face it resolutely, quietly, justly. It is an American problem in a very con- crete sense, though the genius of south ern leadership must be largely relied upon for it's wise treeatment. Owing to tho rapid subdivision of land going on in rural life in 25 years every southern and western city will face the negro prob lem as an irritating race question, be-
 cause of the presence of large numbers of Africans in their population. Essentially, the negro as an irritating race issue, is a question of the presence of the African and his numerical proportion to the whole population. In a community of 10,000 white inhabitants and A negroes, the question is an academic one sand the doctrnaire and the sentimentalist have a beautiful time with 1t. In a community of 10000 white inhabitants and 1900 negroes. there is less philosophy and more silence. In com- munity of 10000 white inhabitants and 10000 negroes, the policeman supercedes the philosopher in relative importance, and the problem moves along, as best it may, over the rough ways of democracy.
 No amount of prophecy is going to set- tie this question, but 1t is not phophecy but fact to assert that the negro race IS steadily declining in the south, and must continue to decline in relative numbers; that he will remain socially distinct; that he is yet to undergo the fiercest trials that come to backward races striving to forge to the front in old civilization, and that the nature of this ordeal will in- crease the migratory impulse of the negro. Nearly a million negroes now live outside southern limits. In 30 years that num- Der will be increased DO per cent All ready it is the ultimate fate of the negro that is Iii the balance in America, and not the fate of the southern states, as has been pointed out by MT. Philip Bruce
 The remarkable acquisition of land by the negro even if much of it be mort gagged, is creditable to his sagacity, and testimony to the amazing freedom of opportunity accorded him. His opportuni- ties in this direction exceed those of the farmers of England today. It should be held in mind, however, that strength alone can guarantee permanence in his land holdings. Weak men cannot per- manently hold land, or continue to ac- qure land. Land is of the essence in the making of any civilization, and the mere right to acquire it is freeman s privilege. If land holder, in a complex order, is not worthy of his land, society, sooner or later, finds a way to take 1t away from him. The harshest experiences of the black people are yet to be, for the south must come, to treat them as the world now treats them, demanding that they develop, not only manual and in- dustral power, but those moral qualities necessary to win freedom through fierce competition. In no other way can real freedom ever be won by a man or a race. Freedom is a conquest, not bequest. Considerations of national welfare there fore, as we'll as solemn human justice, de-
 mand that such training be given to this African element in American life as will enable it to face it's supreme struggle with hope in it's heart and will safeguard the quality of American citizenship.

 the training of backward race have been established in the south, and a wise direction given to the education of the African element in our body polite, whose training was missing the mark widely ewing to unintelligent zeal for their vel rare on the one hand, and a mingling of resentment and despair on the other.
 6. The ability of this generation to recognize education as something larger than mere learning or even discipline, to preceive 1t as a great force molding rational character, has caused the enlist nlent into this field of work of young men and young women of creative capacity and exalted character, who, un- Ger other conditions in southern history would have instinctively turned to po- litical and social fields for distinction and service.
 T. The tardy appearance of these states in the field of democratic education has given them an opportunity which they will not pass by to avoid many of the educational errors of the more forward American communities. Already one notes in their curricula an nsistenee upon the studies that give emphasis to the duties of men and the glory of service, rather than the rights of man and the splendors of achievement The whole ed ucational cirriculum, reveals the mood of the southern mind in the effort made in it to discipline the will, to understand social and economic causes, and to see the life about it. not as an atom, but as a part of a related whole.
 'S. Finally, it may be said that the south, educationally, has passed from the stage of public opinion-making to one of constructiveness and technique, and the child has become the focus of scientific concern in law and politics. General as- semblies spend one-half of their revenue and two-thirds of their time in the pas- sage of laws touching the welfare of youth.

Just Principles.

win the presidency, because they will incarnate the things the people desire a President for. After a half century of national effacement the south is cool headed enough to know that the regain ing of it's prestige in federal politics will be brought about in no frantic, hysterical way, but by educational influences and profound changes in point of view. When some strong southerner, like Daniel or Cuberson, or Williams. or Hoke Smith. harnesses himself to the idea of tariff reform. or to some potent. just. scien- tific method of establishing sympathetic relations between industrlalism and de- mocracy and drives these ideas into the minds of the American people, no out worn bugaboos can keep such man out of the highest service needed by the country.
 Notwithstanding all these considera- tions, 1t is my belief that this southern detachment from national affairs has been a good and necessary thing for the era just passing, affording to the men of that region freer opportunity to emphasize local self-government to redjscover it, as 1t were, m concrete ways to perceive the identity of things local and political, to set up neighborhood unity and self sacrifice in public affairs as proper ideals of growth to learn, in short, to depend upon themselves. instead of upon federal direction or federal support It is strange happening that, by an absolute reversal of social emphasis, the southern CT should again find himself. not only defending metaphysically his old best loved dogma of local self-government as the very core of democracy, but rerooting 1t in the popular heart as q form of ef- ficient machinery for beautifying and en- riching the state.

ney for Nine. Anna Gould, who is en-

regime" namely, each party to remain
in absolute control Of his or her own
fortune, which in the event OF death
shall not pass to the survivor but to
the heirs of the deceased. After the
marriage the Prince and Princess De
Sagan will reside in France.
Count Boni De Castellane, the di-
IDENTIFY is not yet appraised of the exact
situation as he imagines that Nine.
Gould is still hesitating with regard to
the marriage.
He counts upon the continued oppo-
sition Of George Gould, who he says, is
expected in Paris within fortnight.

HARVARD ATHLETIC CON-
MITTEE FOR WINTER, SPORTS.

Cambridge, Mass, May 25.-At a
meeting of the Harvard Athletic COM
mittee it was voted THAT in the opin-
ion of the athletic committee it is not
advisable to abolish intercollegiate
athletic sports from the date of the
last football game until the opening of
the baseball season. The committee
earlier in the spring voted to eliminate
all winter sports.
Before this action was taken the
committee was in conference with a
committee from the undergraduates.
The student committee presented a
plan for student council, having di-
rect control over all athletics and hav-
ing as members the captains of the
various teams, class presidents, etc.
This plan was given the approval of
the athletic committee, who will have
the plan put before the students.

BROWN AND HOLY CROSS
ON GOOD TERMS AGAIN.

Worcester, May 25.-Brown and Holy
Cross after two years have made up
and will now be good athletic friends.
Their differences have all been settled
and all athletic relations will be re-
sumed next year, though there is a
possibility that there will be a ball
game here this season with Brown.
The Brown people approached Grad
uate Manager George E. Morris, ask
ing for a game with Holy Cross. Nor
ris said there was no reason III the
world why they should not play,
though Brown couldn't have Patriots
day date and would have to agree TO
give Holy Cross a football date.
Brown thought it over and the an
nouncement comes that athletic rela-
tons with the Providence institution
will be resumed in football and base
ball next year.
