The book is an autobiographical sketch of Dr. J. J. ? Starks and it covers his achievements in chronological order from his boyhood days on the farm in Gieenwood county, his college ca??----reerr'his hardships-and his proer at Seneca, Morris Gollege and at Benedict. The book is made up of thirty chapters, fraught with inspiring information. It is as a whole a very interesting story of a character worthy of emulation. The introduction to this book was written by C. A. Johnson, Supervisor of Columbia Negro * schools. In his introduction, Mr. John "son said: J^This book is written ~ with none of "rancor^>r vituperation that too often characterizes have been done without apology and without complaint. There is malice toward none, but an expressed gratitude to all who in any way assisted him. Throughout the work we detect a belief m a uivinp rrovraenee, a feeling that somehow events will shape themselves into proper form. Dr. Stanks seems to have a philoso. phy of life based upon experience." "Lo These Many Years," should be read by our struggling youth everywhere. Its place among our literature is equally important, if not more than "A Boy's Life of Booker T. Washington." EQUAL PAY FOR - SIMILAR SERVICE The South Carolina Legislature adjourned without answering in tfny form of legislation, the plea of Negro teachers thru the executive committee of the Palmetto State Teachers' Association. The plqa was that all , teachers In the public schools be given equal pay for similar service* V * r .... Tharg is now before the Qover' nor, a bill which carries, possibly, the $10 por month increase.. As a*?> imrloratan/1 I * I ~ i ? ?i.uviavoiiu ll, 1,111!) IIItreHHH. lias mil Uwm ray in Ihe budThe Governor is conferring this get adopted by the Legislature, week with the State Board of Education and others. In a meeting held in State College last Saturday the executive committee agreed to ask to sit in on this conference. Tt was alleged iru this ** meeting that plans he perfected to re-assemble the House of Delegates of the Palmetto Association for the purpose of raising funds to defend further steps, which may be necessary by Negro teachers tn South Carolina to get equal pay for similar service. Also, there seems to be a majority opinion among people of both races favoring better pay [ for Negro teachers, 1 ' i i iri m I MAYBE SO ANt (By W. H. SI MIND ON 1 There was a period in history Known a8 the Renaissance?the revival of learning. Since that burning point In "Iranian affairs,"" mind has-been definitely on the march:- Since the day when men began to think as they pleased ' and expressed the same in various ways, this Jhing called civllfe*tion has been "going great guns." All of that reminds that there i3 nothing great In the world except man and nothing great in mand except mind. Mind made the world and mind rules the world. Don't forget that. There is a common jealousy exercised by ignorant people?a jeal ousy expressed to the effect that educated or inttelligent people think they are better than ignorant people. I cannot say^ that intelligent people are T>eEFer morally, but 1 know that any intelliDL'TY OlT RIGHTS? j By Dr. Charles Stelzle Since the birth of the American Republic, we have accepted as supreme the doctrine of "the right of liberty and the pursuit of happiness." . In our systems of jurisupon state-craft and sociology, the emphasis has been upon "rights" of mankind. We-have been hearing ahont the rights of rthe child, the rights-_^f_wnmenT_i.he_rights of capital, the rights of labor, civil rights and political rights. , In the Bible, however, there is practically no reference to - the rights of man. The emphasis there oppress the weak we immediately cry out that there has ben a transgression of rights. The Bible dejlares that the law of brotherhood has' been violated. Does this mean that we are to Jo nothing?to simply wait until the oppressor, whoeyer he may be, sees his duty ? Not at all. Whenever an infringement of right, a neglect of duty occurs?it should be brought to the direct attention of the individual, group or nation involved and an opportunity giv-. ~en' td" torrent" the '"dbmhiTssiOfT 6T"~ steps should be taken to see that it is stopped and the "rights" are upheld anj the "duties" enforced. Human rights will never suffer if human?duties-be performed. Duty then, and not rights, is the supreme need of the hour. For the doing of one's full duty will carry 6ne father along" Than the mete granting of another's rights. Gradually, men .are coming to learn this important trutfn Man 1 donmnd? instice nnd i_ riedit BQ't God dehYSTuts more than jus- 1 tice?His Imperative is Love. And "Love is the fulfilling of tho law."

The food he eats, the clotht^, he wears, the house he livcB in, the sidewalks he walks upon and the convenieces he enjoys are all products of intelligence. Ignorance never has bull' anything worthwhile. When an ignorant man falls by the wayside, ill-or hurt, intelligence serves him in it* hospitals and medical experts restore him to health. Ignorance would kill him. Intelligence is the result o f brain cultivated; ignorance i* brain Choked to death by weeds. (Rights Reserved).
