AL COMMENCEMENT UNIVERSITY ion is now closing the most Number 42 MIDNIGHT ATTENDS CLOSING EXERCISES AT TUSKEGEE Two Hundred Finish from This Noted School Tuskegee Institute, Ala., May 31.—Just at this time of a year we have hundreds of young people stepping out into life from the schoolroom, some well qualified and some half prepared, and some not even prepared at all. Some of them will graduate from real schools, and some will just stop by the wayside, feeling that this world should just take them up and tote them along because they were born on an age of progress, yet they are not prepared to contribute anything to it. Some are going to depend on the fact that they are graduates and that is a passport to the higher things in life. You will find them sitting down waiting for something to turn up instead of turning up something. Young men will wait for a position in keeping with their train to come and look them up and say "Here I am, take me," and they will walk right into fame and fortune. I see them failing right now, for those who would have anything in this world must go after it. The education is only to tell them just a little about the hows, and they must be prepared to apply it. Perhaps as you read this letter you will think of your own son or daughter or both, what awaits them in life, where they will go and what place they will fill. Will the world know that they passed through it? What kind of service they will render to humanity? Will you be one of the damphules I have heard about and say, I don't want my girl to cook, wash, iron, or don't want my son to be a flunky in a hotel, or be a Pullman porter, because he is a college man or a high school gram-u-rate and is entitled to something higher? We are entitled to what we can convince the world we are entitled to in it. We get what we earn and go after, and while we are after it, we should not be idle, but make every day count for something. Keep on keeping busy. All kinds of work is honorable and go at it and not become a loafer. I am here at Tuskegee Institute as you see, and I am attending the commencement, and I see life as I never seen it before. I see the late Booker T. Washington as I have never seen him before, and then I see Dr. Robert R. Moton as I have never seen him before, and I can see in both of them the spirit of christ. Their aim is at good. Dr. Washington laid a great foundation for human uplift for the teaching of true manhood and womanhood. He worked hard and then he was told to take that eternal rest. He took his flight to the God who had given him to the world. We stopped and shed some tears, you joining in putting flowers on his grave. We could not understand why he should be called away, but God's will and not ours. But Booker T. Washington is not dead. He lives with more grandeur than when he walked this earth. He lives in the heart of millions. When Dr. Washington lived, God had right by his side a man in training, a man getting close to God for use, and He commanded him to step forward and Robert R. Moton laid down his pen and uniform at Hampton Institute, and stepped down to Tuskegee. He had already said "I will go where you want me to go dear Lord, and I will serve where you want me to serve." This great institution has never paused one minute, but has been going right on to the service which God had planned for it to do. Here I am today just through witnessing one of the greatest events of my life, the graduation of nearly two hundred young people for this institution and then the class reunion of 1923, presented to the work just five hundred dollars. I wish you could have been here. Wonderful, wonderful indeed, is but expressing it mildly, and I will (Continued on Page 2.) THOS. KNAPPER Associate Editor MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. MRS.

The many friends of Dean Edward Vaughan of Western University are delighted and rejoice to know, he is rapidly getting back to his health again after many months of confinement. Dean Vaughan has been one of the great factors at Western University, in training young men for christian work. Miss Gladys Garvin of Wilberforce, O., will visit her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Garvin, 815 Everett avenue for about ten days, who will arrive here Saturday or Sunday morning from Jefferson City, Mo., where she has been teaching in Lincoln Institute this year. The editor regretted very much to learn of the death of Miss Olive Henderson, who died in Topeka and for many years one of our most efficient teachers. Miss Henderson was a model christian character and had friends everywhere. The relatives have the sincere sympathy of the editor and staff, in the loss of this ideal woman. Mrs. Eula Lee Jones and her little daughter, Eddie Lucille, 947 Walker avenue, are home for the summer from Columbia, Mo., where Mrs. Jones has been teaching in the city schools for several years.

After the regular order of service the missionary offering was taken by the little girls. This being Mother's Day the pastor, Rev. J. R. Ransom took for his subject, "Memories of Mother." He undoubtedly was feeling his best as he gave us such a beautiful picture of our mother. How around the fireside she taught us how to pray and read the bible, and taught us to love God. Then seeing her bring us to Sunday School and church. Then showed us how she had lived a true Christian life. Now she was in Heaven watching and waiting for our coming. He told us that we, who have our mother with us, should be kind to them, for once her chair is vacant it can never be filled. Three united with the church, Mrs. Gertrude Blunt, Mrs. Georgie Larkin and Mrs. McMurry. The pastor introduced Mr. W. A. Biby, who came to us to help put on a "Drive to raise money to finish our church." He made a splendid talk which was very encouraging to us. Five thousand and four hundred dollars ($5,400) was pledged. The Roundabout Club pledged fifteen hundred dollars. This club is a live wire in the church with Mrs. Gaines president.

DORSEY GREEN, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published May 25, 1923.) FORT SCOTT. KANSAS. Presiding Elder Dr. J. C. C. Owens held his third quarterly meeting at Wayman chapel April 29. He preached two highly instructive sermons and lectured Monday night on "The Right Hand Without a Mate," to an appreciative audience. The Presiding Elder seemed pleased with the work of the pastor and people. Madame Pearline Osborne of Kansas City, Mo., who gave a recital at Wayman chapel Friday, May 4, is a reader of exceptional ability and gave entire satisfaction to the large audience that greeted her. While her work is highly entertaining she excels in her Shakespearean and Biblical readings. Do not fail to hear her when opportunity presents itself. Miss Vivian Young won first place in the Mozart Music Club piano contest Tuesday night and Miss Dorothy Tillman second place. Miss Berthina Hunter is the founder and president of the club. Arrangements are being made to present Mrs. Tillman's pageant, "Spirit of Allen," at Dallas, Texas, Birmingham, Ala., and Brooklyn, N. Y. Sunday, May 20, will be observed as Educational Day for Ward Hall at Wayman chapel. An excellent program will be given. Rev. Tillman is suffering with a severe cold, but keeps up with his work. Dr. J. W. Brown, veterinary surgeon, was Wayman's delegate to the Electoral College at Parsons, and was elected as delegate to the General Conference at Louisville, May, 1924. He is a graduate of Fort Scott High School and Kansas University. W. M. M. S. Quilt Contest and Rummage Sale May 17. GRAND LODGE OFFICERS.

MIDNIGHT never be able to tell you what I desire to have you know. The most important was, of course, the exercises, but to my mind there was something more than that. You may not agree, but that's your business and none of mine. The people came here from all parts of the country, and then this is the time that the people of Macon County had their vacation. They came all ages, sizes and conditions of life. The mother and father who served back in the days of slavery, those who had wept, who had worked, who had prayed for this day. They came to see the young people getting ready to enter this busy world, world of competition, world of antipathy, world of prejudice, world just full of everything, a world that will try a man's soul to live in it and keep in harmony with God. They used their mules, their horses and some of them were on hands with their sons and daughters who had emancipated the mule and horse and were stepping to the tune of John Henry, Hudson, Catalac, Studerbaker, Dodge Pierce-Arrow and Hupmobile. You had an opportunity to see with your own eyes progress and study it. At Tuskegee Institute, your minds are trained to think. You must use your head for more than a mere hat-rack. You must think along all lines, hence when you get through you are practical and prepared to apply your education and not a mere fool. You can say to the world "Stand aside and see a man-woman go by." Dr. L. K. Williams, from Chicago, delivered the address, and I am here to tell you that he made a great speech. It was not a school boy's oration, but a real practical common sense address on "Education." While he went up stairs, so to speak, he was within reach of all, and I am ready to sing with him "Praise God for His Life." He said among other things: "The end of education is not for personal development and gain alone, but since man is a social being, made for contact, education is to fit him for his place in human society, making him a producer and not alone a consumer. Every man is a debtor to society and the state. He can best discharge his obligation as he is prepared. "Education helps the individual to discover himself. It leads to the notion of self-consciousness and imparts a sense of personal responsibility. It gives an individual an acquaintance with the problems and needs of his day and generation; and fits him to do his part in the solution of these problems. To solve these problems the individual must know what has been done in the past so that he could be saved from the mistakes made." I want to congratulate the speaker, Dr. Robert R. Moton, and all the people of Tuskegee Institute for they have wrought well. It was a great company. I think there must have been five thousand people on the campus this day. Many did not get in seeing distance of the exercises, but were here just the same and were counted. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. James Dooley, principal of the Southern Normal and Industrial Institute, Brewton, Ala. He is one of the great men of the race doing something. The school has closed, but I have accepted an invitation to go see the plant and tell you about it. Prof. W. H. Holtzclaw was here also. Now it will be June when you read this letter, and we will be facing the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress in Hot Springs, June 18. Hope you will be there, for it is going to be a great meeting. Everything is ready right now for us. The Executive Board of the National Baptist convention will meet then to prepare programs for the next session of the convention to be held in Los Angeles, California. I hope you are going to be there for there will be some big doings out there. They are going in large numbers. Will you go with us? But before going too far, I must remind you that there is going to be a great session of the National Negro Business League in Hot Springs, and L-hope you will attend. Come let us go there and get things in line. I have a business talk for you myself in another letter. Look out for the next. Wrjte to me 2813 Thomas avenue, Dallas, Texas, care Rev. E. Arlingtin Wilson. I have spent a night in Atlanta, Ga., since I wrote you that other letter. I want to thank Rev. Lucian Miller, for that fine chicken which he gave me to eat between Richmond and Atlanta. Well cooked and ready for me. I will bring this letter to a stop now.
