CStI UtHtoo " -'cWoi(oBc'"' o.

paper to race progress was dis
cussed by Ocea Taylor, editor OF
the Washington American, and L.
Thomas Fortune, for thiry years
editor of the New York Age, and
at present associate editor of the
Philadelphia Tribune. Mr.. Taylor
pointed out clearly that the Negro
papers had kept alive the spirit OF
loyalty and union among the col
ored people themselves, emphasized
the progress and achievements OF
the race. and promoted the work of
religion and fraternal organiza-
tions.

lam P. Burrell, one of the officers

izations. He said that of the two
hundred Negro fraternal organiza-
tions of the South thirty-seven
were to be found in Virginia. The
membership of the Virginia asso-
Citations last year was three million,
the income four million dollars,
and there were outstanding con-
tracts of one hundred million dol
lars.
DR.. Masten, head of the Charities
Organization of Richmond, urged
the formation of a Children s
Home Society, similar to one now
operated for the whites of Virginia,
and declared that there are at pres
ent sixty Negro children in Vlr-
ginia almshouses, and ninety-eight
Negro children in Virginia Jails.
He showed that confirmed GRIM
inals were, produced by having
young culprits brought into police
courts and sent to Jail.

tions made by the conference were

Mr.. Isaac Fisher, discussing the
subject "Untrodden Paths" in the
July A. M. E. Review, says: 81
believe the time is ripe for Negro
investigation and thought to ac-
complish creative work in fields Of
human endeavor whose harvest
shall be for the good of humanity" F"
Mr.. Fisher strikes vital chord in
his suggestion. Negroes are not
as paintaking along creative and
constructive lines as is necessary
to build a strong people.

Hampton, Va, July IA sur
yev of the fourteenth annual
meeting of the Hampton Negro
conference, held at Hampton lnstl-
Stute yesterday and today, shows
that its object was not mainly that
of laying undue stress upon money
making schemes, land-getting and
holding. and mere material or eco
nomic property. Its object was
to give to race-workers and the
friends of Negro advancement
through self-control, service and
industry, the benefit OF the expe-
riences of those who have made
homes. schools and communities
better and more attractive.
DR.. Hollis B. Frissell, the prin-

Negro leaders to get together and
solve their common problems.

state supervisor of colored schools

tunity to improve themselves and
suggest that to this end they Or
ganize teachers Institutes in every
county-and we ask of public
schools authorities and private
schools every assistance they may
give in aiding teachers to better
training of themselves for their I'M
portant work
We recommend that our schools
bring their work to bear practical
ly upon their immediate surround
ings. and that they do their liter
ary work with no less thoroughness
than the practical or industrial
work.
We urge that school teachers,
ministers. and other individuals
feel it incumbent upon themselves
to assist in every way in dissemin-
ating agricultural information
among the country people that
they may learn to improve their
economic condition by producing
better crops, improved live stock,
by enriching their soils, and by
beautifying their homes.
Believing in the ultimate result
of cooperation by all the different
agencies in the State towards the
uplift of the Negro race and the
betterment Of each community, we
urge that efforts be put forth to
bring together all these forces
educational and otherwise. We
would not forget, further, to urge
most earnestly the cooperation OF
the churches in providing whole
some and uplifting amusements,
tending not only to furnish health
full and harmless recreation, but
providing safeguard against the
vicious tendencies in many of the
worldly and unrestricted amuse-
ments surrounding our people on
every hand.
We wish to guard the race
against the usurious money lend
er. the insurance frauds, whether
black or white, the installment
dealers, and grasping, dishonest
landlords, and urge upon the lead
ers of the race, particularly the
ministers who enter into such IN
innate relations with the great
masses, to keep these matters con-
stantly before the people. We re-
gret enactment of class legislation
which has destroyed the civil and
political rights of the Negro peo-
pie and earnestly pray that we
shall have relief by the education
of public opinion against the in
Justice done us by such class legls-
lation.
We heartily commend the results
of the work of the local Anti-tu-
berculosis League organized under
the auspices of the Hampton Ne
gro Conference of 1909. We urge
the collection of data which to be
of value, must be absolutely accur-
ate concerning the mortality result
ing from this disease; and also the
preparation of simple instructions
looking to the prevention as well
as to the treatment and cure of tu-
berculosis.
