 '"rhe transportation theory for the solution of the negro problem by the deportation of the race was then shown to be without historical precedent this plan to transport i1,o0o,000 people and without practical basis. There Is no spot on the globe today where such multitude could be sent. and the task of transporting the children born in single year would tax the re- sources of even our modern facilities. There Is nowhere to send them, nobody that wants these people, no means for sending them, and added to all this Is the fact that the South does not want to get rid of her great labor supply. So long as agents who attempt to take negroes from one State to another are indicted by Southern people for inter- fering with their labor market, though their efforts affect only handful Of the negro population, so long may It be said with confidence that any effort to carry away the race would be mot with an opposition that could not Do resisted"
 The speaker then referred to the fact that many people think the problem will be solved by the extermtnation or the race. The fallacy of this argument was vigorously exposed NO such crime has even been perpetrated in his- tory, not even In bloody Russia or TUT key, and no man who knows the south ern people could believe for a. moment that they would be guilty of staining their hands under any provocation With the blood of millions.

When this crime against impurity of race Is con- demned as it should be by an awakened social instinct the peril of amalgama- tion of any large portion of the negro race so far as present indications go has been eliminated.
 s"Many say that the negro is incapa- ble of improvement. This is fallacy that will not stand the sunshine or
 
 meats never show any familiarity with the facts of the situation. It is not the Judgment of the South, which has spent over thirty-five million dollars on the education of this race. Much Of thfs money has been misspent-much of me- gro education has been worse than a failure, but this may be said of much of the education of the white chill dren. The right sort of education, where the negro is taught under the direction of men who understand him and his needs, who have less peda- sogica1 theories and more of practical common sense has given handsome re- turns" The speaker cited as an illus tration the State Normal School for Negroes at Montgomery. where there are more than thousand negroes un- der the direction of Board of Eau cation composed of Southern white men, with the Governor of the State at its head, and under the charge of president. who is himself white
