the American Negro, was the central
figure in the last weeks program of
the National Religious Training
School and Chautauqua here. DR.. Du

The History OF Education" and the
other two on The History Of the Ne
gro"
His frat lecture on THE History
OF the Negro" dealt with the record
on Negroes i'm Egypt and In central
and Northern Africa. which brought
his narrative 90 the beginning of AZ
riCan slavery trade.
In his second address. Dr. Du Bois
stated that the Negroes of today
should consider &c a privilege 20 help
in the solution of the Negro problem
as one OF the worlds great move
ments and not as having TO do with
something unpleasant. He called at
teution 90 the fact that the majority
of the people OF the world were col

must necessarily be a BELIEF in the
colored man. In the course of his re
marks. Or. Du Bois said; Back of
slavery and the slave trade, lay of
course several excuses. The FIRST eN-
cuse was that slavery gave an excuse
for the conversion OF the heather.
But what was 20 be done. when the
converted slaves wanted 90 enter the
Christian church? The old English
law said that no Christian could be-
held "a slave. That took the excuse
for slavery away, but another was
soon found.

THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE

just as soon as one evil goes on
unattended 20. with the hope that
il will settle itself, another one viii
rise up in its place. Problems like
slavery, that were four hundred
years in the making. do not settle
themselves. There came the attempt
20 establish a feudal system with
black and white serfs at the bo lom.
The rise of the cotton industry spoil
ed that, and placed slavery on an
economic basis. and consequently
beyond the pale of criticism.
Then came certain hindrances.
The history of the United States
from the Missouri Compromise 60
the Civil War is the attempt of the
slave states 20 get more land for
the cultivation of cotton and the eX-
tension OF slavery. They were mp
against the proposition Of more land.
They ran against the moral con
science of the nation; slave property
became unsafe. because OF the un-
derground railway and this moral
sense, for slaves could run away to
the Northern states and to Canada.
Finally slavery was overthrown.
