five per cent over that Of previous
years. The number Of pages has been

material been added, but the informa-
ton contained in the previous volumes
has been expanded, revised, rewritten,
and brought down to date.
The success of the previous years has
encouraged the publishers to believe

sive and impartial review Of the events
of the year which affect the interests
and indicate the progress of the race.

vide this, together with q compact but
comprehensive statement Of historical
and statistical facts arranged for ready
reference. It seeks to be at once .

and . bibiographioal guide TO the lit
erature Of the subjects discussed, In
addition to the extended photography
Of the Negro race st the end Of the
volume the reader viii also find in this
years issue Of the Book throughout
the volume in connection with each
special topic further references to the
specific subject mentioned, 90 that the
student who wishes to pursue the in
vestigatiOn of any subject referred to
win find the way opened to him. In
addition to its interest for the general
reader, the book is also especially
adapted for use in schools where his
torieal and sociological courses on the
Negro are given.
During the coming year the publish

tending the directory feature of the

their service have distinguished them
selves. During the past year, through
the kindness of readers of the Negro
Year Book, the Editor, Mr.. Monroe N.
Work has come into possession Of con-
siderable valuable material. So far as
