Scientific Education

The education that the American Negroes
most need for the next fifty or one hundred
years should be mostly, but not exclusively,
along scientific and industrial lines. When I
say scientific, I mean science so applied that
it will enable the black boy who comes from a
plantation where ten bushels of corn were
being raised, to return to the farm and raise
fifty bushels on the same acre.
