We remarked above that, though in some parts disregarded, the Negro is integrally a part of the ; American whole. Why not? He has i been here all his life, he speaks its I language, wears its clothes, wor ships its God and acts similarly under given similar circumstances. “This provision offers excellent op portunity to see just ho'.v fit our Ne gro industrial and manual training schools can make those who have at tended them. Let them bend their attention to that end; let the younger Negroes who are in the Northern cities attend the night high schools where courses in mechanics and the like are given free. “To me it seems that the end of this conflict is going to give us our rich opportunity for industrial develop ment, but we shall have our chance only in so far as we are industrially prepared to meet with and do the work required of a skilled laborer.” EARLY MARRIAGE. National divorce records show that a majority of those granted are men under twenty-five and women under twenty-three. What is the conclusion? One or both of the contracting parties entered upon a state of life of which they knew nothing and of which 1he unexpected burden proved too great for their ability or their honor. Of all earthly institutions marriage is the most sacred. Through the union of a man and a woman the home se cures its foundation. On our homes and the children bom in our homes the race depends. Medical science af firms with the positiveness of absolute proof that very early marriages are a mistake. Eugenists have shown that it is mature parents who give the world its largest proportion of men tally and physically efficient sons and daughters. While sentimentality may urge early marriage, all physical and moral facts refute this dictum. People have no right to marry until they know themselves and are fit to assume the responsibilities of life. Youth is ig norant of itself and of its relation to others.—Ex. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS.
