We have before us a program - the

papers very little would be known Of

were sent out to most Of these papers.
and they were generously published.

most unselfsh agencies at work for the
uplift of the Negro. one OF the most
powerful and yet the least appreciated.
THE orators on the program Of this
meeting will speak their messages TO
the hundreds under the sound Of their
voices; the Negro press win take up
the message and herald to thousands
and hundreds of thousands OF readers.
This is the unselfsh mission of the
Negro press
"Just why the press was ignored in

SOUTHERN RACE QUESTIONS.

University Commission TO Hold Impor-

The third meeting Of the university

will be held in Richmond, Va. on Dec.

inception to DR.. James Il. billiard.
president OF the Jeanes fund and for
mer dean of Tulane university. en-
bodies one main idea-that the time
has come for southern white people to
study carefully and to speak out bold
ly on the questions affecting the Negro
in his relation to the life Of the south
ern people.
1t is a nonsalaried body and Is COM
posed Of one representative from each
Of eleven southern state universities.
It's aim is twofold-6rst. to discover
all the facts possible to learn about
the status Of the Negro In the south,
and. second. to bring these facts to the
attention Of the white people Of the
south as effectively as possible More
than any other one thing, the commits
sion hopes to make southern white men
Of weight speak out frankly.
Professor W. o. Scroggs Of the Lou
isiana State university says Of the
movement: The four great needs In
dealing with our southern race prob
lens are education. cooperation, pub
icity and patience. As to education, ]
believe It Is highly desirable that a
course Of instruction In the race ques-
tion should be given In every institu-
tion for higher education In the south
In such a course It should be the OBJ
ject to place before the students the
best thought Of representative Ameri-
can citizens on this subject and to as
sist them In adopting a rational view
point on all matters concerning inter
racial relations
This would undoubtedly have good
effect. but even then much more will
remain to be done. The real problem.
I believe. Is not so much to reach the
university student as It Is to reach the
man who lives on Jones' creek at the
head Of the hollow. he Is not inhu-
enced by the printed page. but by the
spoken word. and the only spoken
word be ever hears on this subject is
from one Of his own group or from the

The results have been altogether

creditable, largely from Negro schools,

The Negro parade, said to have been q
