BEST WAY TO ELEVATE.

The third annual meeting Of the

which will be held at st. Paul, July
1919, bids fair to be more success.
full than either Of the former two.
The earnest effort of the leaders In
the movement to get away from pro.
fessional negroism" and to elevate
the race as a whole by raising intel
lectual and moral standards is meet
ing with an increasing degree of
sympathy on the part of all real
friends Of the race and of human
PROGRESSES in the abstract. Entirely
too much Is heard of the negro as a
race and too little of him as a citi.
zen who is an integral part of our
social and economic system, who can
not be kept in ignorance without
detriment to the whole people, who
cannot become immoral without
creating social plague spots and who
cannot above all things, be the vic
tim Of injustice and injury without
corresponding and reflected harm on
American institutions.
Especially during exciting political
campaigns a great deal is heard of
the negro as voter, and q great
many foolish blacks lay entirely too
much stress on the Jack Johnsons of
their race. The farther the race can
get away from the negro politicians,
:nd particularly from the negro prize
fighters, and the nearer. 1t can get
to the best representatives of the
negro as a citizen, the better 1t will
be for all concerned.
The objects of the Negro National
Educational Congress are closely
nected with these principles and for
that reason the movement has re-
ceived the support of the governors
Of most OF the Northern states and of
country. Education is the very key
note Of citizenship, and citizenship
Is the key to the solution. of most Of
the vexing problems of our national
life. The young man or young wo-
man, no matter of what race or col
or, who is honestly ambitious to get
an education Is on the upward road
and can rise superior to most of
the obstacles to advancement. Doors
may be barred to some that are OPP
ened to others, but in the long run
the world respects and sympathizes
with those who make an honest and
earnest effort to better their con-
dition.-The Kansas City Journal,

Encyclopedia. 80

Encyclopedia. 80 .
The Negro Year Book, which has
just been published under the au-
spices Of Tuskegee Institute, Is the
result of systematic attempt to sup
ply the growing demand from all
parts of the United States and many
portions of the Old World for &C
curate and concise information in re-
gard to the history, progress and
present status of the Negro Roce. 1t
is based to a large extent on the in
quiries that have come to the In
stitute and have been turned over for
reply to the Department of Research
of which Monroe N. Work, the author
of this work, is the head.
Among the subjects treated in the
work are: "A Review of the Negro
in 1911" 1.-THE Economic Progress Of
the Negro" "The Negro In the ReIis-
ious Field" Negro Education" me
gro Soldiers and Heroes" "a chro-
biological History of the Negro In
America" 1t contains directories of
Negro Banks, Negro Towns, Business
Leagues, Hospitals, Newspapers, and
National and Fraternal Organiza-
tions. There are also carefully clas-
sified lists of books and articles relat-
ing to the Negro.
The Year Book which Is bound in
paper has 229 pages. The informa-
ton is arranged in a concise, sys-
tematic form so as to make it easy
of reference. The book Is not pub
lished as a business venture although
it may be so later, provided it finds
a sufficient number of readers. In
order to determine whether there Is
sufficient demand for the Year Book
to warrant it's continued publication
in succeeding years a price of 25c
has been placed upon it, postage &c.
A considerable reduction will be made
to persons desiring ten copies or
more. WRITE TODAY. ADDRESS,

YACHTsMEN REST AFTER STRENUOUS TRIP.
SCHOONER SEAFARER MUCH ELED SHIP

Life on the ocean wave is all right
in its way, but after two strenuous
weeks on the briny, dry land looks
pretty good, and feels pretty good, to
the transpacific racers,
AS soon as the belated Natt0se ar
riyes. a regular round of gaieties will
commence. There will probably be
q dance at the Moana hotel for the
yachtsmen and their friends, and an
auto trip around the island for the
visitors.
Judge Henry E. Cooper. president
of the Hawaii Yacht Club, plans to
give a luan at his Pearl Harbor place,
which. promises to be one of the finest
entertainments in its line ever given.
II will be brand new to most of the
visitors, and as such should prove a
great attraction.
The Seafarer, the largest of the
four yachts that took part in the
transpacific race, although only lit
tie more than two years old, has done
more cruising, and covered more leag-
ues Of ocean than 5 usually register
by a pleasure craft from the time her
keel is laid until she is put in the
junk pile. Already she has been once
round the world. and by the time sue
has returned to the Coast from Homo
lulu, the trim black schooner will
have added another 5000 miles to her
total;
The Seatarer, while built on semi
racing lines. is intended primarily fol
cruising, and her owner Captain Nor
ris, and Mrs Norris have made a
floating home of her for some time.
Mrs. Norris is as seasoned a sailor
as her husband, and thoroughly en-
joyed the run down.

ris to find the Lurline securely berth
ed, and her crew already carrying
