ABSTRACT

It is comparatively easy to perform almost any kind of work, but the value of any work is in having it performed so that the desired results may be most speedily reached and in having the means with which the worker labors arranged so as to meet certain ends. It is the constant problems of those organs which have charge of the well-being of the body, to cause digestion to take place, so that what is nourishing in tie food may reach every part of the body; not only the portions near the organs in which digestion takes place, but also the most extreme parts of the different members. One of the ways in which the problem is serious is with respect to labor. In almost every city and town in the South a large proportion of the colored people are shiftless so far as manual labor is concerned.
