PROBLEMS FOR THE | Named by the People. SOUTHERN WHITES Booker T. Washington Tets League for Political Educa- tion About Care and Educa- tion of the Negro. Booker T. Washington made the prin- cipal address at @ meeting of the League for Political Educatlgn to-day. Mr. Washington is President Tuske- gee Institute, and the foremost of those of his race engaged in negro sduca- tional work. He spoke of the problems confronting the white ‘people of the rountry with relation to the care and education of the negro. Some extracts from his remarks follow ‘Besides many reasons why the South favored industrial education, coupled with Intellectual and moral training, many of the Sovthern whites saw that the negroes who were master carpenters and contractors under thelr masters, could become still greater factors in the development of the South !f their children were not too suddenly removed from the atmosphere and occupations of thetr fathers, and {f they could be taught to use the thing In hand for a foundation for future growth, “A large element of the South favored manual training for the negro, because they were wise enough to see that the South was largely free from the re- etrictive Influences of the trades-unions and that such organizations were likely to gain little hold in the South @ long as the negro kept abreast in intelligence and skill with the same class of people elsewhere “In this connection T want to call at- tention to the fact that the official records show that within a year about 1,090,009 foreigners came into the United States. Notwithstanding this number, Practically none went into the Southern States; to be more exact, the records show that In 1892 only 2,278 all told ginta.
