Problem of Negro Education
Prom ''Negro Training and Racial Goo

From Negro Training and Racial Good
 Will" By Jackson Davis, in the
 American Reviews of Reviews.
 Let no one imagine that the task of promoting negro education and racial good will is completed or even about to be completed. The needs are so great and varied and the extent of country so vast that what has been done is, after all, only beginning, a clearing of the way for teaching back to ther emote country neighborhoods where most of the colored people are found, with all the helpful agencies of education. How soon the southern states can meet the unparalleled demands of public education for negroes in the fact of the greatly increased demands for white sschools in spite of the great progress of recent years, is yet an un- answered question.
 The admirable conduct of the negro in the great war. his patriotism and readiness to answer every call of the government, commands the respect of alL people. The strong competition of the north for his labor is new factor entering into the southern economic sit uaNion just at a time when southern agriculture, reaping the good seed sown by pr. Seaman A. Knapp in the demon-

new story ''The War Eagle takes America in the days preceding our en- trance into the war for the setting"
 The story opens in British Columbia -"There's Robinson Crusoe in every English boy, and he doesn't die in boy hood" It is here we find George Wal Ter, an Oxford graduate and successful author at the age of 26.
 The vague accounts of war which reach this little community make no impression. George Waller goes to New York, where the first words that greet him are: We must be neutral in word and thoughtv' No one stops to ask whether it is possible to be neu. tral in thought
 The attitude of America is constant ly challenged by MT. Dawson in this novel. The sinking of the Lusitania, with direct personal consequences to persons in the story, leads him to say:
 Tt was not the, true voice of Amer ica nor did it express the true mind of the speaker, but in that deep silence which fell upon the land in this hour of consternation, it had the authority of an oracle. Men huddled together, not knowing how to act, and word can drive them. Too proud to fight the phrase really meant nothing at all. In an academic address it would have passed unnoticed. Unfortunately q great calamity afforded it sounding board, which sent it vibrating round the world. It would reach the soldiers in the trenches, it would penetrate the darkened homes, where American men and women mourned their dead sunk deep in the cruel sea, it would be reported wherever a printing press ex- isted, it would be received with ribald laughter in the beer gardens in Ber- lin. It could never be recalled. His tory would record it. It would live with the durable vitality of stars and planets"

stration work, has under pressure Nof war conditions, become suddenly di- versified and more prosperous than ever before. The small farmer and the ten ant have perhaps the best chance of
 their lives to get ahead and to acquire land.
 Under all these new conditions rest lessness is apparent and perhaps this impatience will have some unlovely manifestations, yet on the whole the great majority of white and colored people are showing good sense and good humor. The colored people are expect ing needed civic reforms, larger share in the public school funds and a larger share in the civic life of their communi- ties. Whatever the developments of the future may be, there are at least three
 very hopeful things in the present situ- ation:
 First, the spirit of self-help which
 the colored people are showing. Second the efforts of southern leaders
 to pitch the whole discussion of the question of a higher plane and to apply the economic and educational remedies
