In bulletin prepared by the bureau
of the census, which shows the stand
ing OF the Negro race in this country
at the time of the last census, i've
facts stand out to the credit OF Ne
groes, and to the country at large
The report shows an Increasing ten
dency among Negroes toward home
ownership, a marked increase In the
percentage of schools, a decided de-
crease in the percentage Of illiteracy,
a decrease In the mortality rate, and
an increase in the proportion OF
church membership. Another feature
in connection with the report worthy
of special notice is that all the work
on 1t, including the preparation OF
the statistical tables, as well as the
clerical work, was done by Negro en-
ployees of the department.
In 1890 the Negro population of the
United States was 757 ,20S, which at
that time was 1913 per cent OF the to-
tai population of the country. In 1910
the Negro population was 9,s27.I63. or
10.7 per cent of the total population.
1t should be remembered in this con-
nection, however, that since 1910 there
has been practically no Negro imml-
grafton into this country. while the
white population has been constantly
augmented by the inflow Of immi-
grants from Europe. The report
shows that 99.2 per cent of all Negroes
in the United States in 1910 were ma
tives of native parentage. while the
remainder were OF foreign or mixed
foreign and native parentage. Thus
it would appear that the race is in no
danger from dying BY the slow process
of race suicide.
For several years associations inter-
ested in the advancement OF the Ne
gro race have urged on southern Ne
groes the advantage of owning their
homes. The Negro Is naturally home
loving. He is not by nature inclined
to rove from the place where he has
attained maturity, yet it was found
that the number of Negroes who
owned their homes was small. This
movement seems to have met with the
approval OF the Negroes, especially In
the southern states. In 1910 there
were in these states 1,917,3sf Negro
homes, of which 430.449. or 22.4 per
cent. were owned by Negroes. In
Virginia the percentage rises to 41.S,
but the Negroes farther south appear
to be slower to adopt the home-buying
plan, for in Georgia the percentage
drops to 14.7. The total increase,
however, is substantial, and this is
a hopeful sign which should give en-
enlargement to all interested in the
progress OF the race.

In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the
number OF homes owned by Negroes In
the southern states increased by 1922
9i2. or 31.4 per cent. In 1910 in Ala
bama 1927 farm homes and 1914
other homes-chiefiy in urban COM
munities--were owned by Negroes.
In Tuskegee pamphlet 1t is stated
that 100000 Negroes in the South are
seriously Ill all the time; that the an
nual cost OF sickness OF these 100000
Negroes is $4,000. 900; that one-half
of this sickness Is preventable; that
the annual economic loss to the South
from sickness and death among the
Negroes is $500. 100000.
This whole question is OF great eco
nomic Importance and the white peo-
pie OF the South should stand ready to
assist the Negroes In this better
health movement"

For twenty years Hampton institute
has been sending out into the South a
band of well trained tailors-men who

of boys clubs and the improvement
of civic conditions. Today one finds

is clear from the fact that many Of
the Hampton tradesmen have re-

the very best southern white people
Hampton has succeeded in the tailor
ing department in training men who
cannot only make their fellows out

The world is accustomed to marvel
at the progress made by the japanese
and by the Germans during the last
half century, and rightly. But here
in the United States a race has moved
forward no less triumphantly. The
drama of the American Negroes adj
vancement, 1t is true, has not been ac-
companied by a military glamour with
its martial music. nor has 1t had the
literary stimulus of a great racial con-
seriousness.
But for all the quietness and unob-
trusiveness of this upward movement.
the victories of the Negro have an i'm
mense meaning for the welfare OF the
world. The Negroes have succeeded
in the arts of peace. Individually,
generation by generation, they have
become more fit for the great struggle
of contemporary life. They have ae-
complished the miracle of lifting a
people en- masse.
