NEGRO IS LOYAL,
RACELEADERSAYS
American Nation Can Rely
UnIimitedIy on CoIored Man
to Follow Flag, 1t Is Held.
VIEWS OF. THE EDUCATORS

hension has been felt here and there
on the score Of the loyalty Of the negro
citizens, upon whose discomfort with
social and economic conditions and
with injustices it has been feared Ger
man agents might play. That this is
not the case is appreciated by all who
know the true character Of the colored
citizen, who. despite humiliations and
sufferings due to prejudice. is today as
stanch in his patriotism as any other
American and eager to do his "bit" for
the country in Its crisis. In this con-
nection the following article. prepared
by William Anthony Aery OF the staff
of the Hampton Normal and Agricul-
tural Institute. is instructive and in
teresting:
Says Negroes Are Loyal.
1.-THE American nation can rely un-
limitedly on the negro to follow the
flag wherever it may lead"
With these loyal words. Dean Kelly
Miller of Howard University recently
closed his address before conference
which DR.. P. P. Claxton. United States
commissioner Of education. had called
in Washington to discuss DR.. Thomas
Jesse Jones' report on Negro Educa-
tion'-a study of the private and high
er schools for colored people in the
United States.
Dean Miller Is an able negro leader.
man who has a keen and well trained
mind. a wide experience and accurate
knowledge of white people.
Those who wish to know what rep
resentative negro leaders themselves
think will be interested in Dean Mil
ler's other remarks:
Leaders Of the negro race must be
as well qualified as white leaders.
There is one formula for race ad-
justment. 1t is the law Of the road:
Keep to the right Patriotism is the
chief aim of education
That negroes want more and better
schools Is shown, for example, in the
case of 10000 negroes in Texas who re-

her recent analysis of "Lynching and
Negro Unrest" said:
Nothing remains to be done but to
make and administer adequate laws
and begin at the f1reside to teach white
children to respect the laws Of our land
and to have a correct estimate of the
value of human life. Let all
Americans remember that one race
cannot hate another without itself re-
turning to savagery."

The Negro Exodus.

At the recent New Orleans meeting OF
the National Association of Teachers in
Colored Schools the NEGRO Exodus
was the liveliest subject discussed. An
editorial writer in the Southern Work.
man, published by Hampton Institute,
says:
Speakers from the affected districts
all over the south told why people were
leaving their sections
Some of the reasons given as the
causes were lack of proper considera-
ton, poor school facilities, extremely
low wages and inadequate housing
conditions, a desire for franchise, and
a growing eagerness for the comm on,
everyday justice accorded to Ameri-
can citizens"
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones. in his epoch
making report on Negro Education" :"
published by the United States bureau
of education. shows that "a the an
nual expenditure for public elementary
schools for negroes is $4,000, 900 for an
attendance of 100000, which Is a per
capita Of about six dollars and sixty
six cents; (2) for public secondary and
higher schools. $1.215,112 for an at
tendance of q. 527, per capita of about
fifty-one dollars and sixty-odd cents.
Those who know what it costs to
train white boys and girls in the pub
lie schools, from elementary to uni
versity grade, will appreciate how lit
tie training the negro is receiving to
prepare himself to become an efficient
citizen in a democracy.

of these people was exposed to the world :
