RACE PROBLEM
Percys Solution Education
and Emigration.
Ideas Endorsed By President
Theodore Roosevelt.

New York, Aug. 10.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has sent 1.-THE
Outlook" an article on the ne
gro problem by Leroy Percy, a
prominent Mississippian. with
the suggestion that it be printed.
because it seems TO him TO be 50
important and because he firmly
believes that the effective way
to help both races in the South is
by foil loving just such course
as MIR. Percy advocates.
Mr.. Peroy protests against the
theory that the education of the
negro should be stopped. He
says there ia not enough of the
negro in the South, and what
there ia of him is not good
enough. He says:
"rhe negro must educated to
the extent necessary to enable
hin TO know whether he is being
rightfully or wrongfuIly treated.
Any other idea is harmful and
cruel because of its harshness.
The industrial development of
the South demands that he be
educated.
zone of the common results of
education is that the negro
wishes to separate himself from
the ignorant mass of his own
race and go where he can be
j dyed as man of his indi-
vldudl merit; and when be goes
he takes just that much of the
race problem with him, and
leaves the problem for us just
that infinitely small step nearer
solution. To drive the negro
from the South in mass would
mean Industrial revolution; to
rest the development of the South
upon the negro alone means
industrial paralysis"

The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1907-08-13

Mr.. Percy then refers to the
development of the west by i'm
migrants and draws the contrast
between the magnificent COM
monwealths built by the immi-
grants while the people of the
south are feebiy reaching with
"lame hands for higher things. !"
Don't drive the negro out, >"
he says, "but educate him,
equip him and let him go as he
wills, taking his troubles to
other climes, filing HE place
with the beet immigrants you
can get but filing it with white
men possessing the potentialities
of citizenship. whose children or

ment which has been going on n
the south but it has not been

gro; it has been despite of him
We have developed just where
the white man has done the work
and just in proportion to the
work done by him. The south
must not be dependent for it's
prosperity on the negro.
"There is no quack, no
nostrum to be used in solving
this negro problem. 1t can and
will be worked out, but it will be
through time. 1t must be worked
out with infinite patience, with
absolute honesty and fair dealing
and with that steadfast courage
with which southern men have
met every danger with which
they have been confronted.
