Excerpt from Problems of the Present South: A Discussion of Certain of the Educational, Industrial, and Political Issues in the Southern States

The chapters just named, as well as those here published, have been written as already suggested from within the life. And thought of the South. They assume, however, no representative finality. They are not intended as an authoritative interpre tation of Southern opinion. Their essential conclu sions will be rejected by some forces within the South and accepted by others. Their service - if they are to prove of service at all will be found, however, not in the immediate evidences of agreement or dis agreement, but in such contributions as they may offer toward that slowly forming, collective verdict, in reference to Southern issues, in which the public Opinion of our whole country, North and South, will gain at length its rational and articulate expression. Popular judgments, operative as living social forces upon a large and inclusive scale, act and react upon the national character. To contribute, however in adequately or imperfectly, to their formation is a legitimate and honorable interest.

Excerpt from Problems of the Present South: A Discussion of Certain of the Educational, Industrial, and Political Issues in the Southern States

With two exceptions, the papers here included have been prepared for this volume and have not heretofore appeared in print. Even in these exceptional instances the chapters have attained only a small private circulation, and they are here presented in a somewhat altered form. While, therefore, the volume is thus so largely and so directly representative of matter that has not before found its way to print, I am aware that certain repetitions will be noted. These are chiefly due to the fact that the book has but one essential theme, and that each chapter is an attempt - from a somewhat different point of view - to discuss this one subject. The volume is an effort to contribute, from a standpoint within the life and thought of the South, to the discussion of the rise of democratic conditions in our Southern States. The problems of the South - industrial, educational, political - appear as phases of the essential movement toward a genuinely democratic order.

The limitations of space have made it necessary to postpone the discussion of some of the topics which it seemed desirable to include.
