DR.. RoBT. r. MOTION SPEAKS IN
BIRMINGHAM.

Birmingham, Ala, May 31st.-The
jefferson Theatre, one of the largest
auditoriums in this city, was the
scene of a large and appreciative au-
dience when DR.. Robert II. Motion,
principal of Tuskegee Institute, de-
livered the annual address in connec-
ton with the closing exercises of the
Birmingham High school, of which Mr..
A. II. Parker is principal. DR.. Motion
said among other things:
1.-The biggest thing that Booker T..
Washington did, in my judgment, was
not the establishment of the great
TuSkegee Institute, wonderful as it is,
but the greatest thing he did was in
| teaching white and colored people that
the two races could live peacefully
and harmoniously here in the South.
The greatest work that the cOlored
high school is doing is not the fine
records in scholarship the children are
making, nor the added appropriations
of buildings and equipment for the
colored high school, but more import
ant than buildings and grounds and
records and equipment is the spirit OF
service, of the appreciation of the dig
nifty of labor, the spirit of being a
blessing to the community, the spirit
Oh cD-OItIdlloll, llit Spllll VI
goodwill and helpfulness. That, my
friends, is the highest duty in these
times that any man or school can per
FORM
"The great devastation in Europe
of buildings, of art treasure, and the
great destruction of human life grew
out of misunderstanding and lack of
racial and international goodwill. My
race loves America, and Southern Ne
groes love the South, and they love
the Southern people. There is an un-
derstanding and sympathy between
them as individuals such as is diff
cult for many people to understand,
and large majority of them are 60
ing to remain in the South for all
time and the race problem is going to
be worked out down here in the South,
and believe there is patience enough,
democracy enough, Christianity enough
to make it possible for these two peo-
pies to live in peace and in harmony
and mutual helpfulness one towards
another"
At the conclusion of the exercises,
DIR. Motion was the guest of honor at
Il reception given by the Birmingham
Tuskegee Club, of which Mr.. Robert
l.. Mabry is the president.
