RACE QUESTION DISCUSSED A T HISTORY CLUB HERBERT READS PAPER Is Optimistic And Says Danger Is Gradually Decreasing Each Year At the regular meeting of the Grad uate History club last Friday night, Mr. R. Beverly Herbert of the Colum bia bar read a paper on the race quest ion in the South. . He declared that the whites of the South have already been afraid of be ing exterminated, as a 'race, by the rapidly increasing number of negroes and he advanced the idea that this fear for the welfare of the race was one reason for the determination of the South to keep the negroes in a position of slavery as long as possible. He quoted from several letters of famous Americans to show that this view was entertained and that such a fear has always been present. Mr. Herbert presented statistics to show that this danger is decreasing in that the negroes are no longer increas ing as rapidly as are the whites. He attributes this fact to the move ment to town and to the North. In both of these places the death rate ex ceeds the birth rate and the greater the movement, the greater the decrease in the expansion of the race. After reading his paper Mr. Her bert answered several questions upon the subject. He is optimistic concern ing the fnal solution of the problem. The paper was one of the best that the club has recently had the privilege of hearing.
