DIR. R. R. MOTION URGES SOUTH
TO PROVIDE HIGHER EDU-
CATION FOR NEGROES.

Montgomery, Alabama.-In a con-
ference of Federal and State educa-
tional officials held here in the Sen
ate Chamber last week, DR.. R. R.
Motion, Principal of Tuskegee Insti-
tute, was invited to speak on the sub
ject of Negro Education, and in the
course of his remarks strongly urged
the South to make more provision
for higher education as well as bet
ter vocational training for Negroes
He said: The country at large is
suffering because OF the shortage OF
welI-trained teachers. and am glad
that the Federal Government. through
the Smith-Hughes Act. is cO-operat-
ing with State authorities in provid-
ing better teseher-training for both
colored and white people.
This leads me to refer to the gen
orally inadequate provisions made by
our own State of Alabama as well as
other Southern states for the higher
education of Negroes. most of whom
become teachers
MANY Of the Negro teachers in the
secondary schools and colleges Of
Alabama have, I dare say, received
their training in other states, but this
is not true. 1 judge. of the white
schools. 1t is my earnest hope,
therefore, that the day is not far dis
tant when Alabama win make the
same provisions for its Negro youth
as are made for its white youth in IN
stitutions like the University of Ala
hama and the State Polytechnic In
stitute Of Auburn.
1T is clear that the Negro is de-
termined that his children shall be
educated, and If this education cannot
be secured in his own state the chill

cannot but feel that IT IS the bnsi-
ness Of the state 10 provide ample op-

portunities for training all of its citi-
zens.
st is unfair to the Negro youth OF
the state that if they wish to secure
higher education they must attend a
private school here in the South or
go to a Northern school to get the
same sore of training that the state
provides for its white youth.
Every time young man or wom-
an of the Negro race goes North to
secure higher education the tempta-
ton to remain after the training is
completed is very strong, and in a
great many instances the Southern
schools are deprived of the benefits
of these well-trained and more intel
ligent citizens.
at requires some courage for a
man even though born in the South,
after spending four or FIVE years in
a Northern institution to come back
to section where he must pay first
class fare to ride in a second or third
class zach and frequently stand at the
ticket windows and wait until every
white person is served before he can
purchase a ticket If democracy
means anything, it means equal op-
portunities and equal protection for
every citizen, and am glad that there
is a large and rapidly increasing
group of the best white people of the
South who are determined that law
abiding, intelligent Negroes may live
in peace and security and may thereby
be enabled to contribute their fullest
share towards the highest develop
ment of the South"

social fabric of our race the spirit of
race advancement, and we see daily
a process of achievement that would
have made any one of these a dis

The performance seems to weigh
lightly upon us now because there is
