EQCAMTV.' f>r. BnoKer T. Washington Gives True lecture of the Self-Respecting Col ored Men anil Women ? Hn< iaj Bet terment Their Aim. 1 "The average white man in the United States," says Booker T. Washington, in the January World's Work, "has the idea that the average Negro spends most of "inTTTme "foe-" moaning the fact that he is not a v/hite man, or in trying to devise some way by which he will be per mitted' to mingle, in a purely social way, with white people. This is far from the tiruth.. "In intercourse with all classes of 1 the Negro, North and South, it is a rare occurrence when the matter of getting away Prom the- race, or of Social intermingling with Ihe white 1 people, is ao much as mentioned, ft :s especially true that the intelligent Negroes find a satisfaction in social intercourse among themselves that is rarely known or understood by any ] one outside the Nogro race. In their ^ family life, in the secret societies and churches, as well as other organ izations where colored people get to gether, the most absorbing topic of conversation invariably relates to ( some enterprise ror the betterment of the race."
