The demand for the services Of color,
ed men In various sections of the coun-
try is increasing. At Birmingham,
Ala, recently it was stated that there
was a serious shortage of colored Ia
borers in Birmingham and vicinity due
to the fact that the colored people are
leaving the south at the rate Of nearly
100 per day for the north, southwest
and parts Of Virginia and Kentucky.
Among the many reasons given for
this great exodus Of the colored people
are lack Of protection from mob vio-.
lence, poor wages, Acknowledgement.
attempted segregation in farm employ
ment, segregation in cities and on all
public cohveyances and almost nothing
for their farm produce. The whole

opportunity which presents itself for
their doing so.

both desirable and possible.
Mr.. williams In q recent article In
the Southern Workman wisely said:
Athletics tend to use the surplus en-
ergy Of young men and women. They
promote spirit Of loyalty that cannot
be so well developed otherwise. But In
order that they may do the greatest
good they must exist for the student
and not serve solely to advertise the
school. The object OF their maintenance
in any school must be one Of service In
developing health, strength and vital
ity and in promoting wholesome recrea-
ton. Athletics as we have them today
can be used as a powerful social force.
They can be used In developing a
higher social morality or lower one
by the standards set In the college
games which IRE witnessed by hun
dreds and thousands Of youth each
year. .@ .<
Zone Of the great problems confront
ing the American people today is that
Of wholesome recreation, and It is in.
deed serious with the Negro. To realize
Its importance one has only to notice
how and where the youth Of the Negro
race are spending their hours Of recrea-
ton, both in the cities and In rural dis.
tricts. The object of this great athletic
that is sweeping over our
land is an earnest effort to meet, at
least in part, this demand for diver
sion. Our schools and colleges can do
m inestimable good II they encourage
The great mass Of the youth to partici-
pate in such games and pastimes as
will develop the manly virtues of cour-
lge, endurance, unselfishness, heroism.

and winter. for the building up Of
strong, pure bodies among the 500 boys
Of Hampton and for the development
of athletic teams which would reflect
credit on the institution and the whole
Negro race. D.'A
Mr.. Williams has never lost sight OF
the Importance of getting the entire
student body into wholesome athletic
work. Football. baseball. basketball,
rowing, general track athletics-all
these lines of sport have been system
atically developed at Hampton under
his direction. #.Et, q, so
The all round training and disci-
pline Of boys have been the essential
aim rather than the training Of few
winning teams which would help ad-
vertise tile Hampton school. In the
Hampton gymnasium during the past
six years hundreds Of boys have re-
ceived valuable setting up exercises
and helpful ideas for wholesome COM
munity recreation which they have
been able to put at the service of dis
tant rural and urban districts. Boys
who come from Hampton are now ex-
pected to bring with them some work
ing plans for community recreation.
Many have asked. "Why is Mr.. Will
liams SO successful in turning out win
ming football teams?''e Here is the sub.
stance Of Mr.. Williams reply: 3 -
Y '"The success of Hampton athletic
teams is due first to the regular life
ind habits of the students;' second, to
their sense of obedience. which Is the
, unconscious reaction to military drill.
and third. to their fine spirit Of loyalty
to the, Hampton school and its officers,
The director also believes in 'pre-
paredness in athletics. He applies to
his problems scientific knowledge and
does not have to worry about results.
for the results take care Of themselves.
He gives to the men under his charge
much individual study and care. He
does not allow good material to go to
