brings us to the close of our
-school career for this term. For 180
days both teachers and students have
. labored hard. Teachers , trying , to '
iristill into thy. students those principles
which will keep .them in., the
paths leading to success. IT is the
prayer of each teacher that his or
her work has not been in vain.

Tils unique way. flis wofXs~ were"sX*
sharp as to hold his audience speli^

spoke so forcefully, many were heard
to mourn: "Am llistening to Socrates,

always a pleasure to listen to a per?scnrwiia

Through his influence the students

IlKV. R. M. MYERS PLEADS TO
THE BRD'HIERIIOOD ^
Mr. Editor:
After building churches from my
boyhood days telling men and wo- H
men the way to heaven, consoling1
thef bereaved, families with funeral'
orations which is the most important 7
thing I know of, but there are other 1
things that arc mucr\ neeuoq lor us?_
Lo preach about, and OialTTs how to
live on earth and provide for our *
wives unci, children and places for
When I go over this old world, from
North to South* and Kast to West, I
see thousands of girls and boys prepared
for any walk of life.
"All dressed up," and rip where to
go. What's going to * become of
them? They all can't Jbe doctors or
teachers or preachers; The lasjt- I
mentioned seems to be the lowest valuer
of all. Especially among our
people. But may I repeat it should |
be the making of man both soul and
body, " :**.? 7
Jesus told us to "teach them to observe
all things." Without a vision
the people perialfr - ... _
We have viSioned a Way to bury
the dead -such as insurance companies,
lolges, burial aid societies and
what not. But, where is .the crowd
that has gotten to-gc-ther "for'"busi- '"**
ness ? I mean in .JL.big way. There -
will nothing1 be done' with a few so /
said big Negroes. !Bnl as I have said
and will su.v again, bring up the rear.
Interest the popularest. I > had a
visioni of a C. U. !>. U. V. of K. which
will"be known as the Colored United ~r
Uplingting Club of - America, which
will be locally in every church that is
available, and a hcaidfquorters W'hich
will be a supreme club and through
that* fcjub, all the clubs will report"
through their representatives and will
do business on a big scale that
will be suitable for occupations for
our people, and an1 asset to the united!-iz-;
It can be done. As easy as thousands
of dollare can be hoarded and . .
laid up to run business, farming and
what not. For the good Book says
"he that tills the land shall be satisfied
with bread." So many false t
dreamer? and prophets have declar-'
ed that nothing can be done among 4
Negroes. Therc'lsirnrotheThood in
Philadelphia, Pa., with ten thousand
members planning, to do business and '
is doing business that is a?help to
themselves and the state and they
are moving tins way. My call is to
the leaders of every walk of life.
Let's line up that we may be an
asset in this world and not a liability.
Yours for the advancement of this
cause,

eighty Negro killers in Atlanta slew
76 Negroes and lour whites and constituted
76 per cent of the 109 killers
identified. Four-fifths* of the
Negro homicide victims were slain by
members of their own race.
These are the startling facts re-*
vealed by an oVh;msi.ive study?--of
the city's homicide record fur lb?i
mode for the .Qommission- on Interracial
Cooperation by 4the A|Uanta
School of Social Work, and given to
the Negro press by the former organization.
An
analysis of this record, which
gives Atlanta one of the highest homicide
rates in the entire country, receals
the following facts:
