Excerpt from Difficulties, Complications, and Limitations, Connected With the Education, of the Negro Civilization certainly, Christianity probably, has encoun tered no problem which surpasses in magnitude or complexity the Negro problem. For its solution political remedies, very drastic, have been tried, but have failed utterly. Educational agencies have been very beneficial as a stimulus to self-govern ment and are increasingly hopeful and worthy of wider appli cation, but they do not cure social diseases, moral ills. Much has been written of evolution of man, of human society, and history shows marvellous progress in some races, in some countries, in the bettering of habits and institutions, but this progress is not found, in any equal degree, in the negro race in his native land. What has occurred in the United States has been from external causes. Usually, human development has come from voluntary energy, from self-evolved organiza tions Of' higher and higher efficiency, from conditions which are principally the handiwork Of man himself. With the negro, whatever progress has marked his life as a race in this country has come from without. The great ethical and politi cal revolutions of enlightened nations, through the efforts of successive generations, have not been seen in his history.
