WILItERFORCE HOLDS OWN
There were - some indications
last summer that Wilberforce uni
versity in Ohio would lose its rating
- by- the -Nurth Ceil Ira) sssoct
anon wnicn placed Y\ lloerrorce on
the list among the "A" rated collopes
of America.
Bishop R. R. Wright was elected
president of Wilbevforce and
sent there to serve n year?to- "straighten-out
things",- and this
the able president seems to he do- ~
??T irig in a very fine way^
_A iuim>-? letter was?released ~
from the A. M. E. conference in
?Brooklyn, N. Y, last week in
which Bishop D. H. Sims told the
conference that everything is
showing up weel at the great A.
M. E. university and the former
rating given one school is assured.
We quote from the leading
paragraph in Mr. I^each's story:
"The present setup at Wilberforce
university has a program

FHX)KER WASHINGTON
HIGH SCHOOL
By John D. Reynolds
(I'ublioity Director)
foot bail at Booker Washington 1
lii on the upgrade this year. With I
the large number of boy* wo
out for the team, one wonders
whether the powerful Notre Dame
aggregation has been transferred
nere irom South Bend. However
Coaches J. W'. Martin and R. W.
Hopson are none too optimistic,,
over prospects for a wiuftmg'team
this year. In spite of the return
o f all varsity linemen except
Samuel Snipe versatile lineman
of many seasons at Booker, almost
the entire backfleld of lust
season graduated, which moans
obviously the^building of a completely
new backfield. Fields'
kicking especially will be missed;
then, to add to the rtumbtous
neadaches the coaches have alreadv.
big Pearson mui hard run,
ing Ma ben still have not return
od to school.
With thest> and other problems,
then, the Tornadoes face the
powerful Avery Institute aggregation
from Charleston on Friday
afternoon 3:30 p.m. at Antisdel
ield, Benedict college.
With the first and second weeks
of school now history, and \yith
the third week well under way.
Principal J. Andrew Simmons is
making attempts t o coordinate
he very effectively working com- .
mittee system which worked so
cooperatively and efficiently last
year. Due to the vast turnover
which has occurred since last June
much shifting of old teachers (in
point of service) has- resulted.
*nd many liowfea'chers have been
placed in their stead. As. ol' last
year, ever.y single committee in

TOLERANCE IS NOT ENOUGH
By Ruth Taylor
We talk about tolerance today
as though it were a great virtue.
We prute of being a "tolerant"
people. "We lecture about it, and
write books and articles and feel
exceasively proud oT our selves for
our tftolerantj" attitude tj&wartds
others.
But tolerance is not enough. It
is negative in its viy,ue and far
too often carries~Avith it a Pharisaical
condescension which i? ut.
[terjty foreign to the American way
of life. According to the dictionary
"to tolerate" is "to suffer to
be done withot active opposition;"
"tolerant" is "of long suffering
disposition," and "toleration" is
the""act" of allowing that which i?
not wholly approved."
Surely that is not what we mean
when we talk of -tolerance. Nor
it it what we desire. There is no
room for mere tolerance of one
another, or of any group, in._a_da~.
mocraey where the ideal set forth
in our governmental credo is that
"all men are created equal."
What we need today is not
"toleration" between the .many
groups of diverse races, national^
ities and creeds which go tn make
"up~thi^^Amer?ca of ours?but a
spirit of understanding, a knowledge
of the good and the beauty
and the wisdom each group contributes
to the common whole.
What' UP npp<) t<wlnv iv mutual
understanding. "To ^understand,"
-according to the dictionary is "to
comprehend the relation of things,
to know through information."
And one of the definitions of "understanding"
iK possessing comprehension
and good sense."
M"'|"il understanding '?meafts"
mutual trust?the belief in and
knowledge of each other that is
the great unifying f orce which
^can Avetd^us^ Tifto a nation invincible
to attack from without because
it immunizes u? to attack from
within. The Fifth Column we need
tu fearTnosT isTthat created by our
own racial and religious prejudices,
often held unconsciously, but
far too apt to break out at the
wrong moment?and to destroy
our ability to think clearly and
to judge wisely.
Sc MflT
There must be-mo dividing line*
between our"' people. We must be
Americans all?understandi ng and
believing in each other and working
together to defend our country
from all threats of disunity- from
whatever source they come.

THE PALMETTO LEADER
A SUCCESSFUL MOTORCADE
On the morning of September
28, 1941 at 7:40 a.m. E.S.T. Misses
Janie Rucker, Home Demonstration
agent of Sumter county;
Reva Burgess, beautician; A. E.
Brogdon, a member of the facul-ty
Linoola -high ^-school and" the
writer started on a journey. Leav
ing Sumter, S. C. at such an early
hour enabled us to catch the
sweetness of the morning breeze
which permeated our system and
gave us health and vigor sojhat
we could enjoy" the trip we anticipated.
It was P.n ideal situation for us
the day was calm, the roads were
fine, and we were in a happy at- i
mosphere we had asked God's Di- \
vine guidance and had overwhelm- ,
ing confidence in him that he
would take care of us.
\Ve were attracted by the many
beautiful scenes as we went .on
and on our first stop was Green
ville;?We~TPhrxetU then continued
our journey. Reaching the moun
tains we gazed on its beautiful
3ceTTes~afi<r chatted freely with ,
each other concerning the wonders
of nature. Those of us who
had never traveled through .the..,
mountains were amazed because
of its supreme beauty and splen
dors as we passed through.
Miss Reva Burgess having once
lived in Asheville was the Bureau
of Information for us. Our first
stop was with Mrs. Harris a'
friend of Miss Burgess who lives
in AsHeville. Here we spent a
few brief but pleasant moments.
Next we went to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. James Brogdon of Asheville.
Mr. Brogdon and the writ.
- or hadn't?srrtr~each~~other"inee
they graduated at Allen univer-srty
in 1917. Naturally this was
a happy reunion. He_is _a_rela- five
of Miss A. E. Brogdon. Here
at this home we ate a hearty appetizing
hot. dinnciv?It?was a
s "pleasure to have had a chance to
see and partak*. of the hospitality
of this family.
Leavin ghere we went out to
Oteen. N. C. where at the Veter~
an hospital we saw many patients
njoying thL. mountain breeze.
But the climax of the trip was
when the writer saw the smiling-face
of her loving companion Mr.
R. H. Johnson of Pinewood. We
were happy beyond expression to
_ see Jiim-in such an excellent spirit
and it is our prayer and hope
that an all wise God will restore
him to health in the near future
and he will be with us again.
There is nothing toa_ hard for the
Lord to do. We reluctantly left
the hospital in order that we
might be able to pass through
the mountains before- sunset.
Miss Rucker a real driver was
at the wheel and with God she
landed us safe. On our waj7s*bSck
after replenishing our machine in
Asheville we made only one stop.
This was at the home of Mrs.
Rucker the mother of Miss Rucker.
She lives in Belton, S. C. It
Miss Rucker's folks. They made
it very?pleasant?for us. Miss
- -ftucteerV" folks ' like herself are
very outstanding anxl are render
uiK vuiuauu1 service to numaniiy.
Leaving: Belton in high spirit
we sang God's praises to our
soul's content. At midnight we
reached Sumter and sent u p
words of praise and thanksgiving
to our Ifeavenly Father for having
given us a successful motor-,
Townsehd" which" was enjoyed by
ill who were present.
