majority, but It forms n movement that
"innM be held in cheek. Its members arc
fit. rcvcngeftil. They complacently
look-forward to riots nnd trouble. It Is
this we with to prevent.
Chance for Understanding
"We feel there Is a splendid chance
to reach nn understanding between tho
races to bring about working rela
tions, and to mako for tho betterment
of conditions for the Negro. Our com
mittee is only two months old. At our
lst meeting we discussed segregation,
Prominent and educated Negroes on the
commlttco told us their pcoplo preferred
iking to themselves, having their own
toclal life, their own churches, schools
nnd meeting places. Hut In most dis
tricts where Negroes arc expected to
live, houbing conditions aro so bad that
no decent Negroes want to live there.
How ran there bo uplift; how cun you
cipect them to bo clean nnd decent when
rtu give them filthy places to dwell?
"Thero nro fifteen colored schools
In Philadelphia, where there, are hun
dreds of Negro children. Negro popula
tion here has Increased almost four times
as much as tho white population, ac
cording to reports from Washington,
for the last ten years. This Is duo,
Hftthtirinns believe, to the tact Ihnt
Philadelphia needed Negro workers) as
laborers more during the Inst few
lears than over before. Mony of the
S'egro residents nro homer owners here
to 6tay, nnd they fill nn Impoitont place
in our industrial life. With the halt
of foreign Immigration tho need for
Nero labor has increased.
"Illiteracy la decreasing In the Negro
rnco by jumps. Last year there were
152 Negro graduates from our higher
colleges. When Negroes were emanci
pated OS percent were illitcrntc. In
1010 this percentage had decretive! to
30. I do not know more recent figures,
but undoubtedly these latt few yours
baii meant even Greater progress. Vir
tually all tho educated colored folk ro
turn to help educate their own people.
They want to rniso tho standards for
their race. They do not want to inter
marry with tho wblto race.
Color Not Chief Objection
"So mnny are apt to judge the whole
Negro race by its servant and criminal
c'.&sb. That io as unfair as judging our
own peoplo by the lower classes. If you
eamo in contact with Negro artists,
poets, talented men and women gradu
ates of Harvard or other higher col
leges, I bcllove color would not make
io much difference.
"Tho lntcr-rncial rommltteo of Phila
delphia is not organized with tho idea
of radically changing conditions here, 'it
is to dovi'lon confidence and understand
ing among Its Negro and white members
first. We hopo these feelings will later
prend from our members to others uud
gradually includo all tho thinking peo
Pie of both ruccs. Wo meet to discuss
freoly difllcult points of rnco contact.
Segregation, education, welfare work,
industrial rohitiouH, social relations all
bes- nro subjects of intense importnnco.
' .Something of today's situation is
strained up by Daniel A. Urooks, of this
city. Ho anys Negroes of Pennsyl
vania are unltod In the beliefs that tho
munition of thousands of rural Ne
jroea into this stato may inspire hostile
nd prejudicial sentlmeut which, If un

Tho Philadelphia Operatic Society
gavo what was ono of the best bal
anced performances of Its career when
It presented John Philip Sousa'a comic
opera, "El Capitan," at tho Academy
of Music last evening under the baton
of tho composer before a large, en
thusiastic and highly entertained aud
ience. "El Capitnn" is above all things a
frnnklv comic onorn of Hufflclcnt com
plexity of plot to nvoid Uie silly nnd
yet not sufficiently so to reaulro nuy
analytical powers on the part of tho
audience. The music which Mr. Hpusa
haB composed for the opera la entirely
in keeping with the libretto nnd is typ
ical of the work of tho American march
king; In fuct, the murch rhythm occu
pies n very conspicuous placo in tho
mimlrnl KPlipmo nf tho onern.
It was ctrcedlngly well acted nnd
sung. Relnhold Schmidt took thu part
of El Capitnn, n role made famous by
Do Wolf Hopper many yearB ago, nnd
did It splendidly. Hla singing was
good, his acting very amusing and his
enunciation of words notn spoifn unu
sung wns clear. Ills presentation of
the part would have done credit to any
professional operatic comedian now on
the stago.
Frederick W. Wyatt plaved the other
comedy part, that of the lloyul Cham
berlain, in about ns good stjle us Mr.
Schmidt did the title role. Roth were
exceedingly funny in the parts nnd yet
they were not overdone. J. llurnett
Holland made u fearsome insurgent,
with tho right amount of Hwnggcr and
burying Tho other male part-, while
not ko importnnt as thete, were nc
ceptablv performed and wing.
The three femalo characters were nil
very well taken. inennn .ueiroso
made n very perbonable and attractive
Extrelda, with n true and clear voice,
positions.
