An educated man standing on the corners of your streets with his hands in his pockets is not one whit more benefit to society than an ignorant man in the streets with his hands in his pockets. It is only as the black man produces something that makes the markets of the world dependent on him for something, will he secure his rightful place. Eight years ago I could have shown you a colored community in Alabama that was in debt, mortgaging crops ; living from hand to mouth on rented land ; pay- i...ng fifteen to forty per cent, interest on advances for food ; school lasting three months, taught in a wreck of a log cabin ; people of all ages and sexes huddled together, often to the number of six or eight in one room, and without habits of thrift or economy. A little more than a dozen years ago, four teachers — one a carpenter and blacksmith, one trained in agriculture, one in cookery, another in sewing, combined with literary education — went to this community. Go with II me to that community to-day, and I will show you a large modern school-house, with school lasting eight months ; farms well cultivated and owned by colored people, who live in homes with two or three rooms.
