Boley, Okla, was founded by John
c. Leftwich, and other influential col
ored men, nine years ago. 1t is the
youngest. but also the largest, exclu-
sive negro and Indian town in the
world
In the open forest, remote from CIV
flization, a handful of red and black
men, who held that voluntary segrega-
ton was the only solution of certain
vexed race problems, set about prov
ing their theory in a practical way.
The city has grown to 5000 popula-
ton. There are churches, schools and
stores. but there is not white per-
son in town or in the surrounding
country. There are hotels where Wis
iting whites may stop. but none will
be allowed to purchase land or remain
as citizens.
The community has kept pace with
the town, as something over two thou
sand Indian and negro farmers are cul-
tivating the soil. Boley has model
city government under control of the
black race. The citizens are peace
able and thrifty.
II may be said, to the credit OF these
black and Indian people, that no so
looms, poolrooms, or houses Of ques-
tionable character, exist in their re-
markable little city. Loafers and dis
turbers are made to move on. Cot
ton-gins. sawmills, lumber yards and
many factories are among enterprises
established, besides 150 colored mer-
chants. The trade to the city comes
exclusively from Indian and negro
people. The leading citizens are boost
ing the town to $4,000 population.
Among the essential materials that
help the town are churches OF five
different faiths.

That the South is the best place
for the negro and that education ought
to prove his salvation were two of the
points made by Robert r. Motion, COM
mandant of cadets at Hampton insti-
tute, in a recent address.
thoughtful negroes as we'll as
thoughtful white men," he said, ARE
agreed that the South offers the
largest opportunity for the masses of
sumo. then,
That, for the present at least, the
South cannot depend on foreign inn
migrants for it's farm operatives, its
domestic and personal service. or it's
unskilled and semi-skilled labor;
That it must depend on the negro
for the present and also the very dis
tant future to recruit the ranks Of this
form of labor:
That. If the negro is to constitute
the mass of industrial operatives of
the South. it is imperative for the
common good that there should be
sympathetic cooperation with the
white workers engaged in similar
forms of industry:
That every effort should be exert
ed on the part of the South to make
these laborers, black and white, more
reliable, more skillful and more eff
cient; that the laborer can be kept
efficient and skillful only as his en-
vironment is wholesome and strength
ening and not weakening and demoral-
izing;
That it is the duty of. every pa
triotic southerner to use every possi
BILE means for the practical, sympa-
thetic training of these workers and
their children through a thorough,
wellregulated school system.
TT is frequently asserted by care
less and thoughtless speakers and
writers that all negroes are lazy, shift
less and inefficient; but in practically
every district where negroes are en-
ployed, whether as farm laborers or as
mechanical laborers, the verdict is
that large majority of negro work
ers are reliable. many of them are
skilltul and very efficient, and not a
few are almost Indispensable. There
are very few places in the South

in his fellow men"
Major Motion was led to emphasize
the very great necessity of education
for the negro. There has been much
criticism" he said, "and some fun
and ridicule made at the expense of
the educated negroes by, perhaps,

Kindergartens for colored children
are being adopted in different parts

for improving social conditions that
have troubled two generations. Rich

negro parents and the school authori-
