The subject of the education of the negro
will receive considerable attention in the
forthcoming annual report of the commits
sioner of education. This subject has been
treated at great length and in all of it's
phases by Kelly Miller, professor of mathe-
matics Of Howard University. The report
considers the educational significance of the
growth and tendency of negro population
and various questions relating to the life of
the negro. Professor Miller refers to the
fact that the negroes in this country to-
day outnurhber the entire population of the
United States ninety years ago.
There are four phases of the negro pop
ulation which entail important educational
consequences" says Prof Miller.
"O The movement toward the northern
and western states, where there are no
separate schools, places a portion of the
race on the same educational footing with
children of European descent. A broad
distinction, therefore, must be made be
tween the states which divide the schools
on racial lines and those which do not.
Owing to the relative density of the negro
population in the two sections, the scholas-
tic separation Of the races follows quite
closely the line of cleavage between the
slave and free states. The half million
negroes in the northern states constitute no
special educational problem.

we must regard this sort Of education as very
valuable. * So.
The last year has been notable to club women
all over the country because Of the great bien-
NAL convention held In California. You are to
have a special report Of that convention by one
selected by the Wisconsin delegation for that
purpose. think envy her little, she has
such magnificent subject to talk about.
T. INSPIRATION OF GREAT GATHERINGS. '
These great wOmen's conventions are to me a
JOY and inspiration second to nothing else. It is
not SO much the work they do, though that also
Is as fine as heart could wish, but it Is the
character and ability they represent, the high
ideals and ane altruistic spirit they manifest
charm of members. With the traditions and
prejudices one has inherited one likes to see
often and often that the ewig weiblche Is in no
way incompatible with understanding and a de-
termination to help. One likes to see also that
the club is not merely local. that It IS in no
sense provincial, but that it is truly and broadly
national, embracing many varieties of women
from all sections Of this great country. The
total number IN attendance ut. the Los Angeles
convention, the widely diverse localities from
which they came and the fine personality Of
members were to me equally remarkable and
equally impressive *
Mrs. Youman's concluding words were: s5
I hone the federation will continue to foster
the education Of women through books and
through contact with human need as expressed
in social and civic life. hope it will demon
strate more and more that It Isl not mere bond
OF sentiment, not rope of sand, but q strong
working organization with high ideals and with
efficient methods Of approaching those ideals. I
desire for 1T constantly increasing reputation
for doing things.
