Having been a child and having dealt witl children all my life, I knew the little urchin was going tp "have some candy"?.wu's there ever a child who did not prefer-eandy~4*> almost any other treat? To my \cry. groatfjsurprise' the Jittle fellow said "1 will have sonve lydogna and bread." Of. course I was glad to supply him with bologna and bread; but I began to think what n revision...uf?ideals has gone op aiiiong the children when little urchins are shifting from a "eandv basis" to a "bologna and bread basis!"

When this ivriter urged two years aeo Negroes to consider .he Negro had to shift , from our. candy basis. City seriously the return to the farm, hy realized that ife is a candy, life.
