HAMPTON CELEBRATES ITS
SEM-cENrENNIAL
By VIA. Anthony Aery

hampton, Va. May - Hon.
William Howard Taft, president
of the Hampton Institute Board
of Trustees, speaking in Ogden
Hall at the Fifty-first Anniver-
sary exercises of Hampton Inst
itute, which included the cele-
bration of the Schools Semi-cen-
tennial, paid tribute to the work
of Armstrong, Frissell, and
Gregg.
Hampton is a great National
instrument of progress, invented
by General Armstrong and peri
eeted by DIR. Frissell. 1t is given
to few schools to be a pioneer in
education, as Hampton has been.
Hampton is the mother of a new
system of education. Gen. Arm
strong, with the problem of fit
ing thousands CT a backward ra-
ee for life and progress, coneeiv-
ed the possibility of uniting men
tai training with that of the hand
In useful trade. 1t was especially
adapted to the need he sought
to satisfy. But his conception,
worked out to a successful pract
zeal result, has been given appli-
cation around the world. Not
only for backward races but also
for considerable part of races
advanced in civilization is the
union of manual and intellectual
training regarded as the best
preparation for life"

RECONSTRUCTION AND THE
NEGRO
By Julius Rosenwald
President Sears, Roebuck and Co.
and Trustee of Tuskegee
Institute

Although American sacrifices
in the European War have been
great, we find composition for
them in many directions. Not the
least of these is the vastly in
creased number Of opportunities
fer to many of our citizens.
to many of our citizens.
Today the United States is the
leading nation of the world In
virtually every line of activity,
We have been thrust into a new
world leadership by the war. 1t
behooves us to make the most
of our new opportunities. To e.
uuip ourselves creditably we
must utilize the best there is in
the manhood and womanhoOd of
our nation, drawing upon the in
tellect and ability of every per-
son who has either to give.
Approximately ten percent OF
our present population is colored.
Every man, woman and child of
this ten percent should be given
the opportunity to utilize what
ever ability he has in the strug-
gle for the maintenance of world
leadership which we now face.
Just insofar as we refuse to
give this part of our population
an opportunity to lend its
strength to helping us set a pace
for the rest of the world, as best
it can, so do we weaken the to-
tai strength of our nation. In
other words, we can either give
our colored population the right
and the opportunity to do the
best work of which it is capable
and increase our efficiency, OF
we can deny them their rights
and opportunities, as we have
done in many instances, and de,
crease our efficiency proportio-
nately.
OF course, the question natu'
rally arises as to how efficient
the colored man and the colored
woman are when given the op
portunity to demonstrate theil
ability. No better answer can bt
found than that given by the
splendid work of the majority
of our colored people during the
war. On the firing line, in tho
camps behind the line, and in eli
VII life our colored population
has done wen indeed. Four hun
dred thousand Negroes Offered
their lives for their country. Ma
nv more made noble sacrifices IN
civilian life.
It was my privilege not only
to observe the work done In civil
Life by colored persons in this
country during the war. but to
visit eolored troops IN France

in a most generous manner at the
disposal of the Government thro-
ughtout its period of need, and
the list of corporations, frater-
mites and individuals who have
aided in bringing success to A
merican arms by the purchase OF
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps and by contributions to
other war relief agencies, is IN
deed a long one.
Opportunities of the colored
people to make safe investment
of their savings never were so
great as they are today
The financial program the Go
vernment has entered upon and
is continuing to carry out to
meet the expense of the war 81
YES a chance to save in sums as
small as twenty-five cents and
make an investment upon which
return of both principal and in
terest is absolutely guaranteed.
Too often colored people have en-
trusted their savings to wholly
irresponsible persons, lost them
through the dishonesty of these
persons, and in Encouragement
abandoned all attempts at saving.
Today, however, there is no ex-
cuse for any man not saving a
certain amount of his earnings
no matter how small it may be.
1t is a poor person, indeed, who
cannot invest twenty-five cents
at stated intervals in a Thrift
Stamp. Many are able also to buy
small Liberty Bonds. It is a duty
and a privilege for eolored per-
sons to help the Government II
nance the war, which was for
both whites and blacks.
1t is the particular duty OF
white persons, in cooperation
with the most influential menu
bers of their own race, to explain
these Government financial plans
to the colored men and women
that they may make safe invest
ments, acquire a competence, and
thus become better citizens.
1t is my belief that the Negro
soldiers returning from France
will be a better citizens than
when he left. He will be benefit
ted mentally and physically by
his military training and expe-
rience. He will have a broader
vision. He will appreciate Ameri-
can citizenship. He will know, l
believe, that freedom, for which
he risked his life and all, is not
license. He will find his brothers
at home who did not go overseas
better for their war sacrifices.
Both the soldier and the civilian
have proved their devoted loyal
ty. Justice demands that they
now be rewarded with an equal
chance with the white man to
and professional world as their
climb as high in the industrial
individual capacity warrants.
