RACIAL EDUCATION
| DECLARED FAILURE
Speaker at Howard Says
System of B. T. Washington
Has Not Solved Problems.

Declaring that the industrial training
of the Negro as advocated by Booker
T. Washington had failed to settle
the colored mans problems, DIR. VIII
liam E. Burghardt Dubois of New York,
editor of the Crisis, in an address yes
terday afternoon at the sixty-flrst an
nual commencement of Howard Univer-
sity. urged an educational policy for that
race which would develop "a composite
leadership of men and women able to
do the work independent of other
racial organizations and cultured
enough to plan for future growth and
development regardless Of what course
white American may take"
DR.. Dubois said that the industrial
training of the colored people had
bridged the gap between slavery and
freedom, but that it had taught them
trades 1.-The technique of which now Is
revoIutionized by machinery, and agri-
culture in which occupation the in
dividual farmer now is being driven to
the wall"
'eTuskegee. Hampton and Howard"
he said, ARE unable to teach modern
technique. The industrial schools have
been transposed into colleges, and the
colleges have developed a white-collar
proletariat depending for their support
on an economic foundation which does
not exist. They have produced vulgar
exhibition of literary extravaganza,
stupidity and indifference, giving us
more than our share of plain fools
handing out knowledge-but what
knowledge?

Ance must develop a composite lead
