The Negro Anxious To Learn

They are, as a rule, very deep
ly interested in education and will
send their children to school at al
most any sacrifice. The question
of clothes and food that is such a
vital one to the whites is nothing
to the negroes. | have seen the
chaps going to school with half
dozen joints of sugar cane in their
buckets for dinner and rags upon
their backs. And at Charleston,
5. c., at the fair and hundreds of
other places, they have demon
strated their ability to do things
and do them we'll. Open your eyes
and see that they make fine chauf-
feurs, cooks, farm hands, transfers,
laundrymen and few posts have
they tried to fill but that they
filled them we'll and to their credit
as race. They have come a long
way since slavery and have COW
cred the ground in very short
time at that. Their progress, tax
ing all things into consideration,
has been little short of marvellous.
No other race can boast of of such
achievements under so unfavor-
able conditions. The Anglo Saxon
took years TO reach the heights
that they have scaled so rapidly,
but some one says they are such
great imitators; true, but that is
in their favor if we work together.
1t shows ability to find the other
fellows strong point and initiate
it at once.
There is a quaint little couplet
that runs something like this
Two men looked out throug pri-
son bars. The one saw mud the
other stars" And it is generally
true that one sees what he looks
for in this life, and it is also true
that one grows to be like what he
continually looks at. We have a
peculiar way of growing to be like
our ideals and trying to live up to

cades since they received their
freedom have shown a marvellous
multiplication of the race and to-
day they are thrifty and success
fully keeping the command of
Lord to multiply and replenish the
earth. Five millions in 1855 to
ton millions in 1915 is increasing
some to be sure.
DIR. Brown, of South Carolina,
has struck the keynote when he
argues that there are two things
that must be done. One is to edu-
cate their preachers and fill their
minds with white ideals of world
wide progress and development
and the other is to educate the
masses along industrial lines.
Booker T. Washington was en-
gagged in this work when he died.
1t is a stupendous task but it can
be done. If it is worth while to
pursue the course that we are pur-
suing on foreign fields it is worth
while to try educate the negroes
here at home and train them to eff
fieiency and do our dead level best
to reach them through their own
preachers and teachers and color.
If these two hereulean problems
are ever solved it will be by the
co operation of the whites of the
south and the blacks working il
out together. The northern phil
anthropist working at it will new
er be able to solve the problem be-
cause he cannot put himself in the
in the other fellows place and see
things as they must be seen. He
is too for off and too much out of
harmony to attempt it even with
a reasonable hope of success.
Self-protection demands that we
solve the problem. Mr.. Dickens
in one of his very helpful books
tells about man who was tre-
mendously wealthy and owned a
great factory and in it was much
of poverty and uneleanness among
the operatives. Finally, the wife
of the wealthy owner was stricken
by contagious disease and died.
He reproached the poor, unclean-
ly operatives and blamed them for
the death of wife. They replied
that if he knew the conditions and
they did not, that he was more re-

WHAT The WHITE PAPERS
ARE SAYING ABOUT
The NEGRO RACE
THE RACE QUESTION AS IT FACES
US In GEORGIA
BY w. H. FAUST, Ia white man)

BY w. H. FAUST, ia white mani
1t was the writer's good fortune
attend session of the Negro
Baptist Association which con-
vencd in Winder recently. The
body did some splendid work and
the ability of the workers from
the various sections was demon
strated by the proceedings. The
reports showed progress in all lines
of work in which they are engaged.
1t was refreshing to see the inter-
est which was manifested and the
information brought out by the
speakers. If any man feels that
this race has made no progress it
would be best for him to keep
quiet for men who are informed
know better.
Born and reared in the famous
black belt of Georgia, one cannot
but feel profound interest in the
relationship of the races. We are
living together and must continue
so to do. The question of the re-
lationship of the white and colored
races is a great one. The wisdom
of our wisest statesman and politi-
cal seers is needed in its solution.
The question has two sides--a
white side and colored side. it
threefold in its cope, involving
what will be done by the whites
alone, what will be done by the
black alone and what will be done
by the whites and blacks together.
The latter phase of the matter is
of thrilling interest to each one of
us just now. One thing is true
and that is that the negro had no
thing to do in the first place with
his coming over. He was captured
and brought here over his most
emphatic protest. 1t is out of
place to even suggest that our
white ancestors made a great mis-
take to capture human beings and
make out of them chattels of trade
That was settled years ago by the
civil war and its results. What
we have to deal with is the prob
lem as it now stands without re-
gard to who is or was responsible
for it. Certainly it is here.
Foolish Suggestion In Regard To
The Solution

but up popped the Psychologists

Grafton ard a careful investigation
shows that there is something to
the claim. Then others equally
as silly suggested that they be
shipped to the North where the
people loved them so dearly and
wanted them so badly, but that
will not do, for the climate is just
bit too cold and the work a bit
too difficult for them to endure.
Then too, the philanthropists up
north loved them better at long
range than they did close by and
SO demonstrated themselves the
absurdity of this plan of action.
Again others said send them to
Liberia. Only a few shiploads
went and this proved fake. 9th
ers said send them west of the
Mississippi and fit them up with
reservation property and at once
the wise statesman saw the folly
of this suggestion and gave it up
