Hancock of Virginia Union University as a teacher and preacher who has won deserved recognition. Choosing as his topic, "Thinking In Terms of the Ultimate," Professor Hancock outlined the progress of the many civljliatlons overwhelmed through the ages In their struggle for existence.

had these nations done to be saved?" he asked. "It must be plain today that the things for which we live have led other great peoples to their doom. What must we do to be saved? My ans wets that we. must think In ultimate terms. The things that motivated these nations were things Immediate, things material they lived for themselves, they lacked that ultimate thinking which has always characterized mankind's most constructive endeavors.

The struggle for existence ls shifting from the physical to the psychic and the mills of competition are grinding finer and finer. Life ia making strenuous demands upon the living and It Is a far more serious business today." The survival of the negro, he declared, Is not a foregone conclusion to thoughtful men. "There is no more un- certain proposition in the realms of race relations of the United States than the future of the negro in this country." Within twenty years the negro In this country may have to fare a change in the white man's attitude toward manual labor, he asserted. There is a danger that, the negro's standard of living would outstrip his means of aubslstence because the negro has not yet made that voluntary sacrifice which forms rbe groundwork of a substantial economic life. There Is a danger In the vaunting of negro progreea and the consequent alienating of white friends.

To survive, be said, the negro must be just a little better 'than his whit competitor, for unemployment Is bound to be more and more a part of the Industrial order and the burden of it will almost certainly fall upon the negro The race question is now entering, on its economic phase the most stubborn of them all. Booker T. Washington, be said, thought In ultimate terms, and was misunderstood, but the passing years were vindicating what he had said. Lycurtis Lee, Corapeake" N. graduate of the Academy, spoke on "What Is Right with Negro Youth." He emphasized the optimism of negro youth and the increasing educational fitness of the younger generation to participate in and contribute to modern civilization.

Lillle S. War-renton, speaking on "Paying Our Debts," told of the Indebtedness to master minds of the past and present, and of the debt of negro youth to Hampton's founders, who In spite of criticism had made a definite educational contribution. Joseph G. Fletcher graduate of the four year college, of Cpnnetlsvllle, gave the address from that choosing as his subject "The High School Student and the Race Problem." He conuseled teachers Baseball In ita finer sense 'will head the list of numbers on the Memorial day program Thursday in Poquoson, when the York county boys battle theLangley Field post nine at 3 o'clock on White's Field.
