PHELPS-SToKES LECTURES.
Optimism the ksynots Of Series De-
Iivered at Southern College

Optimism the ksynote OF Series De-
IiVsred at Southern College
By W. ANTHONY AERY.
Richmond. Va.-SIgni1cant at this
date. when current journals say so
much OF the 6ftieth anniversary Of
the emancipation proclamation, are the
four Phelps-Stokes lectures on the
Negro problem. which were delivered
during January and February at the
University Of Virginia under the
Phelps-StOkes foundation. This is the
first time such a series OF lectures has
ever been given in a southern univer-
sity, a fact Indicative OF the growing
consciousness in this section that this
problem may be partially solved by
scientific and sympathetic investiga-
ton.
According to DR.. James II. billiard OF
the Jeanes foundation. who opened the
series with a-discussiOn OF Race Ad-
justment In the South" the majority
of white southerners have for the last
City years exercised a sort Of benevO-
lent tolerance IN their dealings with
the race question. They have worked
amIcably with their cOlOrd neighbors
and have helped them. but they have
never looked upon their economic. civil
or intellectual position as a matter OF
study.
That the matter IS worthy Of study
has been vividly demonstrated by DR..
W. d. weatherford In his two books,
ssNegro Life In the South" and Pres
ept Forces In Negro Progress" de
signed primarily for the use OF south
ern college men and extensively read In
the college Y. VI. c. A. mission study
groups. The tardy realization. which
DR.. weatherford has helped TO bring
about that the condition OF the race Is
Of vital importance Is blazing a trai
for such a recognition OF the problem
as the Phelps-Stokes lectures Indicate.
In suggesting remedies for the In
competency OF Negro education and
religion-two important phases OF th'
probIem-Dr. billiard said that '.Justc'
demands a larger appropriation TO In
crease the efficiency OF the pubh'
schools by the Introduction OF home In
dustries and by relating them to tn
life Of the people" and that'the charaC
ter Of much Of the preaching by tn
colored clergy should be changed .

months. writing about the third insu-
lar fair, held here Feb. - TO March 2
says: :,
.SWhile the agricultural. educational
and sanitary exhibits were remarkable
as a revelation Of the marvellous rich
ness of the natural resources OF the
island and the rapid growth both ma
teriaIly and mentally under American
guidance and stimulus. the most str1k-
inc feature to my mind was the ex-
hibit of the public school at Juncos'
town in the district OF Guyana, cred
tied by the census OF 1910 with little
over 1000 population.
This exhibit took the shape OF a
model cottage OF four rooms. built to a
scaIe of half the normal size. and part
" furnished. all the handiwork OF the
nupils. There were steps leading to
the front porch. and stopping one could
enter the doorway TO the front room
which contained table. chairs and
hook case. To the side was bedroom
with the bed. and in the rear dining
room and kitchen. Miniature plumb
ing fixtures had been installed TO
gether with water supply and electric
lighting.
'sBut the principal feature and the
lesson that the exhibit was INTENDED
TO teach the people OF Porto Rico was
shown in the treatment OF the quarter
acre blot that surrounded the cottage
On this had been planted and were
growing ali sorts Of vegetables. CAB

Looking back to those few weeks be-

THE JENKINS oRPHANAGE.
Great Work Of Uplift Being Done

In concluding their annual report on

the city commissioners had the follow
ing to say:
'sThe institutions founded by the
Rev. d. ]. Jenkins aud maintained by
his unremItting labOrs have taken hum
dreds Of Negro children from the slums
and cutters Of Charleston, given them
some rudiments Of Industrial training
and enabled many OF them to lead
lives not unuseful to this community.
ct Is futile to say that his efforts at
rescue and improvements have not al
WAYS proved successful The fact re-
mains that the efforts themselves are
worth the making. and the results In
vast majority Of cases have been as
satisfactory rs could reasonably have
been expected
THAT 80 per cent OF the total cost OF
these institutions Is betrayed by work
done by the inmates themselves is a
convincing testimonial to the opportu-
mites Afforded the children in them to
at themselves for a better citizenship
than they might even have achieved
had they not been consigned to the
care OF the Jenkins institution
in making this statement at this
time we feel that we are discharging
duty devolving upon Us as citizens, as
well as officials, to whom the public
may look for information regarding
