''It was but yesterday that we

per cent. of our illiteracy has been

veloped and become a substantial

picion upon his white neighbor,
who has been struggling with life
and death for forty years to make
this southland what it is.

London, Sept. 3.-Booker T.
Washington has gone to Skibo
Castle this week to visit Andrew
Carnegie. A few days later he will
make tour of Europe. MIR.
W Washington expects to be back in
London on October 6, when he is
to address the National Liberal
Club on "The Negro as an Eco
nomic Problem"
Mr.. Washington is a great adj
mirer of John Burns, although he
said that it would take 100 John
Burnses to remore the poverty ex-
isting in London.
In an article in The Evening
News the writer declares that Mr.
Washington has already formed a
broad opinion of Englishmen.
Generally that opinion is favorable
with some qualifications rather
naively expressed. In 1899 he
greatly admired "the ease and
thorough with which everything
is done" here, even observing that
Englismen take plenty of time
over eating" Yet he was not
sure that Englishmen do not ac-
complish as much, or even more,
than rushing, nervous Americans.
1T was hard, = he said in another
"for me to get accustomed to speak
ing to English audiences. The
average Englisman is SO serious,
and is SO tremendously in earnest
about everything that when l told
a story that would have made an
American audience roar with
laughter the Englishmen simply
looked me straight in the face
without even cracking a smile"
Evidently, says The Evening
News writer, Mr.. Washington has
not grasped the strangely local

Rev. William S. Holder, well
known to New Workers, has return
ed to the United States after
spending twelve months in Ber-
muda where he worked as teacher
and a preacher. While in Bermu-
da he answered the requirements
of the Institute of Commerce, Biz
mingham, England, and upon his
return to the States received the
degree "F. G. l." In view of his
having been registered at the
Phonetic Institute, Bath, England
as a teacher of Commercial SUBJ
jects for nearly twelve years, the
degree "P. G. T." was also con-
ferred on him by Sir Isaac Pit

degrees of which this young divine
is very proud are not honorary
ones, but meritorious degrees,
each carrying with it examinations

The only cities contesting for the
building besides Dallas were Waco

las offered $4,000, counting a lot
with a market value of $4,000.

EDUCAIIOMOF.
THE NEGRO
.Negro Education and Its Relation to the Problems of the
South" the Subject of the Address delivered by Rev.
R. D. Stinson ce-president of Morris Brown College

the millions of colored people who
are now living in the south to aid
them in making choice of the pur-
est, the most intelligent, as well as
the most upright and sober of their
people for leaders. The schools of
our people have everything to do
with whether they viii be good or
bad. Whether they will cherish a
sweetness of disposition to their
neighbors where they live.
"We have had but few years Of
preparation, and many Of those
years were but imitation, and had
we abundant opportunity we could
have done but comparatively little,
owing to poverty and 250 years of
inability, in which we were not able
to read or write or think for our
selves. We are just now to the
place where we can begin to seri-
ously take under advisement what
it costs and the time that has been
required to lay the foundation for
child race. The controlling, self
respecting, educated southern white
man owes it to himself and to the
country to see that our people are
permitted to make the most of
themselves, morally, intellectually
and economically. 1 am glad to
say to you here, now, that there
are those in every community In
this southland who want to see the
Negro make the most of himself
and of his opportunities, and when
ever we show the right spirit, hav-
ing comprehended the conditions
round about us, no good thing that
is essential to our highest and best
welfare will be withheld from us.
"The Negro must watch his lead
ers who, are not upright, who are
not only ignorant, but who are po-
litical in their methods. They are
only required to lead when the best
interests of the two races are held
up to ridicule, Encouragement and
scorn. There are those among us
who are constantly urging dis
couragements and picking out the
irregularities and pointing with
suspicion when white people and
Negroes of the south seek to create
friendly relations. The Negro IN
the southern states, if facts and
figures are to be recognized, has
made far greater progress than his
brother across the Ohio line, and
the Negroes future in the south IS
most promising, if his leaders and
the school house can come into pos
session of the real facts. Think OF

The Colorado statesman., 1910-09-17

The Negro educator Salu III part :
Zone of the questions before the
American people is its colored con-
stituency and how, if at all, the Ne
gro should be trained, and is it
Zorth while? Will he, in spirit,
character and economic efficiency,
measure up and stick as citizen in
the broadest sense of the term? !?
This very question deserves serious
consideration, and the Negro can
do more to properly impress the
people of the country, as an lndl-
vidual, or as a race, than anybody
else. AS little as may be thought,
it is serious problem. On this
wise, if he is taken into the sympa-
thv. business and economic life OF
the communities in which he lives,
when he is put on his feet, will he
become selfish, sour and migrate
full? Will he attempt to retallate
and become a croaker? 1t Is not
sufficient that he will judge the fu-
ture by the past, for he has been
the product of slavery, and that in
stitution sent forth pupils OF that
time and character. Besides, the
Negro has been ignorant and even
when he had book knowledge, as
now. he has been a theorist rather
than a sober, tactful, common-sense
dispenser of the things which he
had acquired through books.
"That there is a large class OF
Negroes in this country that are
honest and that would do the right
and that have added much to them
selves and the communities where
they lived goes without question.
AS to what would be the attitude
of the Negro of this country and
his white neighbor largely depends
upon the teaching he will receive
in the school house, church and IN
the home and from the Negro press.
"Ninety per cent. of the Negro
people of the south should be train
ed with an eye single to de-
yeloping a common-sense character,
the value of honest, hard work, the
benefit of paying taxes on some
thing in his own right. No one
sho,,ld know this fact more defin-
itely and more determlnedly than
the Negro preacher, teacher, ana
all of that class that pose as the
leaders and hope to see HIM 90
we'll. No member of the race IS MT
to lead so infant and youthful d
race who himself has not the best
basis for a character, and is an up
right and good common-sense clti-
zen.

ed the solid Negro vote. The Ne
gro has done his duty at the polls,
now we trust the Republican del
egates in our Constitutional con-
yention will not hesitate to frame
a constitution that will for ever
prevent any Legislatures in our
State from legislating against any
American citizen, as to Interfere
with his civil or political right.
The trainers of our constitution
have this right and will they have
the courage to exercise their power.
