THE NEGRO IN AMERICA
TRAINED AND UNFRAMED
The Most PerpIexIng Problem Ever
Confronted by the American
People Yet UnSOIved.
By ]. P. Gage.

The negro in America, trained and
unframed, forms the most veNing and
Iperplexing problem with which the
American people have ever been con-
fronted; the solution Of which so much
has been said and written within the
past decade; the unframed being so
largely in the majority that the trained
can hardly be said to enter into the
Il gtconsideration of the question i'll the
eHort to arrive at a cOk--c+ anI @e~t;r-.- -
factory solution. Perhaps the best, and
possibly the most desirable. is that
suggested by Mr. Graves, editor of The
4 Atlanta Georgian, in his editorial con-
cerning the recent race riot in Allan
ia: "A separation of the two races"
If, however; this be impracticable, and
it would seem to be SO under present
conditions, then the remedy suggested,
ably advocated and sustained by DR..
Robert Bennett Bean in his two trea-
tises, namely, The Negroes Brain in
September Century magazine, and
THE Training OF the Negro, in Octo-
Der Century magazine DR.. Bean says
that heretofore the race question in
