in the education of the negro race.
1--WE must not. content ourselves with
talking about what the white man does
not do for us, but we must talk to
him about the ways in which he can
help make the schools in Alabama bet
ter.
1.-THE negro woman or the negro girl
who works for most of the white FAM
lilies of Alabama cooks their food and
serves their food; the negro woman
or the negro girl nurses the white
mans children; she launders his
clothes; she cleans his bed room and his
sitting room and his parlor. 1t is
Just as much to the interest OF the
white race then that the negro girl
or the negro woman who comes in
touch with the white race every day
in these vital points should be clean,
should be skillful, and should be high
ly moral as 1t il to the interest o.
the negro race that she should be
properly educated In these directions.
For all time black and white people
are going to live in Alabama together

Work About schoolhouse


81 am sure that it will pay three
fourths of the teachers who are hero
gathered to dismiss their schools for
a week after their return home, go
far as the old style of teaching is
concerned, and let teachers and pu-
pills occupy themselves in cleaning and
identifying the inside of the sch DOL
room, in whitewashing or painting the
outside of the school room, in putting
the palings on the brolcen-down fence,
In putting new hinges on the gate, IN
cleaning up all the trash and rub
bish around the school house, in plant
ing some flowers and vines and veg
etables near the school house. 1t will
pay them to occupy a week in putting
in the old broken window panes, in
making the desks and tables in the
school room attractive and decent, in
teaching the boys and girls how to keep
themselves clean, to clean their teeth,
to properly patch and darn their stock
ings.
This is ideal education. We must get
rid once and for all of the old idea
that the boy or girl can only get ed
ucation within the four walls of the
stilted school house. Eeducation can
be gotten anywhere at any time re-
gardless OF ones surroundings.
Just in proportion as we can con-
vince the white man In Alabama that
our education is going to mean some
thing, Is going to make us more useful
to our race, to his race, on the farm.

In Alabama; still greater Improvement
can be made, and 1 think will be made
In the near future. The negro child
cannot fit himself properly for the du-
ties of life when he. is In school only
four months out of the twelve months
and has spent upon him for his ed
ucation as is true In this state at the
present time about S1.7S per child. The
negro child cannot learn as much off
of s1.7S as the white child can off
of 1884, and those who think that
the negro child can get as much edu-

can out of s15.S4 pays too high a COM

Education In Common Things

1--WE want to see to 1t that educa-
tion is made to concern itself with
the common, ordinary things of life and
not with the extraordinary things OF
life.
II will guarantee to say that the
average negro child in Alabama hears
more about the city of Pekin in China
or the desert of Sahara in Africa than
that child does about the kind of pigs
or the kind of cows or the KIND d
vegetables that will best grow in the
community where that child is. 1 have
seen many negro girls who have learned
in the school how to locate success

NEGROES HONOR

Saws the Negro and White Races OF
Alabama Are Living in Better
Harmony Than Anywhere
Elise Earth
HE GIVES GOOD ADVICE

The negroes of Alabama honored the
foremost member of their race, DR.. BOOK
er T. Washington of Tuskegee institute,
last night at the Jefferson theatre. Fully
9ooo people were in the theatre; 900 OF
them were well-known white people, sew
eral hundred people were unable to get
inside the building.
Prof. J. r. E. Lee presided and Ut.
Washington was introduced by Frolessoi
Patterson, principal of the state NUT
mai School for Negroes at Montgomery
The address was full of good advice ana
race patriotism.
aT wish to congratulate the negro teach
ers of Alabama upon having present mere
in the city of Birmingham at TINS an
nual meeting the largest number OF teacn-
ers of the children of our race that mas
ever been gathered in one meeting IN
our state I question whether there is
any other state in the south that mas
an organization of this character that Is
so largely composed of teachers VINO are
so much interested in their work and
who are so determined to see to it that
everything in their power is done to fur
Their the education of the negro boys and
girls of Alabama.
1.-THE negroes of Alabama have some
special reasons for gratitude. In our
state the relations between the black peo-
pie and white people are friendly. II Is
very seldom that we have racial conflicts
and racial outbreaks of the character
that so often disgrace and hurt both
races in our country. In Alabama both
black people and white people understand
each other and are determined to i've
together in peace and in friendship. 1t
is often said that the southern white
man understands the negro better than
anybody else. While l will not question
MOI dispute this statement, 1 wish to
add also that the southern negro UNI
derstands the southern white man better
than ANYBODY else Despite what sensa-
tional newspapers may say, and despite
what political demagogues may express,
when one goes into the local communities
of Alabama he finds that the relations
existing between the Individual negro
and the INDIVIDUAL white man are closer
than they a.e in any other portion OF
America or in any other part OF the
world outside of America that I have
seen. When we get into the local COM
munity we will find that every negro
has his white friend and every white
man has his negro friend. When the
negro gets into trouble he usually goes
straight to his white friend and usually
gets what he wants. Wherever In Ala
bama you find the negro working at
trade, owning a store, conducting drug
establishment or a bank you Will ma
an individual southern white man or d
group of southern white men VINO are
ready to encourage, guide ana assist
these colored people in their business en-
terprise.
