Since that time another highly significant movement has arisen. In 1907 Miss Jeanes, a wealthy Quakeress of Philadelphia, gave $1,000,000 for the encouragement of Negro primary education. She placed it in the hands of Dr. H. B. Frissell of Hampton and Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee. In the organisation of the board for the control of this fund and its work, a further step forward in nationalisation and, indeed, in the direction of democracy, was made. It marks a new development in the coöperation of all the forces for good in the solution of this difficult national problem. The membership of the board includes not only Southern and Northern white men, but also several leading Negroes. The president and general director is a Southern white man, coming of an old family, James H. Dillard, dean of Tulane University of New Orleans. It will be of interest to publish here a full list of the members, because they represent, in more ways than one, the new leadership not only in the South, but in the nation: Southern white men: James H. Dillard, President. David C. Barrow, chancellor University of Georgia. Belton Gilreath, manufacturer and mine-owner, Alabama. Dr. S. C. Mitchell, of Richmond College, Richmond, Va. Northern white men: Robert C. Ogden, of New York. Andrew Carnegie, of New York. Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia. George McAneny, president of the City Club of New York. William H. Taft, of Ohio. To these must be added: Dr. H. B. Frissell, of Hampton Institute, a Northerner, whose work and residence has long been in the South. George Foster Peabody, treasurer, a Georgian, trustee of the University of Georgia, who resides in the North. Walter H. Page, the editor of the _World's Work_, a North Carolinian who has long lived in the North. Negro membership: Booker T. Washington. Bishop Abraham Grant, of Kan. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute, secretary of the board. J. C. Napier, a banker of Nashville, Tenn. R. D. Smith, a farmer of Paris, Tex. In a true sense the Southern Education Board and the Jeanes Fund Board represent organisations of working idealists. Such coöperation as this, between reasonable, broad-minded, and unselfish men of the entire country, is, at the present moment, the real solution of our problems. It is the solution of the Negro problem--all the solution there ever will be. For there is no finality in human endeavour: there is only activity; and when that activity is informed with the truth and inspired with faith and courage, it is not otherwise than success, for it is the best that human nature at any given time can do.
