Durham. N. C.-This city is again
an animated scene occasioned by the
fourth annual summer school and Chau-
tauqua of the National Religious
Training school. AS a great tobacco
center Durham is known throughout
the country. Among Afro Americans
1t is especially known because of one
of the greatest economic movements
among them having been successfully
launched here-one of the most sue
cessful movements among our people
anywhere In this country.
The North Carolina Mutual and
Provident association is synonym
for hustle and ability to create ami
mating ideals. Not alone have these
two concerns made Durham the cynO-
sure of the world, but an educational
center. Although of a few years ex-
istence. they have created kind Of
individualisri in educational circles
that cannot be defined by short
phrase II has met a peculiar need
among the rAasses in this section.
These institutions have combated and
have triumphed In the fight for ideals
which will never die rs long as there
are men of the type of their founders.
These institutions represent the birth
of an idea for the development of our
people that cannot be discountenanced.
A conception that has been employed
by many-that a certain phase of edu-
development of the race - has, in
measure. been discounted to quite
degree by this movement
The National Religious Training
school has certainly caused n deep
awakening of race consciousness
