for May would include consideration
of the subject Of national charities
and corrections and that two or three
men OF national reputation would
speak.
Doctor Miller said in part:
THE race problem constitutes .
challenge to Christianity in the world
today. If Christ should come to Amer
lea, he would not ask Of the Christian
church how many costly edifices have
you constructed, or how well have you
organized your schemes of endeavor
according to the exactness Of business
efficiency; but rather what are you do
ing for the least of these my brethren
in black whom circumstances have
placed in your own midst?
The Negro cannot be segregated
from the communal life of which he
forms an inseparable part. 1t is not
necessary to like the Negro in order
to be interested in him. You may hate
with deep malignity your fellow-pas-
senger on an ocean steamer, but the
moment he becomes afflicted with the
smallpox he ELECTS your keenest inter
est and anxiety, for he has the power
to communicate to you the malady
which has afflicted him.
Every ignorant Negro in Indian
apolis lowers the standard of intelli-
gence of the city. Every vicious one
impairs its moral reputation, everyone
who is sick affects the health of your
fair capital. Those disease germs pay
absolutely no regard to the doctrine
Of race superiority. They are not
even frightened at the scarecrow Of
social equality. but gnaw with equal
avidity at the vita!s of black and white
alike and pass with utmost freedom
and satisfaction from one to the other.
Strong emphasis should be placed
upon the Negro. not because he is
black, but because his needs are great
est. In this work of human uplift, you
may we'll lay aside all preconceived
theories OF racial arrogance and con-
celt and apply yourselves IN the spirit
of Christian brotherhood to this great
human task.

the same time they need leaders to
guide them wisely amid the dangers
and vicissitudes of life. Just as we

race to assist and encourage the in.

oped into memorial to the late Book
or T. Washington and to his work to
ward the solution OF the race problem
n America. Every speaker eulogized
him, the quartet paid tribute to him
In song and an unexpected feature OF
the meeting was. . presentation of q
medallion representing Doctor Wash.
ington's head. which had been mod.
eled in clay by Miss Ruth M. Harris,
now student In the University OF
Pittsburgh.
There were several hundred persons
Ut the meeting, numbered among
whom were many prominent men and
women OF Pittsburgh as well as many
Negroes who realize the work that is
being done for their race at Hampton.
The program opened with old planta-
.tion melodies sung by graduates of the
school. d.. John A. Brashear presid-
ed. He drew attention to the fact that
ct the last Hampton meeting in Pitts
burgh, two years ago, Doctor Wash
tngton was one Of the speakers. Doc
tor Brashear then introduced George
McAneny. managing director of the
New York Times.
Mr.. yMcAneny, said he became inter-
ested in Hampton's work when he was
sent there to write descriptive story
some twenty-five years ago. Since
that time he has been active in the
work Of Hampton. and of the Tuskegee
institute, which Booker T. Washing
ton made famous. Mr.. McAneny said
that Hampton has many phases in its
work. but that Of which he likes to
think Is that 1t is the scene of the
greatest attempt to reach a solution
of the problem Of the place tho Negro
10 to occupy in this nation. He well
coined Mai. Robert Motion, also a
speaker of the evening, and the prin-
cipalelect of Tuskegee, as Booker T.
Washington's successor as the leader
OF his people.
Major Motions address was an expo
sition Of the aims of Hampton-to wipe
from the mind Of the Negro the repug-
nance toward manual labor which
came to him when he was freed, to in
still In him knowledge of the dignity
and honor of labor of the hands, to
teach him to believe in himself, and
to respect himself rather than to feel
shame at his color or his race. He
said that the adjustments of the two
great extremes-the white and the
black-is the greatest problem, this
country faces. and he rejoiced( fin the
belief that Hampton and Tuskegee are
helping to solve 1t.
