DICKINSON-VIRGINIAN Ability, originality, and dependability, are some of the qualities that go to make up a good leader In electing Cornelia Dickinson editor-in-chief of the Virginian, we realize that we have chosen one who will till this place efficiently. Cornelia always lit- in wherever she is placed, and we know that the Virginian next year, will he one of the lust yet.

THE INTER-RACIAL MOVEMENT. There is a movement on loot throughout the South, to better the relationship between the Flacks and whites. The coin ill given here Saturday evening, April 4th. by the Petersburg Normal and Industrial School and the essay contest concerning the relationship of blacks and whites, are for this purpose. Speakers are adsing audiences throughout the South, on this subject and inter-racial student groups have met for the promotion of understanding. Dr. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia, recently expressed his v lew s upon the subject. The article concerning his .speech. >\.i- taken from one of the daily newspapers of the State. "Ignorance i> no remedy for anything," I'resilient Alderman, of the University of Virginia, told an audience in the home of John Hays Hammond in discussing the negro problem ami urging support of the Hainpton-
Tuskegee endowment fund. "It is my belief," continued Dr. Alderman, "that tin' steeled policy of the Southern States, where the masses of roes live, toward this backward people should he. and is growing to he, more and more, a scientific habit of investigation as to the facts of his progress, coupled with an intelligent and sympathetic interest in his development." Dr. Alderman quoted John Morley as having once said that the negro problem was practically unsolvable, hut that sensible men must continue to face it resolutely, quietly and justly. The main point of the matter, he went on. was that ignorance is no remedy for anything, a quotation from the late J. I.. M. Curry. He continued: "The best Southern thought on this matter is neither optimistic nor pessimistic, hut watchful ami steady. The point of view likely to prevail finally is the point of view th.it given foremost place to the Negro as an industrial asset, and to the standards of American character as affected hy his presence in the largest self-governing undertaking of the white race." "The hardest experience! of the negroes ari' vet tO<be, for the world will demand of them that they develop not only manual and industrial power, hut these moral qualities necessary to win freedom through competition and sill effort. In no other vv ay can freedom he won hy a man of a race." In conclusion, 1 >r. Alderman said: "Speaking as the president of an ancient university which is seeking to train leaders of the while race in BO cial sympathy for nun of all (lasses and conditions, in economic understanding, in scientific methods ami in philosophic thinking, 1 express the hope that this movement started b) I lamp ton and Tuakegee will go forward to lUCCeSS, and that Hampton and Tiiske gee as the main educational reliai of the colored race in this country will in placid mi solid and enduring foundations."

COMPLETELY A total oi 9,012 different books were published during 1924, according to statistics compiled for the April International Hook Review by F. I.. Wood ward. For convenience these books are divided into twenty-three classes. Fiction, it is stated, leads in point of numbers, having a total oi 1,226, representing 871 new books, 350 neweditions, and five pamphlets, which is a gain of 14'i over the output of 1923, and giving a proportion of 13.6 per cent, of fiction to the world. This per centage is the same as lor 1920, and is larger than for any intervening year since 1908. (if the total of 1,226, there were 846 American authors, 270 foreign authors, whose books were made in America. and 111) imported editions, according to a further capitulation. Theology and religion the second largest class, closed the year with 809 titles, including 657 new books. 51 new editions, and 114 pamphlets—a gain of 89 over tin- figures of 1923. Threefourths of these books were by American authors. Next to theology, in point of numbers, according to the statistics, comes the department of poetry and drama, with 731 entries, divided into 505 new books. 11 new editions, and 154 pamphlets—a gain of <>4 over the figures of 1923. 'Idle high water mark in this group, it is asserted, was reached in 1914, when (»<l_> were recorded, and this was the culmination of a substantial
development which began as long ago as 1898. Science occupies the next place on the list with 645 entries which includes however, only /mathematical and physical science.

Hi1 was asked to bring in at the succeeding meeting a paper in support of his view, while a colored student was asked to prepare a paper on the other side. With much interest the group looked forward to the expected debate. At the next meeting of the committee the white student was called up.m for his paper. He replied, "1 haven't any.
