If more Of our people could make
their way back to the land, get out in
to the open, where pure air is to be
had twenty-four hours every day, the
change would work wonders. There
are reasons why Negroes flock to cit
les. They are better protected and
better opportunities are offered for
the education Of their children. They
are brought closer to their kind than
on farms surrounded for the most
part by the other race.
But in answering the cry of human
nature for contact and sympathy the
Negro has sacrificed his health; he
has gotten too far from the environ
ments of his father and his fathers
father. The change from outdoor to
indoor life was too sudden and q high
death rate is the result.
The situation is grave, the peril is
more imminent than the Iayman
thinks, and because the fulf1llment of
the prediction made shortly after en-
ancipation that the Negroes would
soon gallop into their graves has not
yet been realized, he should not be
