When it is remembered that all of these are7 colored men and | women, working udder the direction j of colored presidents, we must agree Ithat^these colleges now represent thfL edueational leadreship of the Race in jthis Country. The faculties, however, are yet fST too., small and the proportion of well-tridned teachers is not as large as it should be. These colleges have shown great desire and capacities to serve the people. Recently every effort has-been put forth to meet the urgent demand for pior,^ and better teachers for pubTic schools in urban and rural communities. The people are woefully in need' of trained teacers for their schools, and the Land-Grfint Colleges are endeavoring to meet this stragetic opportunity of vast importance thru their normal schools and the summer schools for teachers. No greater service- could b'e rendered America* Democracy than this, as the LambGrant College is the logical head oT the State .public school system in I li ii liiiiii' a ' " ; v. ^ ?-?-- ' ^T TOttPAIMlT , fiJjj/Tost^ every instance. If it be true, 1 as Wells remarks in his "Outlines of < History" that "Education is the fine 1 net which Democracy fishes for human 1 i tnlanti" thnn. ikvdeea seem vMry^j&rnrJ I portant' that those who manipulalte * the nets should be well-trained andj 1 there should be a sufficient number j* ["working among the Kegro people in J order that no talent be lost. A strik- < ! ing evidence of this may be seen in < th? following-: The Atlanta rnnsU.U.n. A j tion, one of the leading journals of the i South, recently gave an account of 5 a young man, Walter Curry-, -who. had ' taken the civil service examintyrioh. N John" Curry, Walter's father, was in- p j terviewed concerning his son's sue- j' i cfess^. in the examination. "How did 1 I your'Son 3ucceed*Hrr- his recent exam- * I illations," he was asked. "He was a t little off in grammar," was the reply" ' "How did- he stand in arithmetic?" * "lie-'fell -below the required mark." "What did he do ip geography ?" "He ^ I was short." "Did u>- ? ? ..X- munc AC All Ilia- I jtory?" "He was short there, J.00." t "How about spelling?" "Ha., failed' ? outright." "What will your son do 1 now?" "Why," replied the elder Mr. Curry, "he hiy? decided to teach." ^ .Unfortunately, Curry is still on the * joh,, in y too many places, not as a s -mml-carrier, but as a teacher.' preach- ^ or and leader. A nation which, lets "J incapables teach it, while the capable ^ num and women only feed, clothe UlUl "7 suicide. SlhjCe the Atlanta Conference oth- s ers have,been held, at Nashville in^? ,1922; at Washington in 1923; at j Hampton- in 1924; at Greensboro in j' 1925, and our'"present gathering. . Out j 8 of' these have developed movements 0 introducing the Senior and Jun:or!c high schools and the Senior Junior 11' Colleges into their educational plan. " Executives have , appfoeed suggested ? Treasures- "for?standardizing ""trollebes ~ and high schof courses. . Furthermore the Negro Land-Grant Colleges have universally coordinated on these fundamentals: 1. Efficient elementary schools, housed in_svptable buildings, taught, by competant-^ teachers. 2,. The dcvelopement of ele- A montary and high schools to remove, ; a Constant threat of trouble, and furnish suitable material for the "Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges. 3. the elevation ot tnese- Colleges to the 1, work ot College grade, and the conferring of proper degree's upon graduates from four year College Courses.

Fifteen 6f ? these Colleges are centers of Exten- ^ sion Work in Agriculture and Home i Economic:' umler-thp ^mitn-Lcyer Act ^ in cooperatibn with the white' A. & ^ M. Colleges. Sixteen -of them have ^ revenues from the Smithrllughea.-Act Agriculture', /Trades, and, Home Eco- ^ nomics; pryfiaring teachers of these subjects fpr the public schools and in some instances supervising their j WUl'li. ? ??. t \ In addition the Negro Land-Grant Colleges are being rapidly equipped * and operated so as to give as much "Liberal Education" as tins si hie nlrnu* * with' voc&Ctoffal training and special- J ized* teaching. Culture and refinement] } are not being overlooked. In this con-'^ nection, South Carolina has seen- fit ^ to-equip tbe~ alidHorium of the Negro j * Iland^Grand College with a modern (^ I>ipe organ esoting more than four- V teen thousand dollars. - ? j < Model school buildings are -being erected iij" conection with normal de-;?^ partments-; for it is genarallly ?on-,^ iluded that ^ucees^Tttmchihg can best i < he carried on by those professionally ? trained._ Teachers of Agriculture,!^ Tlomn?Kconninies, ami the M^Chahic * Arts-m-ft not exceptions. ...

They arc coopern-1 ' ting with , the Presidents to-fill teach- * ing staffs with able men and women ti land npport them in the developerrient ' ! of their depart merits. In this way; ! these colleges are becoming "centers, i of mutual understanding between the ^ Ltwo races"" encouraging "Negro peo- j i pie to prosper nt material as well as I spiritual." / v Negroes are coming to look to the I liHrifl.Prnnt Pnllnf*flo ?' ^ and cope ration to their awn advantage ? and the advancement of educational j ] 'progress, Everywhere movement is) 7 -directed toward establishing intimate 4 relationship between these institu-1 tipns and their communities through extension courses and opportunities 4 j for1 students other than those regu-jV larly enrolled. 1 I In this connection they are contri- ?i buting in a larger measure to the de-1 ^ velopement of "the natural resources 1 ; of the South, by a deeper interest in ? Vocational agriculture, trades and i 4 industries and home economics.. These j are bound to have a favorable jnflu-.* ence on all phases of the economic life * of the South, 'raising the eka^dani ment of character, a higher sense of 4 thrift and honesty, a higher respect for law and order. . * While ther has been ' criticism of i the work of these colleges in years 4 gone by and in some instances from sources which are supporting educa- " 11 V?\ " 4 .

"Colleges," says Emerson, "can only IJ serve us when their's is not to drill, ? >ut to create, to bring every ray of J' varied genius to their hospitable halls 1 iy their consumed influence to set the* leart of youth in flame. "In human j) ife, there is no substitute for in-' elligence but it is not enough that ? he educator should love intelligence;!) t is necessary allso tha the should ? lave the right contention of human * xcellence. We want*artists but we vant also plow men and engineers j * ind bakers. We need minds trained * o deal with books but we need them 1 ilso to deal with nature and human- < ty. As t othe last, again in Emerson's i vords: "Free should the scholar be? > ree and brave.,, "Give him a mes- ^ age to speak to other men, and ( vhen he leaves your care you need ? car for htm neither the wbrld-nor the ' lesh nor the devil."
