Mr.. Stone will treat Of the condition
of laboring classes during the Amer

of negro slavery into America as an
economic factor. He will also investi-
gate the efforts to utilize slave labor
in manufacturing and other industrial
enterprises. His work will constitute
an exceedingly important and novel
feature in American economic history.
He will also treat of the negro as a
free man, the result and development
of the negro industrial school, their
effect with reference to local economic

congresses to date there have boon
