chief executive officer, the Rev. III. l..
Moorehouse, d. D., of Nef York. This
concludes his quarter century of service.
Dr. Wallace Buttrick, u New York,
secretary of the general eCs Ication board,
described the present statu1 of the negro
in this country as man sTld citizen, ac-
cepting the view of Bisho4 Galloway. OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church South,
that there will never be social mingling OF
the races and that they dill worship in
separate churches and be educated in Sepa-
rate schools. Granting this, kthe four needs
of the negro are home, laGd, school and
church, and he needs there all at once.
These will give him self-dir scting capacity
and economic efficiency. I Many negro
churches are pagan and mus be Christian
lied.
President Sale, of Atlanta College said
the most alarming thing frfm a Southern
educators point of view WIS the growing
unrest and discomfort among the negroes,
for which they had cause: enough, since
never had race feeling run q high nor the
negro had so little show.
Resolutions were passed Expressing APP
