people who are at the bottom in the

am anxious to do here is to emphasize
some OF the advantages which if
seems the members of my own race
and particularly those living in the
southern states, have at the present
time, Ii is not difficult to discover
me disadvantages under which the |
Negroes in the South labor. Every

and frequently returns to write books |
about them. There is danger. how
ever. that the opportunities to which !

not fully appreciated by the mem
Oers OF my race until it is too late.
One direction in which the Negro
in the South has an advantage is in
the matter of labor. One of the most
pitliul things | saw in London, Liver
pool, and other English cities were
the groups of idle men standing about
on the street corners, especially
around the bar-rooms, because they
were not able to get work.

SCHOOLS IN THE
SOUTH

| The work being done by the
South for Negro schools is indi-
Gated in the fact that of $1,000
100000 spent upon common
schools in the 10 former slave
States and the District of Col
umbia since 1871 at least $685.
100000 have been spent upon
common schools for Negroes.
In that territory the common
school enrolment increased from
2,Ol3,684 white and 685,o42
Negroes in 1907 to 4,6o2,927
whites and l.65s,7Sl Negroes in
l907-O8.
In 1860 there were in the
public schools of the South 78l,-
100 pupils out of a total of 4,
955,894 in the United States,
and the income OF these public
schools in the South was S4,474,
$40 out of total of $22,54S,5l9
in the United States. The popu-
Iarity of the academy and other
private schools at that time in
the South was one OF the in
tuences against the spread OF
common school idea there in

Some time ago Professor w
E. B. Dubois, of Atlanta Uni
versity, spoke in New York.
He spoke of the FIVE rights
which all men, white or black,
should enjoy.
The first was, he said, "The
right to individuality, and /
mean by this, the right to his
own color, and his own way Of
thinking, and to his own pre-
'judices, so far as these things
do not interfere with other peo-
pies rights to the same thing.
"Second-The right to public
courtesy. This world, from now
on, is going to be a world of
contact of races. 1t is going
to be utterly impossible to sep
arate and isolate men. In the
past, contact meant war, caste
and slavery, but today it must
not and cannot mean these, for
these will cost too much to be
INDUCED in. If, then, this to be
a world of contact, each being in
it has the right of public cour-
tesy; to visit public places
without insul and to travel in
public conveyance unmolested
and to be entertained in public |
hostelries.
"Third-A citizen of the world |
should have the right of oppor-
tunity. We used to say the right
Of education, but this demand
should be broadened to the right
If opportunity; the right to be
educated in his childhood and
hen to have ,he doors OF econo-
mic and political development
brown open to him, according
o his ability. Herein lies the
.nswer Of that great search for
bility which human culture
must make. Hitherto, we have
aid, not that we must have men
+ ability, but that we must be
,nglish, or that they must be
ing to the first families. Now
he Lord, in his great wisdom,
id not conhne the ability to ac-
uire wisdom to any one class y
{ people. but distributed it to
zen OF many races and all de-
rees of color, and this ability
iust be found and honored and
ut in command. regardless OF
rejudice.
