Morehouse Football Team The Maroon Tiger Squad of Morehouse College is heralded as the best prepared team they have had in recent years. Their added capacity is due to the influx of new ma terial to invigorate the old which has borne the Maroon and White the preceding years. Morehouse lost some of her best players with the passing of the Class of 1933. From Haynes Junior College they have Boswell and LaMar. From Washington High come Green and Toomer. The Britt brothers come to us from Florida State Col lege; Bosten, McMeans, McCurin from Til- dan High in Chicago. All of these men have shown themselves to he a group asset to the team in the early practices and in the first game. The coaches are working to co-ordinate the material. The schedule for the season is as follows: Florida State College, Benedict, Paine, Morris Brown, Tuskegee, Clark, and Fisk. Again the stadium is crowded with en thusiastic spectators. Again Maroon Tigers go out to battle for the old Maroon and White. The Alumni and boosters of the Maroon Tigers may look forward to a hap py return of the football season. Some Values of Education (Continued from Page 7) cation. Thus he is left jobless—still gloating over his education while the world drifts by ever moving toward advancement. Third—The third type is not nearly so great a pest as the other two but his utter lack of purpose stirs one’s anger. This per- son goes to college simply because “everyone else does it” or because there is nothing else to do. Generally he is pushed through as a leaf is carried down stream by the rushing tide and he has usually gone through that institution before he realizes what it is all about. Consequently his education (if it might be called such, for surely he has learned little, if anything) has been only a waste of time and money. He has no con | Compliments of \ ALLIANCE I PRINTING jCOMPANY ! 146 MARIETTA STREET Jacksoti 34-67-34-68 Printers and Publishers I +- tribution to make to the world and wanders about as aimlessly and shiftlessly as when he left high school. Such graduates should be fought against! The person who strives to get the best out of college and to make the best of his edu cation is the one the world is crying for. He goes to school knowing that there art; great needs to he discovered there, and he plucks carefully the most desirable ones. He unites them into one common unit which eventually becomes part of himself and puts them to the best use. But you might say—“Why should a Negro spend years of his life acquiring a lot of chemical and scientific knowledge, studying Latin and the like when he can only secure some job that doesn’t require a knowledge of these things?” There you have it! There is the solution to the whole problem. If the Negro is un trained, cannot prove his real worth and show that he is capable, he will be held back. The world is crying for trained men! It is the educated man who gets ahead every time. It is the educated man who, were it pos sible, would be the only one eligible for the higher offices of his country. It is he who is prepared to lead the Negro toward equal ity. The world is crying for educated men—- men with brains! People everywhere are clamouring for well-trained experienced men. The wise boy or girl peers ahead into that dark abyss of the future and without fear plunges ahead—preparing himself to solve the problems of today. In wisdom he finds strength; in strength he finds courage; and in courage he finds the ability to combat the traditions which have been built up through centuries of toil. He is ready to lead his people ever hoping—ever fighting—ever moving toward racial advancement. Your race needs you! It needs you and your children for genera tions to come. Are you going to heed its call and prepare yourself to face its prob lems, or are you merely content to let it drift along as it has done in past years? t _ \VI7ST END AMERICAN” T | Shoe Shop 835 Gordon Street, S.W.
