Since the demise of Booker T W'ashington in 1930, Goode has been hlling the shoes formerly occupied by that eminent patriot. Because of the fact that I have exhausted my supply of tobacco, and cannot produce any more ttdreams, I am unable, much to my regret, to predict a future for myself. I am of the confident belief, however. that when the members of the class of ill begin saying their farewells to this ephemeral life, the world will point to them with just pride, and say: K They made the world a better place? God grant that this may come true. Wigg Q3 W 28

This change in the efficiency of the curriculum of our Night High Schools is as from youth to maturity.
