He has nnd'ertaken to tt-aclr them trades. by which t'hey may become useful and imkpcnlent factors in the development of ihe iowth. 'Me saw that th:s was the way .to work out the race problem. There is no race problem in the farm- ma settlements ot any part' 01 tne country occupkd by the Hungarians the Germans. French or Norwegians, for instance, because these people ac quire property,; pursue imkpendtnl av ocahons. and1 become , a part ot tuc progressive development j of the differ ent communities, 'ror this Mr. wasn- insrton is equipoimi and pronosuiK to euip the youtvg jnen and. women of t ho colored race of the f South.

He? said that, Industrial edu- catronihaJ bn a success among the ncgroc A the South, so far as the work; pf the Tuskfgce institution was concerned.

What is more important, they learn how to make litems and to teach their i people at homeiialso in the- same lines. ; llwif. Stewart said: "There is no color: line to industry, poverty and wealthy If a mart has a bank account he iaJ respectod. no matter what the shade! of his skin." He went on to say that what the Tnskegvei institution's CTKteajroTing to do is to furtwsh the tutbs of the black race wrtlr an equip- mentfiof brain arxl hamf that will, give them etjual oipLrtunity with their white bro4hirs. 'i he . idea is not tv make then social equals; they are1 willing to rid.a (n the "Jim , Crow" cars, to have theirithndren attend schools apart from those' of the white children, and to be separate in vcial life- But if the black man can learn something that wdl make him a factor in the industrial cVxrlopment of the South, then he wilt fin a useful place and the race qujeston will fbe settltd. He said thvre was n.j race! que it ion heard of in the Sections of Uks country largely sctt'kd by the Norwutgiants. tine uermans, or the Itun trarians. This is from the' fact that these peoples acquire property, have in dependent avocations and pecome use ful factors in the industrial and nusiness lifd ha the commnnitles in which , they settle. Th'is is what is m-eded. for;thc blaclcs. . He illustrated the pcfint by leterring to an old negro in the South, withl several brick buildintr and a bank account, who, when he went to make his fdeposit, causrxr he banker to say. tliat the , rich old darkey came wearer maLimr him say. "Mister" than i any other darkey he ever saw. , The speak er said that people who live in Oregon ami are unacquainted with the condi tions in.

Soci'therncr to feelj lie sooke of a part .of the work at Tuskcgoe which is aimed to elucate thesi colored ministers of the Soith. It aims to put kki-s of practical Christi anity in them; to lake thie- place of thciir talk about the golden streets and about the nrilk and honey of the next world, while not being over-fastidious about the things m.this; aims to teach thej negroes that Christianity is net merely dressing up on Sundays and havimr little regard for their neighbors chicken roosts on week days- After Prof. Stewart was graduated at Tuskecee. 4ie went back to Wisconsin, where htr worked for a year and a nri Governor Hoard, having charge of one of Ms creanneries a part of the time.
