millions of colored people would be-

That the Negro must look to the
schools for preparation for his work
in life, and that he must erect schools
and maintain them himself, was the
declaration of DR.. A. P. Camphor,
president of Central Alabama college,
before the Central Alabama confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, in delivering the principal ad-
dress at the educational anniversary.
An audience that filled every available
bit of space in st. PauIs Methodist
church at Birmingham heard his ad-
dress, which was the feature of the
days work. He pleaded for greater
interest in Negro education, paid
high tribute to the work of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in providing
educational institutions for all people,
and showed the unmistakable duty
of the Negro of today to help more
largely in the education of the Negro
youth.
Just what was being done at Gen.
trail Alabama college, the local institu-
ton maintained by the church for Ne
groes at Mason City, was told by the
speaker. The choir from the school
rendered music for the occasion.
