is doing nothing toward the uplifting
of the negro. In this case the south
arn whites have paid educational taxes
whether willingly or not to an excel
lent purpose.
According to the census report from
which these figures are obtained the
percentage of negroes in gaint'ul occu-
pations was larger in 1900 than in 1890,
both for the south and for the entire
union In 1890 for the whole country
the figure was AL; in 1900 it was 45.2.
In the south according to the returns,
AT per cent OF the negroes in 1900
were in gainful occupations, against
40.7 per cent in 1890. Interest attaches
to the nature of the occupations to
which the negro has turned ip recent
sive of Maryland. Delaware and Mis-
souri,. there were 3567,42 negroes in
gainful occupations, an increase of
29.T per cent since 1890. OF these,
3.427,20 We're in q occupations, of
which agricultural laborers numbered

There Is much in this showing to
breed hope for the ultimate settlement
of the negro's status thru industrial
development and interdependence OF
the races that development of south
ern industries must bring about.
When the south white and black has
learned to read and write and work
each race will find itself help and not
burden or bugbear to the other.

A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

A hopeful indication of eventual i'm
proveinent of the colored race may be
found In the growth Of education
among southern negroes.
In 1900 the percentage OF illiterate
negroes was but IS, against GOT In
1890. for the entire union the percent
age OF illiterate negroes was 44.5,
against 57.1 In 1890. Negro iliiteracy
In Louisian extends to Gil per cent Of
the negro population, while in Alabama,
South Carolina and Georgia over 30
per cent of the negroes 10 years of age
or over were flliterate. In the other
southern states over one-third of the
negroes We're illiterate. Thus 1t will be
seen that certain portion sof the south
have reduced the percentage of Hitter
acy by more than one fifth. This is a
