secured for him in Oxford, England's
foremost university. He graduated
with honors in 1901.
Because of his color he found the
training given him could not be ex-
ercised in England. Since 1901 he
has visited all the countries of the
world. The eastern hemisphere, the
western and the islands of the sed.
He is on his third tour. His is the
soundest and deepest philosophy I

the recognition of economy and tem-
perance as imperative to the winning
of a sound financial basis from which
may spring race progress along eco-
