A lOitCE FOR SOUTHERN IIF!l LTI

In the fifty years of its service Me
hurry College, OF Nashville, has sent
out nearly $500 graduate Negro physi
clans, 500 dentists. and a number OF
nurses, to fight the appalling losses
human and economic, caused by i'll
ness among the Negroes Of the South.
They are making good in every state
many of them having the cooperation
and hearty goodwill OF the white
physicians Of their communities; and
some of them are rendering fine serv.
ice in promoting n better understand
ing between the races.
Both races are thus concerned in
the recent gifts of half II million dol
lars to the institution from Northern
boards-gifts which emphasize both
its thorough work and the Grea mess
Of the need it is trying to meet. Anoth
or half million will put the college
in class A., and furnish the eight mil
lion Negroes in the South with at
least one school Offering first.class
preparation TO their doctors, dentists
and nurses. In view OF the loss from
preventablc illness among the Negro
cs, running yearly close to 100000 900
and the danger and trouble from the
same source which overshadows the
homes of both races. the success OF
the Meharry drive" for the addi-

and practical concern to whites as
