Robert K. Moton. principal of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial in
stitute, and ii of the Wading negro
educator ill the country, id thrt
talks to negroes and whites in and
around Chapel Hill this afternoon
delighted u.tinU rs of both race with
his common sense doctrine on co
oiHiatinn between the races and his
platform ot hard work for the
iiesrocj.
Wi lt'onicd oa his arrival by scores
of his own :a-e v. ith waving Ameri
can iUss. 1i. Morton spoke Url at
the Oraiue county training school
for negroes near Chain-I ilill, ad
dressed audience of both rare
in the coioied Baptist rhur-li at
Chapel 1111 anil linMied his stay with
a talk t. hundreds of University ot
North Carolina students who crowi'.
ed (oTiaid hall and Intoned thoilght
lullv to his address.
Common sense and co-operation
w-re the key notes of all three talks.
Dr. .Morten dismissed social equality
;is a myth. said that virtually no
negroes wanted it or thought about
ft. ami paid nearly nil his attention
iti a pun tii-.il handling of present
conditions.
"The nemo lace in the South has
advanced further than any similar
number of negroes anywhere on the
globe." he s-aid. "because it has had
the privilege of coming into contact
with the white people of the 8011th
To the Southern white people we owe .
our language and our religion, all
that we have learned and all that we
have advanced in civilization.
"There is room for both races in
the South. Greater industry. Greater
co-operation anions negroes, and
hard, intelligent work will be the
salvation of the black race. The ru
ral sections of the South are the best :
places for lit groe to live. Negroes
haw shown that they can farm suc
cessfully. I hope none of them will
do it in the future."
To university students, l'r. Mor-,
ton said frankly that in coming
years he hoped they would help the
black race even as Southern whites
had alwavs helped. "I hope that
you gentlemen will continue your
, kindness and fairness toward an In
ferior race. I hope that in the fu
ture equality of industrial opportuni
ty and absolute fairness and justness
, before the law will always be ac
corded the negroes."
Dr. Morton, who came to Chapel I
Hill under the auspices of the state ;
department of education, said that
the recent general assembly had set'
a mark for all Southern stales In Its
generosity toward the negro.
