1t is said that Norway (Me.) men

For a number of years bricks have
been made from lava rocks deposited
by ancient flows in certain parts Of the

In a communication to the New
York Times, Kelly Miller, dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences in How
ard university, says:
Il have read with great interest
your highly Illuminating editorial ar
tcle on the economic opportunities of
the Negro in the North. Under the
spur of urgent industrial demands it
seems entirely likely that hundreds of
thousands of Negroes will be trans
ferred to the North, and thus shift to
some extent the center of gravity of
the problem.
Il beg to call attention TO the impOr-
n of securing adequate provision
for safeguarding the moral and social
life of these people suddenly thrust
into a new environment. The immi-
grants who, previous to the European
war, had tlocked to our shores in I'M
precedented numbers, in addition to
their racial assimilability, have been
assisted in adjusting themselves to
their new relations by the Christian
churches and other agencies playing
benettcially upon them. The Negro
laborer from the South has no such
helpful influences.
Coming from an environment of So
cial n civil restriction into Il section
of complete public and civil freedom.
he will, naturally enough. first, mis-
take liberty for license unless he is
carefully S~afeguarded and encouraged
in the right direction. The captains
of industry are apt to be shortsighted.
Immediate economic advantage blinds
them to the evil consequences that
may follow in its wake.
SHOULD the influx of Negro labor
erS to the North, without proper restric-
ton and control. be allowed to preiu-
dice public opinion and thus repro
duce Southern prescription in the
Northern states, the last state of the
race would he worse than the first.
The Negro church where these labor
ers are Mt work should he encouraged
TO reach gu and lay hold upon every
workman who comes to the Northern
communities. Such agencies as the
Young Mems Christian association
should be established and encouraged.
Tried and experienced social workers
should move among them with a view
to relating them sensibly to their new
environment.
"This new industrial movement.
which opens up untold possibilities for
the race, illustrates anew the i'm
portance Of the higher education
through which a body of trained lead
ers may be prepared for the arduous
tasks of guiding Alright the masses of
their race amid the dangers and vicis-
STRIDES of life.
AS an Illustration of this princinle.
the National League on Urban Condi-
tons among Negroes has recently
been able to find places on the tobac-
co plantations of Connecticut for 700
Negro students. I have, personally,
placed over 70 students of Howard
university in these tobacco fields. Ex-
p%erience has more than a~bundantly
Justified the wisdom of sending with
each group of students an instructor
TO advise and encourage and direct
them in their new relationship.
THE economic opportunity for the
race is, indeed, a large one. But great
also are the moral responsibilities.
Let US hope that the Negro will be en-
couraged to receive and appreciate
the advantage of BOTH"

To help Negro boys become practical

United States department Of agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the state
colleges, is organizing throughout the
South Farm Makers club for rural
Negro children.
This activity, begun experimentaIly
last year by the office of extension
work, South, has grown rapidly and
already is thoroughly organized in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Florida and Mis-
sissippi, The work also is being ar
ried on to some extent in each of the
other southern states.
The chief object of these clubs is
to encourage Negro farmers, particu-
larry in the cotton sections, to raise
some food instead of devoting their
entire attention to a single crop.
In the clubs for boys the typical
plan Is to encourage and help the
members to use an acre, one-half of
which is devoted to corn, One-fourth
TO potatoes and One-fourth to peanuts.
This teaches II desirable rotation and
at the same time furnishes three food
products for human consumption, and

Washington, d. c., Nov. lit 5
safe to say that the practical solu-
ton of the headlight problem is
near at hand, judging from the find
ings of the committee of the society
of automobile engineers which has
had the subject in hand for some time
past"
This is the belief of President H.
M. Rowe of the American Auto
mobile Association, committee from
which organization attended the cleo
trical equipment session of the re-
cent standards committee meeting of
the automobile engineers, held in
Washington, D. c., at the U. S. bu-
reau of standards.
Reports from A. A. A. clubs
throughout the country indicated
drastic legislative action in several
states unless some concrete solution
was put forward by the motor car
owners" says President Rowe, land
this caused our legislative board
chairman to call upon the society of
automobile engineers to give the
headlight problem the right of way
over other questions upon which it is
at work. Chairman Yellott will
draft a model bill as soon as the
engineers complete their report and
the measure will then be available
for introduction III the states which
are threatened with undigested reg
ulation.
