For interest, it is lure .quoted : | "A number of approaches ;o the i heart of the race problem have-been trkd; rel gjous, educational, politi cal, industrial, ethical, economic, so | ciologicul. Along all of these ap proaches considerable progtoss has i been made. Today a newer approach is being tried, an approach which dis cards most of the older methods. It j requires a minimum of pleas, or j propoganda. or philanthropy. It <!e | ponds more upon what the Negro' ? himself does than upon what some one aloes for him or even together | with him. It is the approach along | the lin" til' ntellectnal and artistic I achievement by Negroes, and may be I called the art approach to the Negro J problem. This method of approach j ing a solution of the race qustion I has the advantage of affording great 'and rapid progress with least fric tion and of providing a common plat form upon wh;ch most people are willing to stand. The results of this method may seem to carry a high degree of finality, to be the thing itself that was to be demon- I strated. ' "For many years and by many methods the Negro has been over- | coming the coarser prejudices ' against him; and when we consider how many of the subtler prejudices I have crumbled, and crumbled rapid ly under the process of art creation by the Negro, we are justified in | taking a hopeful outlook toward the 1 effect that the increase of recognized individual art'sts five-fold, ten-fold, twenty-fold, will have on this, one I of the most perplexing and vital questions before the American peo- I pie." The club adjourned to meet in 1 1 two weeks with Mrs. Hinton McLeod. ENJOYABLE MEETING OF I MUSIC LOVERS CLUB ( Mrs. J. M.
