The Afro-American Press.

1.-The Future of the Afro American Press
was the subject of an address delivered
last evening before the Bethel Literary So
ciety by Christopher J. Perry editor Of
the Philadelphia Tribune Tracing the adj
vance made in Journalism during the past
few years the speaker had this to say of
the part played by the publishers:
Your negro publisher of today is a well
equipped mechanic. He knows the neces-
sty OF an up-to-date, first-class printing
establishment, owned, operated and direct
ed by negroes, and is therefore no longer
regarded as a curio when possessed of
these things. The journals which will WELD
the largest influence upon public thought
will be those edited by men superior in
character and special training for the work
to which they have consecrated their lives
and talents"
