of race life which has hitherto remained unexplored and neglected.

NOTES


In the death of Booker T. Washington the field of history lost one of its
greatest figures. He will be remembered mainly as an educational reformer,
a man of vision, who had the will power to make his dreams come true. In
the field of history, however, he accomplished sufficient to make his
name immortal. His "_Up from Slavery_" is a long chapter of the story of
a rising race; his "_Frederick Douglass_" is the interpretation of the
life of a distinguished leader by a great citizen; and his "_Story of the
Negro_" is one of the first successful efforts to give the Negro a larger
place in history.

Doubleday, Page and Company will in the near future publish an extensive
biography of Booker T. Washington.

During the Inauguration Week of Fisk University a number of Negro scholars
held a conference to consider making a systematic study of Negro life. A
committee was appointed to arrange for a larger meeting.

Dr. C. G. Woodson is now writing a volume to be entitled "_The Negro in the
Northwest Territory_"
