The causes of the migration have been in the main economic, but there can be no doubt of the fact that the negroes as a rule have taken advantage of the present opportunity to leave behind them poor schools, inadequate police protection, and exasperating farming conditions, under which many of them have labored for so many years. We at Tuskegee Institute have sought to j advise our people not to rush off to the North without being absolutely sure of the conditions under which they were to work. "At the same time we have tried i to impress upon the Southern white' people the necessity of a statesman-' like attitude if the remaining portion ' of the negro population is to be' made contented and serviceable. I am pleased to state that there has been a hearty response throughout the South. In many quarters,white farmers have been helping their struggling tenants by furnishing them seed, giving them free use of ? > -it? lana, ana in oiner ways ujaitiug n. easy for them to remain on the land and care for their families." When a Southern negro has sound reasons for believing that a change of residence to the North or West will improve his condition,he should make the change. He is under no more obligation to remain in the South than is a white man?and this country has. in every State,hundreds and thousands of white Southerners or their descendants. Were a negro to come to us, saying that he had received an offer of work in Pennsylvania, and asking advice about accepting it, we would advise him as we would a white man. So would any decent and honest white man advise him. We would tell him that the immigrant, white or black, had better be careful, had , I?:.

Where any man, of any color, after adequate investigation, is convinced that change of his residence will permanently improve his condition, it is his duty as well as his privilege, in the absence of good reasons to the contrary, to make the change. aL.
