. What is perhaps one of the most. significant ex
periments in Negro education -in this eountry, is to
be l'ound at .Sedalia, ' North Carolina. In Palmer
Memorial Institute we find n type nt euhui-c adapted ?
to rural life after a fashion unapproached anywhere
in this country. Hitherto the emphasis on ^
Negro education has been decidely urban in its outlook
and possibilities;' but at Palmer .'we have l
something new?an attempt to adapt not only education
to definite'rural needs but there is the inception
of tin almost unicpie "rural culture, Th<Tc ~
is -nothing tlrab ,and col6rless about rural life if
ic can be inoculated with the Palmer typo of edu- (
cation. The various buildings are erected after a t
plan based upon the latest in landscape aichitec- ^
ture and the appointment of these buildings consti- i.
cues the last word in aesthetics and utility. When
an academic atmosphere is transplanted to a rural
section,_as has been" done at Palmer, there is an ini- f]
posing majesty surrounding the whole scheme of -j
things. At Palmer those young men and women ,,
are noc only given the essentials of practical art,
such as rural life demands, but" they are given the |
essentials of all culture. At Sedalia fine art parallel..

Everything is done ""exactly right" at palmer, with ,,
no allowance being nVade for the fact that Palmer ~
Memorial is a rural school. There is an air of '(
dignity- nd culture in the manners and amenities
of the life of the faculty. This faculty-m?one--of--y
the most representative-to be found in any Negro ,,
from somtwif the bcest Eastern universities, thevli
from somfe of the best Eastern unicersities, they
have a point of view that admirably adapts them r
to the work at Palmer.*.If there is.a student group 1 a
