NEGRO RACE IN AMERICA IS HUNDRED YEARS
AHEAD OF RACE IN OTHER PART OF THE WORLD

Atlanta, Ga Especial. )-That the
Negro in America is in every way a
hundred years ahead Of the natives OF
South Africa is the statement OF Dr..
James Henderson, a noted educate.
from that country who is spending a
few months in America in the study
of race relations and Negro educa-
ton. This IS due, he said, to the facs
thar the American Negro came much
earlier into contact with Christian
civilization and has had far greater
opportunities for educat on and self
development. He was particularly i'm
pressed with the economic progress
which the race has made in this coun
try, which he said was far beyond any
thing he had expected.
Dr. Henderson has given his life tC
the education Of the natives of Brit,
ish South Africa having been for
many years principal of I.ovedalc In
sti.ute the great African Tuskegee,
missionary institution with a faculty
of go and student body of 900. While
in Atlanta he visited a number of Ne
gro colleges and was greatly pleased
with them commenting most favor
ably on fine equipment competent
and devoted teachers and intelligent
students. A number of welltrained
American Negroes, he said. are rend
er'ng fine service in Africa as teach
ers and social workers. Wherever
they have been tried they have made
goou. was his emphatic testimony He
believes that the number of sucr
workers will greatly increase and
that in this way the educated Ameri
can Negro is destined to make grea;
contribution to Africa's development.
Tie good will work of the Inter-rac-
ial Commission, of which he had
heard in Africa where its methods are
beg ming to be adopted, interested
DR.. Henderson greatly. The problems
of race relations, he said are much
more difficult there than here. and
mu; h further from solution. 1t was
his opinion that the progress of the
Am 'rican Negro is setting a new
standard for the world in the develop
ment Of backward peoples.
