Hampton, July 9.-"Education and
organization are the bases of progress
i'm rural community building, de-
clared DR.. Albert Il. Mann, of Ithaca
n. Y. dean Of the New York State
College of Agriculture, Cornell Uni
versity. in his address on "Co-opera-
tive Effort in Rural Community
Building" delivered recently mt Hamp-
ton Institute before the join confer
ence of Negro farmers and ministers
and the Hampton summer school for
teachers Dean Mann. said:
I'VE must think in terms of comm't-
nifty organization. because the comlnu-
nity now does for us SO much that
used to be done in the home. 1t is
possible. | believe, to make commu-
nifty what we wish it to be within, of
course. certain limitations. Communl-
ties. like individuals, have standards OF
life. determined by such elements as
industry, education, religion, politics,
social contacts, and recreationai op-
Dortunities. We often think of making
the individual fit for the community
We must remember that it is necessary
to make the community fit for the in
dividual."
Reasons for encouragement.
DIR. James T. Gregg, principal of
Hampton Institute, said: "rhese are
days of progress. People are more in
telligent. They are more atruistic and
philanthropic on the whole. They are
much more Interested in community
welfare than they used to be. The
world is moving in the right direction.
In the South the signs of progress, of
uplift, of right interest are unmistak-
able. We must not ret ourselves he
deluded or hlndered or spoiled by these
many signs of progress. AS Christian
men, we should never cease to be hope
full but when our hopefulness takes
upon it the aspect of Self-congratula-
tion and inertia, then it begin to do us
harm. Progress, says the Dean OF st.
Paul's Cathedral, mt Oxford, is not II
law of human nature, but is task to
be worked out We cannot comfort
ably settle down and trust our part of
the worlds work to accomplish itself.
We have got to keep our hands upon
it all the time"
Progress Out of Turmoil.
DR. James Hardy Dillard, Charlottes-
Vile, Va, president of the Jeanes and
Slater Boards, in his address mt a
ioint meeting of farmers, teachers, and
ministers. said: 1.-THE decrease in
rural population is II tremendous prob

improve living in the country is just
about the best thing that can be done
for our country today. The time has
been when the preacher seemed to

but that of saving II man from nell

largely from the fact that people have

I'VE are in bad times. There are
twenty wars going on now in the
world. Conditions are upset. People
are still feeling more or less nervous.
| honestly think, however, and have
read and studied history good deal,
that out of,these times in'whicl we are

that the world has ever seen We want
the time to come when there will mol
be any golden palaces for one man,
built on the labor of others, and when
there will not be any more One-room
cabins for the man farthest down. In
the meantime we must be patient.
There are going to he better times for
the people of the colored race right
here in America. There ar three car

Service, said "'The average Negro
farmer must learn how to get II liv
ing out i'm the country. He must find
some better way to educate his chill
dren. He must have some real social
life He must find ways of cooper
ating with members of the white race.
The farmers are willing to join hands
with the ministers and teachers in find
ing constructive plans that will be OF
