ii, ‘ THE EXODUS OF THE NEGRO
There ttasbpcff mttch said and written about the
exodus of tho n«4to from the southern country points
farther north. While no doubt, there has been a
large number to leave this section, yet the total \w l
hot materially affect conditions in the south. It will
have a tendency to stir our people to the realization
of- their responsibilities and cause them to take on
more of the actual work which has been performed
by the negro through a custom which has been
handed down to us for these many years. The going
of the negro will eventually mean the coming in of
substantial and thrifty farmers from.other sections ot
the country and the result will be most gratifying
and profitable to all section.- so affected. .
. Reports show that the negro is not faring so well In
hbrthcrn climates and that many of them are_return-
iliff to their former homes and employers. They ttre
not satisfied with conditions in eastern'and western
states and tho people in those states are irot satisfied
with the negro. They do not understand the negro
and his peculiarities nor does the negro of the-south
understand the characteristics of tho white man of the
north. These conditions, will soon settle the exodus
question and in a few years the negro will be home
coming, and glad to get back. That is if there be a
place for him at that time.
An interesting rcporLof statistics on the negro has
1 recently becii issued by I’rof. Walter F. Wilcox, of
Cornell University. He goes into the negro problem
Quite freely and his compilations show that the ne-
gro if. dying rapidly in the eastern and western states
and that tho death rate far exceeds that of the birth
rath. Here ere a few figures from Prof. Wilcox s
statistics taken from an exchange that will be of in-
tercst*
“The census figures compiled by Prof. Wilcox
show .that in New England there arc 135 deaths
among'the negroes to 100 births. In New York six
j nenrhes die to every one born; in Pennsylvania there
deaths to one birth; in Michigan the rate is 17
to one birth; and in Minnesota 65 negroes.die
one is born. At such rates as these, how long
