Atlanta Committee, in Survey of
Negro Exodus, Submits
Report
ATLANTA, Sept. 4. —Negroes
are not alone in leaving the farms,
but the white people are also mi
grating to the cities, the City Club
was told at its meeting just held
here by Joel Hunter, well-known
business counsellor, who, as chair
man of a club committee which
has made a survey of the exodus
■ of negroes, read a report of the
committee’s findings.
The committee did not recom
mend any steps for checking the
migration, and went on record as
opposing any efforts to arrest the
movement if the present labor sit
uation confronting the South can
be bridged.
The committee agreed that the
negroes best friend is the south
erner, and that he is better under
stood in the South.
Tenant farming and the one
crop system were mentioned as the
chief causes why the negro is quit
ting the South, while better school
facilities and better wages were
mentioned as “magnets” drawing
the negro to the north.
The report contained the veiled
hope that the South would benefit
by the exodus. One so-called
benefit that may come out of it,
the report said, may be to drive
th# southern white youth back to
the farm, and make farming a
more popular calling.
In prefacing his report, Mr.
Hunter explained that the commit
- tee composed of seventeen mem
bers had worked for almost two
months in making the survey and
that it had been face to face with
many contradictory opinions.

Even Greek and Armenian Trad
ers Have Given Effort in
Black Sea bection, Says
LONDON, Sept, 4.—i-South Rus
sia at present, oners no goiuen op
portunities lor American business
men, according to John H. Lang,
of Seattle, wno recently passed
through this city on his way home
after 18 months in Odessa and oth
er Black Sea ports, where he was
in charge of port operations tor
the American Relief Administra
tion, .
“There is practically no trade on
the Black Sea,” said Mr. Lang.
“Even Greek and Armenian trad
ers have given up in despair, and
everyone who knows the Black
Sea realizes that when these trad
ers find unsurmountable obstacles
to commerce, there must be some
thing serious the matter.
“The new economic policy of the
Soviet was heralded as a long ex
pected loosening of government
control, and when it was inau
gurated more than a year ago the
people had great hopes that a new
era was drawing in communistic
Russia. But such hopes were soon
dashed.
“After shopkeepers had opened
their stores with what little stock
they could get, they found that the
government officials were waiting
only for trade to be resumed to
impose ruinous taxes. These taxes
made business impossible for shop
keepers, for importers and ex
porters alike.”
UNIVERSITY HEAD PANS
METHODS OF TEACHERS
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 4.
Public sphool teachers should lay
more stress upon the greatness of
God and the goodness of home and
not rely too much upon text books,
Dr. H. A. Morgan, president of
the Uniyersity of Tennessee, has
declared in his mesage to the Mont
gomery County Teachers Institute
here.
Public school officials present
showed much interest when the
educator asserted that “school con
ditions in Tennessee are worse now
than they have been in twenty
five years.”
Teachers of rural schools are
spending too much time teaching
commerce, he asserted, thereby en
couraging students to leave the
farm and got ot the city to take up
commercial life.
Agriculture is one of the chief
subjects which should be taught in
rural schools, as the boy in his
early age should learn the germi
nation of seed and the cultivation
of these crops upon which the
world subsists, and the girl needs
to be taught the science of do
mestic economy and all such things
which tend to fit her for a suc
cessful housewife, he declared.
The state should establish con
solidated schools, surrounded by a
few acres of land upon which dem
onstrations may be conducted and
a cottage for the teacher built, as
a means of ipmroving educational
possibilities, De Morgan, said.
The teacher and his wife, he add
ed, should be prepared th* teach
pupils the real essentials of life, not
alone by theory, but in a prac
tical way.
