Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Progress of the Negro Race I am of the opinion that this report should have been printed for distribution at this Congress, but I have had no encouragement to do so, and did not care to undertake so much except by order of the Executive Committee. Should it still appear advisable to print it, I have other facts and figures in my office that might make it interesting and helpful in the study of the race problem. Since my election to this position four years ago, by a full Board while the last Congress was in session, I have kept this work on my mind and gathered material of all kind as I have traveled over the country, but I have not made a supreme effort for statistics until within the past few months, because I was advised by the Corresponding Secretary not to start my work until so ordered by the Executive Committee. A few months ago the Corresponding Secretary then reported to the Executive Committee that it was too late to get up any statistics, but the Committee felt otherwise, and hence I come before you to-day with a report that is not what I could have made it if adequate clerical help had been furnished me. As it is, I have had next to no help at all, and all of the hard calculations I have had to make myself, for I felt I might make better calculations than a clerk who would be paid only a pittance. If this work has not had the proper encouragement from the executive officer of the Congress. I cannot say the same for any other parties with whom I have had dealings, for our entire race seem to be deeply interested in securing facts upon the progress and hindrances of our people. I especially desire to express my thanks to the Hon. S. N. D. North, Director of the Census, who hurried off to me as often as necessary registered pouches of his publications; to the Hon. Lovick Pierce, Acting Commissioner of Education for the United States; to the various State Superintendents of Public Instruction in the South who were uniformly considerate, and to State Auditors, most of whom were very obliging, and to State Insurance Commissioners; to statistical secretaries or responsible parties of all the denominations; to all the agencies at work in elevating our race (except one or two), and to the American Baptist Publication Society of Philadelphia by whose kindness I have been enabled to devote so much of my time to this work.
