Wright,-Jr., President .of Wilberforce University, in which he- discussed the relation between cducation and religion, Dr. Wright said the great heed of education to-day i? a moral ballast, vfithout which our very mental improvement and scientl- , fic achievement are liable to mean , our ruin. "If science shall have the same progress in the next fifty j years that it lias made in the past fifty years," said Dr. Wright, "the annihilation of civilization is al- ' __ most certain unless men are differ- ' ehtlv fnotated fvnrh wViirVi' 1- Vin mo. jority seem to be to-day. The pro- 1 V fit motivation, war exploitation of J various sorts, racial prejudices, ' i etc.-,- must be controlled if not en tirely done away with, and this' will call fqi'(the reinforcement of ? > education Vy religion. Only as men i become deeply convinced of their brotherly relations one to another, and are motivated by.jdealistiq considerations is there safety; and for , these idealistic considerations^- we ? must depend upon religion." , s ? President Wright in his 1 recent ~ visit to Chicago presided over the f session-of the Association for the | -Study 06sNcgrq Life and History ;??during the discussion of African problems. He also addressed the Aiinual Conference of the A. M. _ E. Church on Education. He is scheduled to address the A. M. E. , Conference in Huntington, W.

Nothing gives me more pleasure v than to comply with your request and tell you of some of the exist" ~ in if conditions in the community in which I live. It is indisputable that conditions have greatly-improved" in this vicinity during your administration, yet there is much more that needs to be done, and I am confident that you will- exert every effort to do in the next four years which it j-eems^you are destined to serve. ~ _ At present in this community there is much delay irTgetting pTo- i it \ jiHs approved under the Works <! programs. 2. Authority in putting people to work is greatly divided. The . unemployed is sent from place to place seeking work. There are comparatively few projects o n which unskilled workers are etnployed. 3. "Individuals who are1 given, work, are given little .or no security in their positions. There is reat suffering among people who i on lower economic levels,-who rcrcrmrtreligible for the relief rolls. Wages as paid-Joy local in- " i dust lies are not sufficient for cloth s (-k, food and. sh<-lter. Thousands of \ school children are without school i?i?i honks. Nn servants and tenant ' -farmers still being to the forgotten man's strata. This group in jiia/iy instances is being greatly exploited. 3 These conditions may never be entirely ameliorated, but I believe profoundly that a closely supervised bureau system designed to carry out the social security program, v and to administer relief operated vdirectly from the White House - WOUHI SpeCCl up SUCiai SlHUIIliy 111 - the small community and in the I nation as a whole.

Acquires Collection of Letters of John Brown Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28?The At- 1 lanta University Library< has acquired a large collection of letters of John ~Fro\vn and other papers bearing, on the life of the abolitionist leader whose military activities in an effort to liberate Negroes from slavery .led to his conviction and death at* Harper's Ferry, Va.,' <11 December .2," 1859.. ' Announcement of the acquisition of this nigniy valuable historical material, which has been deposited in ' the University livrary, was made this week by President John Hope of At lanta University. 1 ?ThTT CbLlGtlloTY consits largely of material which has never been published and has not been available to students of this period of American history, ih the collection are 52 autograph letters from John Brown to Seth- Thompson, his financial backer, full of important detail covering Brown's borne apd business life; General Robert Tb~ I.ec's order to take Brown to jail, which was dated from the Harper's Ferry "raid by 1). K. Henderson, who was an eye-witness of the eccnts and as a dispatch carrier participated actively in the alfair; mi's ecllaneous papers of Richard Parker, Brown's judge, including his diaries, and several letters from mdaiives of the abolitionist leader. Of particular value to students are 'the1 letters -froin John Brown to Seth Thompson. These, reveal the writer's life from the age of 26 years to 49 years, and from a more or less complete autobiography of the years during which he was*moving about the United Stater and developing his ideas of using direct action in freeing the slaves. The collection will be available to students of the University who are, engaged in advance study in the field of American history, and will supplement the other material which'the University has gatheredfor research students. Smith Men ^Respond Readily The drive by the alumni association in South Carolina for Johnson C. Smith University was started last week. Letters were former students of the institution whose addresses were available. As was noted in The Palmetto Leader last week, Johnson C. Smith alumni in South Carolina are making an effort to raise a pro rata of the amount necessary to erect a* much needed girl's dormitory. A few years ago Johnson C. Smith University decided to. admit .young' ladies to the student body of -that institution. At present the eolLcjje admits all qualified young ladies who-have -completed t h e work of' the Sophomore yeqr. Voting?ladies?below Sopliuunii e standing will find adequate accommodation at "Barber-Scotia Junior 'College, the"-girls division of Johnson C. Smith University. Lively?interest was?manifested in the drive by marry wlierreceived letters last week* Possibly of interest to alinyyti of the state is the, information that immediately upon I'wcipt oi a icner irom headquarters in Columbia, Mr. Ilopson Biggs, a irradiate of John son C. Smith University and proprietor of the Biggs Funeral Home of Greenville, started off the drive with a donation of $50.00. In the short' space of one week Professor Johnson reprts a total of $1*30.00, and says he is relatively sure the drive in South Carolina will be successful if others to whom lettershave been sent and whom he hasl not yet contacted will be as prompt in sending in their contributions.

In his opening address, the Dis-_ trict Deputy Grand Master extended greetings and welcome to the brethren and outlined the program for the session and reported upon- work accomplished by hfim-Tn' his official capacity during the year. The report was very enlightening and encouraging. Reports relating to internal con(iitions of local Lodges - tended to show that Masionry within this dHL triict-is on a-steadily upward trend. Financial reports "submitted served to bear?eat- that -indication. Problems confronting local lodges were discussed and many" helpful ideas exchanged, to the mutual benefit of all present.

Its the only way a per-{ nianent'lawn c -tr -be -cultivate-d. i This in itself, is a good enough . ?cn.-on to perform tliis tqun-at ion? Third, apply some form, of ferti-. lixt>r. 1 would suggest well decayed barnyard manure, cotton seed meal, sheep manure or hone meal. The first two having a pie fere nee. Setter evenly "'and lake in. Fourth, sow tlie seed. It is best to sow early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Chose, a still day. Do not sow all the seed at once. Mentally, mark off several sections and sow accordingly. Lap each section to be suie. not to leave > . unsown isle. Fifth, if you have a roller, roll the whole I lawn. This presses the seed into the soil, brings the particles, | of soil c loser together thereby iuI creasing the capillary- motion of the water which is simply a up- j waul movement of water in the 1 soil. It also creatps an oven surf ce ever the lawn.' If you do not i have a roller, simply rake th^ seed in lightly. Rake in an opposite direction so that which was used in sowing the seed. This will tend, to scatter the seeds even fly. Sixth, water thereby with a tint' spray. i nis is one ol the most important jobs of the lot. Continue to water until you are as-ured of a stand. Seventh, cut the la\yn only when it has reached a height of about five -inches. If a poor stand occurs-, sow the i emaining seeds. Sow your winter lawn as soon] as possible. These fide fall days are idt'.'l for seed lamination. Allovei* the country, there aie~ campaigns knows as'"clean block" campaign. I thought it would be a .fine thinng to have a "winter lawn block campign." The idea being that one in a given block plant a winter lawn. This would make that block a show place in the city. There is not a more attit'ctive sight than to drive dow: a street bordofed on either. si !c with fresh green lawns. Winter lawns are easy to grow, the seeds* are cheep, and will grow in nlmpst> any type of soil.
