Albert Johnson Address Graduates Washington, June 24.—One hundred and eighty-four young men and wom en were the recipients of degrees at commencement exercises at Howara University May 31. They were dis tributed as follows: College of Arts and Science, 49; Teachers’ College, 2^;, Theology, 7; Medicine, 12; Den tistry, 42; Pharmacy, 17; Law, 28. This is probably the largest number of degree graduates in the history' of the institution and represents an increase of 28 over the number of last year. The increase is due largly to the ex ceptionally large class in Dentistry, which is twice the size of last year’s class. The annual address to the graaua es was delivered by the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Daniels, citing statistics obtained from the office of the Director of Census, commended the colored people upon their progress in fifty years. He stat ed his belief that all racial problems of the country could be solved, if both whites and blacks would take the sim ple prescription of one pound of com mon sense per day, until relief was afforded.

THe address to the graduates of the non-degree departments of the Acad emy, Commercial College and Teach ers' College was delivered on Monday night by Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of the A. M. E. Church. In a brilliant talk full of illustrations from African life and customs, Bishop Johnson spoke of the moral battles that the young secondary students would have to face in life, and ended with a mag nificient plea for missionary teachers to Africa. “Racial Good Will” is the signifi cant title of a neat pamphlet, contain ing excerpts of addresses delivered at various times in the past few yeaers by Major R.
