Meeting Present Problems

OUR readers cannot fail to find increasing interest as they become familiar with the life and educational work of Booker T. Washington, whose address before the Twentieth Century Club of Boston is found in another column of this issue.

Those who realize the urgency and complexity of the colored race problem in this country, are very thankful that so much of practical wisdom, Christian manliness, and straightforward good sense should be evidenced by one to whom the accomplishment of so great an undertaking seems to have been committed.

To the great Southern educational movement, which is enlisting the active interest of both the Christian culture, and the capital of the North and South, and which is begetting a spirit that has been described as akin to that of a religious revival, in the spiritual earnestness which dominates it, Mr. Washington gives promise of making a contribution, the beneficent outcome of which no man can estimate.
