PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO RACE.
Booker T. Washington Thinks the South the
Best Field for His People

Booker T. Washington ectured at the Tompkins
Avenue Congregational Church. Brooklyn, yester-
day morning. He said in part:
The average white man does not see much OF the
highest and most useful life OF the negro The
white man most often sees the black who loafs
on the street corners. idles about the railroad
sorts The average white is too likely 20
tudga the whole by these unfortunate speci-
mems Few white people take the time TO what
the honest Industrious intelligent colOred people
are doing and how they live In their homes. their
places OF business their farms. in the schools
and churches. When the whole race is judged by
what II has accomplished in the last forty years in
what ] have often said. that do not believe that
there is a parallel to such progress in history. We
should not only be judged by the progress we have
actually made but by the obstacles we have over
rences connection with the race. but not the best
that IS taking place one hears very quickly about
the negro who is charged with crime. but very
little about coored man who is going quietly
getting education. securing property, becoming a
faxpayer and living high moral life.
There are few higher examples of heroic self
sacrifice than be found among the quiet, mod
est educated members of the race, who devote
encoura cement OF their fellows in school and
church In thus devoting themselves 10 the up
lft OF the race the education OF men and
women they are helping lift up the whole Ameri-
can life to a higher plane of civilization Let me
give two examples which illustrate the work OF
two educated colored men recently sent out by the
Tuskegee Institute.
Mr.. Washington also spoke in the Church of the
Pilgrims.

migrants arrived in the United

of the year will be l.076, 900, or
some hundreds of thousands

feature is the heavy increase of
