II permanent results are TO be Sc
cured. the Negro who actually culti-
Yates the land must be reached and
trained into growing a good producing
crop. How can this be done? My an
swer would be. by putting a Negro
farm demonstration agent into every
county OF the South where there is any
considerable number Of Negro farm
ers This Negro demonstration agent
should be a man OF good common
sense lie should be a man who
knows the characteristics OF the col
ored people. who knows how to reach
them IN and through their societies,
their churches and their various or.
ganizations Of one kind and another.
He should be a mal required to travel
from one farm to another throughout
the country training the Negro farmer
how to produce a food crop. Wherever
these demonstration agents have al
ready been at work in the South they
have done work which has been most
helpful and commendable.
II this important work is to be done,
no time should be lost In selecting
these demonstration agents. The cost
should not be large. Either through
county appropriations or from some
part Of the state funds appropriated
for agricultural purposes. a portion of
the money for the salary perhaps could
be provided. Appropriations are also
being made by the United States gov
ernment to encourage and promote
various kinds Of agricultural work
Some part Of this money, feel sure
might be secured from the Supith
Lever fund. or from the United States
demonstration fund administered
through DR.. Bradford Knapp. While
! am not in position to suggest just
where the money may be secured,
think II an earnest effort is made some
portion OF II can be secured from some
OF the funds or agencies here men

Albany Journal.

According TO the preliminary report
OF the census bureau, just published.
the colored population Of the country
has been making a good record of
progress, measured by the returns OF
the decade with which development II
deals. They have increased in num-
Der, though at a much lower rate than
the native whites. and far below the
record OF the foreign born whites.
In the ten year period the total value
OF the farm property operated by Ne
groes has more than doubled and now
exceeds very considerably sl,0O0,00O.-
600. But perhaps the most encourag-
ing gain Of all is the advance that has
been made in education. In 1910
more than 81 per cent Of the blacks
were reported as illiterate. That has
now been reduced to a little over 30
per cent II the 1920 census shows

To rationalize education throughout
the country has been and is the pur-
pose OF those making for the nations
progress. As the great majority OF
men are engaged today in constructive
work-that Industrial. technical, com
mercial and institutions OF training
for that are growing in number every
where the note Of progress is decided.
The naturalization OF the educational
system for the Negro should find CO.
operative action now among intelli-
gent people OF both races.
Just as the Boston School OF Tech.
nology initiated in the country the
practical form of education for which
the nations inventive and construc-
tive forces made demand: tust as
the tidal wave bringing Industrial
training to the South came to save a
social inertia, as well as one educa-
tional. Hampton institute. Virginia.
has come as the prophet OF that spirit
OF educational light which the Negro
race may look to as their star OF hope
and guide to progress.
Hampton institute trains men and
women to lead the men and women
OF their race in avenues OF useful
ness II inculcates the building up OF
the racial standards which home the
basic principles. and the watchword
OF the school | would define as racial
responsibillty-the responsibility not
only OF individual development. but Of

Without Precedent.

Officials declined 70 comment to any
extent on the British order but their
displeasure over its contents was ap.
parent. 1t was pointed out there was
no precedent for Great pritain's ac.
tion.
Summed up, officials interpreted the
British order as meaning that without
enforcing a blockade on the German
coast itself but by stopping American
ships anywhere on the high seas, car
goes destined for Germany would be
taken into prize courts for intermin-
able litigation.

 every performance There was not even standing room at the first even ing show and many who desirGd to witness the attraction we're compelled to wait until the early one had vacat- ed seats The opinion,, as expressed by many. is that the show is "excep- tionally clever" with a good chorus of attractive girls, prettily attiree and rendering their parts in excellent manner. The scenic effects. especi- ally the roof garden, was very pleas ing, The songs provoked numerous Nncorss, and the comedy of MT. H,dges kept the aaldience in almost constant laughter. Miss Jean Tynes won her way Into the hearts of her audiences with her first appearance 2, and increased her popularity every minutes she remaimsd cn the stage.
