If the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will soberly take up every flagrant case of lawbreaking, and if it allow no withdrawal of constitutional rights to pass unchallenged, it will perform a most useful service to America and for the advancement of all its citizens. Many other opportunities may be open in time to such an association, but is not this its first and most obvious obligation?
THE TEACHER.
By Leslie Pinckney Hill.
Lord, who am I to teach the way
To little children day by day,
So prone myself to go astray?
I teach them Knowledge, but I know
How faint they flicker, and how low
The candles of my knowledge glow.
