ULTIMATE oUTGRoWTH OF THE RACE.
e G. Cooper, President of the lnsti-
tute was asked few days ago OF his
opinion concerning the future place
for the negro in the United States.
The information desired was: Whether
or not the people of dark skin would
remain in America and prosper among
she other races, whether certain diyl-
sions of land would be set apart from
the other races for their habitation, or
whether they will all return to Africa,
the home of their birth?
NEGRO WILL REMAIN IN THE UNITED
STATES.
1.-THE following is an extract from
MIR. Cooper's answer: The problem
that the race could not live and devel-
op among the other Americanized
races has already long since been
solved, in the fact that the race has
SO lived for one and half generations
and in which time it has doubled
its numbers. Further t han this,
numerous persons OF the race
have became inspired into a gen
tlemanly and a womanly life, acquired
education and through thrift and
economy, hundreds and thousands
have acqui .ed homes and other worthy
and tangible objects of wealth. In
the opinions of some Of us. land l
think these opinions are we'll fcuraed)
the gro has no more urgent oblga-
tions calling him back to 4Africa, than
the Ilishman has calling him to Ire
land tan the Italian has calling him
to Italy; than the japanese or the
Chinese has calling him to the home
of his birth. The fact is this. The
c0lOred man as an ex-slave and as
toiier in this country for hundreds of
years has as much right to develop
here as any of the peoples named.
The sooner our whole country grasps
this fact, the better it will be.
BROAD FIELD FOR NEGRO HERE.
