THE NEGRO IN AMERICA.
When the first census of the
United States was taken in 1790
one person iii every five was u
* negro, or, to be more exact, 19.8
per cent. Two years ago, when
the 14th census was taken, one
person in every ten was black.
The facts are interesting, for
they show that in spite of fhe
well known fecundity of the
black race it is not increasing so
rapidly in this country as the
white race is. The white people,
of course, have added millions to
their number by immigration and
other millions through the offspring
of immigrants, whereas
the colored race has had alomst
no increase of that sort, llut the
process was noticeable even before
the great tide of immigration
began in the '40s.
In the 50 years between 1790
and 1840 the proportion of whites
in the population of the country
rose from 80.7 per cent to 83.?
per cent. In the half century between
1870 and 1920 it went from
86.2 to 89.7 per cent.?that is, it
. rose more rapidly but not more
steadily than in the earlier period.
A still more remarkable fact
brough out by the census is the
gradual shifting of the negro
< population from South to North.
The five States of South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana, where the
negroes are most numerous, actually
had 37ji)00 fewer black persona
in 1920 than they had in
1910. The five States of New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
andlllinois had 320,000 more.
The negro, like the white man,
begins to show a tendency to
leave the farm for the city ami
I the factory. With the movement,
perhaps largely because of it,
^P^nomes a diminishing colored birth
ratb^ which, according to the cen.
sua authorities, is not yet offset,
as it is in the case of the white
raee, by a greatly diminished
death rate. It seems reasonable
to believe that the colored race
will not thrive so well in the colder
elimate of the North and' under
the confining conditions of
Industrial life as it has on the
/plantations of the South, but the
northward drift is unmistakable.

JUNE IS HERE! ^
June is here! the very time a X
feller loves to say, "1 really can't
do any work, this here's the V
month for play. Oh! there's clo- *
vei in the meadows, bees a buz- (j
zin' all ubout, and the fragrance s
of those blossoms can't be beat, (]
beyond a doubt. *
Oh! the grass is green and vel- f
vet like, the skies are chiny blue. V
There's a longing all the day to
loaf, and I love to loaf, don't I
you? There's kites to fly, and A
mumble-peg is all the style just
now, and lots of fun with "sum- '
mcrsaults"- up in the old haymow.
The water's warmer every day,
we sneak off one by one, and
hunt the swimrain' hole a while,
then dry off in the sun! Oh! the
splashin' of the water where the
pool is dark and deep is the beatin'est
of music that could lull you
clean to sleep!
The circus, too, has been to
town, 1 wislit you'd seen the
clowns, all dressed in funny colors,
red and whites, and blacks
and browns. The acrobats was
wonderful, the animals was rare,
that's why we like to try their
tricks out. in the open air. We
walk the ropes, skin the cat, and
stand each on his head. Te best
stand each on his head.-The best
of all the bunch, of course, is
Enoch Dangle's Ned.
That ain't the best yet?listen.
Not loaf in', swimmin', ho, can't
give the joy of one grand thing, ~
1 guess you'll think it's so. Past
arc the days of 'rithmetio, of joggefy,
and working (not that our j
crowd is noted as the ones that's fa
worst for shir kin') but best of all ?
the Jutie time's joys, there'a not c;
a speck of doubt, is just the hap- ]t
piest knowledge that our district tl
school is out. ' a
