and ID circulars, special reports and
bulletins on the education of Negroes
have been published. These publica-
tions are listed in the Southern
Workman article.
In 1880 the Office of Education
created a new section devoted ex-
clusively to the problems of Negro
education. Various activities of this
new section are discussed. DR.. Cali
yer, who has charge of this work,
YER that he does not attempt to be
responsible for all the services which
the Office Of Education is called up
on to give to colored people. On he
contrarE his task is to use as many
specialists as possible in the prose
cution Of his work, and to focus their
expert knowledge, II their special
fields, On problems coming to him
also to encourage the inclusion Of the
Negro in as many of their regular
and special studies as possible.
In addition to disseminating exist
ing information concerning conditions
respecting the education of Negroes,
the Federal Office of Education
makes regular studies and special sur
veys with a view to increasing the
fund Of knowledge on the subject
Three such studies are in press now
A fourth is ready for press.
DR.. Caliver believes that one OF
the great needs at present is TO arouse
more interest and to increase the
professional outlook Of persons in the
field Of Negro education. He encour.
ages the seeking and requesting Of
information and aid. and a eontribut-
ing toward correcting some of the
faults in Negro education by prompt
response to inquiries sent out by the
Federal Office of Education.
Closing his article in the Southern

belief "that continued collection and
publication of important facts about
Negro education by the Federal Of.
flee of Education and other agencies
will furnish needed material for the
formulation Of policies in local
schools, communities and States. II
will afford a basis for comparison

(2) Communism.
(3) Reformed Democracy.

The conference is opposed to Fas-
cism because it would crystalize the
Negroes position at the bottom Of the
social structure Communism is i'm
possible without a fundamental trans
formation in the psychology and the
attitude Of white workers On the race
question and a change in the Negroes
conception OF himself as a worker. A
Democracy that is attempting to re-
form itself Is a fact which has to be
reckoned with. In the process Of re-
form, the interests OF the Negro can
not be adequately safeguarded By
white paternalism in governments. It
Is absolutely indispensable that ii this
attempt of the government to control
agriculture and industry, there be
adequate Negro representation on all
boards and field stats.
While the accomplishment Of these
larger aims cannot be achieved ex-
cept through the cooperation Of white
and black, the primary responsibility
for the initiation, development and
execution Of this program rests upon
the Negro himself. This is predicated
upon the increased economic independ-
ence Of the Negro. No matter what
articifical class difference may seem
to exist within the Negro group it
must be recognized that all elements
of the race must weld themselves to-
gether for the commo welfare This
point of view must be Underlined
through the churches, educational in
stitutions and other agencies work
ing in behalf Of the Negro The first
steps toward the rapprochement be-
tween the educated Negro and the
Negro mass must be taken by the
educated Negro himself.
The Findings COMMITTEES recon-
mends that the practical implications
Of this program be referred to a COM
mittee on continuation to be appoint
ed by and at this conference.
