" — - NEED OF EDUCATION FOR THE NEGRO By II. Wallace Thurman In this great country of ours the frxilities for the gaining of an educa tion are more numerous than in any ! other nation. Then why should we as ! a race refrain from taking advantage 1 of that which should and can be ours? The majority of our people at the present date can see the advantage of m extensive educational training, but to our great regret, we still have a few mossbacks who seem to think that .is long as they can count the contents of their pay envelope they have all he education necessary for them. The children of the twentieth cen i lury have unlimited opportunities to ' advance in the field of education. | They have a chance to reach the point i where they will not have to subject j themselves to the insults .and indigni ties now showered upon them becacse i of the meager positions which they i hold. They are hindered from taking I positions where there is a chance for advancement because of lack of edu cational training. Is it not about time for us to see that we will never be able to gain the respect and recognition due us from he Caucasian race and never be able to place ourselves on the level with them until the illiterateness now prevalent among many of our race is entirely obliterated? Then why should the parents of children sit back with on air of importance and say: "If John .wishes to attend school alright and if not alright?” This seems to be the attitude prevalent among many of the parents of our race. Then, on 'he other hand, why should the chil dren who have the advantage of ob taining an education shirk their duty and not take advantage of that which tlioi^' parents, who see the necessity of an education, are willing to make sacrifices in order that their sons or I daughters may obtain and benefit from that which was denied them? The argument that after the edu cation is received it is of no value to us is often put forth. The reason that the majority of us find no out let for our education after obtaining ;t is becacse we sit back and expect j opportunities to come rushing to us, we expect all obstacles tu be auto | mntically removed from our path I merely because ite have an education. ; We expect to gain without the least (hit of effort on our part unforetold i success. Every nation, every race, j every person has to make sacrifices i n order to gain success and we as a | race must learn to make sacrifices ! for though we may not benefit by them our posterity and others to fol I 'ow will. If the men and women of : today push themselves forward and ■ nstill it in the minds of the men and | women of tomorrow^ that when the i uneducated Negro is in the minority I then and not until then will we be i able to stand forth with the eyes of the world upon us and receive/that which we demand.

HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 4.—The “big league” football season opened last Saturday with a clean, sportsman like game between Hampton and Shaw—the first game in six years be l veen these institutions. After a long vacation the Shaw boys invaded the Hampton Institute campus and played one of the finest games played by them since the good old days of 1000-10. The play started with Hampton's kick to Shaw-, and then Shaw started her heavy work on the Hampton line, but made no progress and was forced to kick. Hampton opened up desper ately on the Shaw line, making valu able gains, in spite of the superior weight of the “Tar Heels.” Shaw was in great danger when Hampton tried a forward pass which was inter cepted by a Shaw man. Here the "Seasiders” lost a chance for a touch down. Shaw tried a few end runs, but the gains were only minor. Then a for ward pass advanced them 30 yards. This seemed to weaken the "Seasid ers.” Shaw could now go through their line, and Shaw penetrated the Hampton line like a shell from the “Busy Bertha” going through a news paper. Then Hampton was in the danger i zone. A little pow-wow by the “Ta Heels” wasted a few more minutes. Shaw came back and sent up another pigskin—“zep”—that fell in Williams’ arms. Hampton had the ball again I at the right time. It was at this point that "Ike” i Wright made a star of himself. A I powerful kick sent the ball soaring to I Shaw. “Ike” was pushing Hardy so ! closely he fumbled the kick and Grant covered the ball for Hampton, put ting Shaw in the same fix that | Hampton had jdst been in. The quar ! *er ended with Shaw bending low. I The rooters began to sing “Cheer the j Weary Traveler.” Some one did cheer those weary i ' Tar Heels,” because they came back trong. A little fumble which was ! covered gave Hampton the ball again, j Temple made a long run, after which a heavy penalty of 15 yards put Shaw up against it. Hampton had first down and one yard to go for a touch down. A great argument resulted, but the wise counsel of the football genius, Mr. .Wilkinson, soon convinced (he “Tar Heels” that Jie knew what he was doing. Did Hampton go over? No! Shaw at down like a lion at bay. Four times Hampton rushed the line and four times they were hurled back Shaw came in possession of the hall i ind kicked out of that dangerous j place. “Ike” Wright took his old job ! back in quarterback. After a few more runs by the Hampton team, the | first half ended, with the score 0-0. Shaw Ruled Supreme Shaw ruled supreme during the en tire second half. It began with the kick. Shaw kicked to Hampton and the “Seasiders” made a commendable gain with it. Then some more line plunging made Hampton look good, but there was just one fumble too many. Cook, the fast Shaw end scooped up the hall and made the first touchdown. Hampton began to weaken fast. All hope and courage was gone. Their line was broken ;>t will and a heavy barrage of forward passes gave Shaw another touch down. The lineup: Shaw—Harris, right end; Craw ford, right tackle; Delanev, right mard; Stewart, center; Crump, left guard; Summerville, left tackle; Cook, left end; Anderson (cantain), ouarterback; Toliver, right halfback; Curtis, left halfback; Hardv, fullback.
