ABSTRACT
The Association has never been foolish enough to believe that any race could be educated by the missionaries of an outside race. Every race must educate itself; must provide its own leadership. That is true of China, of Japan, and of the South. The Association is not only convinced that the Negro is capable of the higher education, but that we are under democratic and Christian obligation to give it to him, and that only thus can we educate the educators, teach the teachers and lead the leaders, which an aspiring race demands. Th1:Y has become especially imperative on account of the new race consciousness and faith in themselves which is the inevitable product of the education afforded during the last .fifty years. It is always dangerous to the supremacy of a nJling race to bring education to the exploited-it is only more dangerous not to.
