Helping the Cause of
egro Education
E* " "" * " " JESSE Or THOMAS
The Tuskegee-Hampton-C&m--paign
is contributing -'quite as,
much toward stimulating inter-'
est in the-development of otherj
--insmution3 vof learning as welh
it?' '? as in the cause ef Negro educa
tion generally, as toward the financial
security of the two above :
named institutions of. teaming.
^ It is gratifying to know that:
~?? this endowmenti campaign was j
inaugurated largely as a'result
of the action of the General Ed-j
i ucafional Board-in requiring Tus i
kegee and Hampton to raise1
- eouEseOo:collegiate grade!
in. order to qualify for the $1,
000,000.00 gift from the Board
of Education. Because of thenecessity
of increasing the num-|
ber of te"atrhers-and-the amount
of equipment, the operating expenses
of the school* necessarily
- . - ---- - n'Ui iio-m-wtm';n]|y jpcroMsed. The
"~~~c"ampaign~appeal therefore is on;
behalf of strengthening the cotir-"
ses of Hampton and Tuskegeej
] and the money is being -gtven-jprimarily
for what has been call-,
ed, but is a "misnomer," higher
?education. The?more?educa-.

ation "as~being" eifKer hTgher or;
lower, one may have more education
or more extensive training
than another. However this^ is "
not the point at issue. The educational
features of the cam- "
. paign consist of largely of the
meetings in the homes of distinguished
citizens where a s?l?
oftt, number of prominent people are
invited. Dr. .^Moton invari-J
ably makes an appeal for Negro!

Many nf these meetings take the
complexion of a round table^xronference,
where questions are asked,
etc. Some one hqndred or
more business men, and women
of New York have laid down

tneir ousiness ana nave gone out
to retell the story, to the wealthy
public inJheir ac&ulnhtance. Never
before-in the history of our
educational development has
such a large-number of-ififluential
people given time and money
and definite consideration in a
very personal way to the cause
Of Negro education.
The value of an endowment
fund is in its impersonality. Because;
endowment funds are impersonal
they do not seek to conrroTor
dominate?institutions
that are the object of their beneficent
Very often jwhen_ individuals
give large contributions
they seek to control policies
of the institutions, to wjhicl)
they contribute. Not only hav^
white people different shades of
groes of all schools of thought
representing practically every
type of an institution of learning,
together with those not catalogued
as "school men" as such
are-cooperating most pleasingly
in all parts of the country. Negro
education is getting a boost
that it has never had to the
ferent angles and so wide-spread
in its influence as now.
