In a communication to the New
College of Arts and Sciences in How
ard university, says:
Il have read with great interest
your highly Illuminating editorial ar
ticle 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-
lance of securing adequate provision
for safeguarding the moral and social
life of these people suddenly thrust
into new environment. The imni
grants who, previous to the European
war, had flocked to our shores in un-
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
beneficially upon them. The Negro
laborer from the South has no such
helpful influences.
Coming from an environment of So
cial and civil restriction into a section
of complete public and civil freedom.
he will, naturally enough, first, mis-
take liberty for license unless he is
carefully safeguarded 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 preju-
dice public opinion and thus repro
duce Southern prescription in the
Northern states, the last state of the
race would be worse than the first.
The Negro church where these labor
ers are at work should be encouraged
to reach out 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-
situdes of life.
'As an illustration of this principle,
the National League on Urban Condi-
tions among Negroes has recently
been able to find places on the tobac-
co plantations of Connecticut for 7OO
Negro students. 1 have, personally,
placed over 75 students Of Howard
university in these tobacco fields. Ex-
perience has more than abundantly
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"
William II. HoltZclaw, founder and

far-reaching and tremendous.
Add to that the freight paid to ths
