Negro. Among these may be mentioned
special classes in this work at Howard University, conducted by
the Director himself last year, and at the West Virginia

has interested a larger number of more advanced students.
Institutions like Straight College, Fisk, Atlanta, Morehouse,
Wilberforce, and Lincoln are laying a good foundation in this
field.
