"Negro Managed Building j and Loan Associations in the Unit j ed States." by Samuel A. Rosen lvg. associate professor -of ac ; nlin.tr at Hampton Institute.

By Dr. Charles Stelqle ? 4 There are about 600,000 words m the English language, but the average man uses only about 300. and much of the time he uses these improperly. He" is much like a mechanic who has fifty high-grade tools in his chest, but uses onlj three, no matter what the job maj be, thus depriving' himself of his possible resources,as a good work man. As a matter of fact, the average man can read more thai 300 words, but he is simply afraid to use them in his conversation. Whether it's fair or not', people judge us largely by the language we use. Many a worker has losi the chance for promotion because, he hadn't the ability to speakiproperlv. Either his language * was ? ? iingramniatical. or he omfJifr.'t fine tiie words which expressed hi*s ideas. It any such lllllll ll'lll'iitd?just one new word a day, he Would, at the end of ther vear. have twee on many words at his command as when he began. Here's a \ simple way to accomplish it: Suppose, as he reads his daily newspaper-?ov anything else?he finds a won' which lie has never used?sometimes because he doesn't know,how to pronounce it. fiut exactly what it means arm how it is pronounced, and then, as oft& as he can during the day. he bring? that word into his conversation? either in seriousness or in pure t'un?until he is able to set it out of his mouth, without getting red in the,face. What excitement there will be in chasing that word (intil t is actually his own. It will give hhn a lietter chance to become a leader among his associates. It will open other door? which-have- heretofore been closed to him, because some people havo thought that he was just plain "dumb." Best of all. it will uncoil sciously lead him intp the a|pireciation of the bigger and beter things of life.' All ofiyTis'may set-ni like a queer way hi rMKJM ?t iiicin > , \> m-i . there arc so many other ways doing it?but, make no -mistake t?> learn a word a day will also help a man in every other way f AMPMKM) HAPTIS'I CUIHCH Rev.
