New Haven. Conn. Nov. En- saying
a good word for the colored race in the
United States Rev. Or. Lyman Abbott, Of
New York tonight in his Dodge lecture
at Yale made the following comment:
I'VE have in America some eight or ten
milllops of Africans. The African race
may not inaptly be called a race INF its
childhood. II has haa less than fifty
years OF education-since lis emancipation
from slavery. against over a thousand
years of education since the time of Al
fred the Great which the Anglo-Saxon
people have enjoyed II is no disrespect
therefore, to the African race 60 say that
measured IN. centuries as race life must
be measured, that the race is still in its
childhood.
THE experience OF the world has shown
that intermarriase Of an advanced and q
backward race works serious disadvan-
tages to the one, and probably no advan-
tage to the other.
Race Problem stated.
Our race problem then may be stated
Ia sentence thus;
s Democracy has learned how men Of
different religious faiths may live
peaceably together. each remaining
loyal to its faith. and retaining that
faith unimpaired: IL has yet TO learn
how two dissimilar races may live
peaceably together and preserve the
purity OF the races unimpaired.
we cannot exterminate the African
race as the Israelites are supposed TO
have exterminated the Canaanites. nor
can we expel them from the country.
nor would we do so If we could. They
are necessary to the Industrial welfare
of at least a quarter Of the American
territory We cannot hold them in
servitude: we have tried the costly ex-
pertinent. and il has failed. We cannot
intermarry with them and create a new
and mOngrel race"
Dangers 10 Women.
DR.. Abbott spoke at length on dangers
70 which women are subjected. He con-
tihued
Hitherto in most civilized commune
ties women have been the protected and
men have been the protectors. So long
as this continues TO be the case, II is our
sacred duty TO see that women are pro-
tected. and especially from two dangers
which threaten them-the greed and the
passions of men. The greed drives them
from the home 10 the factory. In some
cases. il NrObs the home of their indis-
pensable service and increases the death
rate Of the infant children by depriving
them Of motherhood.
In other eases. 10 adds 10 their imper-
fectly PERFORMED home services as many
hours Of toll in the factory as the man
performs who has not such hours OF
home service. In either case IL is a gross
injustice 20 woman and an unmeasured
peril TO the home and TO the country.
white Shave Traffic.
Greater peril comes TO woman from
the passion of men. which sometimes en-
tees and sometimes drives her into a
life of shame. The cruelty of the So
called white-slave traffic surpasses belief,
but has been proved by official investi-
cation and indisputable evidence We
ought 10 make America such a country
that women could walk unattended in
the streets OF great city at all hours OF
the night in perfect safety
In discussing infant mortality, DR.. Alb
bolt told his audience that here are over
I7.000000 children enrolled in the schools
of the United States.
