TEACHERS TAKE UP
NEGRO PROBLEM
Governor Hoke Smith Gives His
Views On The Negro
EDUCATION FOR FARMERS
President Clarence J. Owens of the
Alabama Agricultural College Speaks
on Branches Taught In Second
airy Agricultural Schools.

Atlanta. December S0.-This was a
day given over to discussion of the
educational requirements of the negro,
and to serious consideration of the
best methods to be pursued in training
the youth of that race, by the South
ern Educational association in its 18th
annual session here. A sympathetic in
terest in the upbuilding of the negro
race was manifested by the speakers,
and while all did not agree as to the
methods to be pursued, it was agreed
that the question of educating the ne
gro. well as the so-ca1led negro
question" in its entirety, best be left
to the southern people, and it was
urged that the people of the south
should give to these matters Serious,
patient and logical efforts
Tomorrow's sessions will bring the
convention to close.
THE first step toward the develop
ment of the negro is the elimination
of friction between the white man and
the negro. The Negroes character and
capacity must be built by his white
hels ipors' anu WHITE employers. me
negro universities are alright, per-
haps, but We must not forget how few
negroes ever get inside these colleges.
These schools just touch the super
fetal edges of the problem. The real
problem is among the Masses" thus
spoke Governor Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia today when called upon to adj
dress the Southern Educational asso-
citation. Continuing, he said:

Address of Mr.. Owens.

Mr.. Owens said in part
1T is a matter of special qualification
that Alabama and Georgia are the only
states in the United States which have as
a part of their educational system branch
agricultural schools and experiment sta
items for each congressional district. Ala
hama Is the pioneer state in secondary
agricultural education in the United
States OF the 40. agricultural schools in
the United States, twelve are In Georgia
and nine in Alabama. The nine Alabama
schools have plants aggregating in value
a quarter of a million dollars, with APP
prozimately $50 acres of land. Since their
organization the schools have graduated
COL The enrolment for the past year
was nearly 1900 and the graduates for the
year Sc.
These schools turn out young men we'll
grounded in the underlying principles of
scientific and practical agriculture that
they may make, successful planters and
advance the farming interests of their re-
spective states. They give such instruc-
lions and training as will fix upon the
minds of the young men high ideals of
practical country life education
Preparations for Teaching.
"They educate and fully equip young
men and women for efficient teaching in
the public schools. They prepare those
leges and higher Institutions. They give
to all a thorough and practical educa-
ton, and install within them broad and
CT rect idea of true American citizen
ship"
What is now being done in the sec
ondary agricultural schools Of the south,
with all their imperfections, Is tremen-
dously important principles of action are
being determined Every successful eX-
ample of the effective teaching of agri-
culture in the high schools, is helping to
Indicate along what line the future growth
of this movement must proceed. There
Is. therefore, much cause Tor congratu
lation that in so many states and under
such a variety of conditions, honest and
substantial efforts are being made TO
solve the problems and test the useful
nc as of agricultural instruction as a means
of improving country life and perpetual
ing agricultural prosperity.
TT is claimed that nine-tenths of the
III pulation of the southern states is rural
and agricultural, The problem in the edu-
cutional life in the southern states is to
reach the children who live on the farms.
1--WE must give to the world the fact
that our southland has led In this great
movement of secondary and industrial and
agricultural education"

Real Problem.


dress the Southern Educational asso-
citation. Continuing, he said:
Real Problem.
1.-THE real educational problem of tn e
negro is to teach him to do well that
which he has to do. 1 do not believe
in prejudice and hatred, but I resent
any denunciation of race prejudice,
which denunciation really aims to OBJ =
literate the lines of distinction between
the white and negro races.
THE great bulk of the negro race is
engaged in the humber walks of life,
and in humber lines of labor The
real problem is to teach them to do
that work well, to do 1t thoroughly and
then later we can teach them to do
something better We are not trying
to suppress the race, we are trying to
see the truth and to really help them,
the negroes.
at is the southern mans burden and
the south fern woman's burden. The real
problem is ours We know the negro
better than anybody else"
The governors utterances were ap-
plauded.
At the night session of the conven-
l..
C. B. Gibson of the schools of Column
bus, Ca on THE Recent Tendencies
Toward Industrial Education in Europe
and America" Industrial schools OF
America and Europe were dealt with
at length and of the industrial schools
in the south, he said:
ut is an interesting fact that the
pioneer institutions of America giving
specialized industrial training are
located in the south and have been gen
erously maintained for the education
of negro young men and women. These
are the excellent schools of Hampton
and Tuskegee."
Secondary Agricultural Education in
the Southern States" was the subject
