EX-VICE PRESIDENT
FAIRBANKS SPEAKS AT
METHODIST CONFERENCE
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 22.—Patrick
J. Mavety of Cincinnati made an ad
dress at the Indiana Methodist con
ference Saturday afternoon, explain
ing the activities of the Freedmen’s
Aid society. He told of its various
schools, in which Negroes of the South
are educated, including a medical
school, trade schools and others, and
of the hospitals and other institutions
maintained by the society. He asked
for financial aid for the work.
Charles W. Fairbanks, who was in
the audience, was called to the ros
trum by Dr. Mavety for a few remarks.
Mr. Fairbanks responded.
“I have known of the situation of
our colored friends for many years,”
said Mr. Fairbanks. “The time was
when to feel an interest in the colorfd
men meant social ostracism. The first
Negro I ever saw was on my father’s
farm in Ohio.
“When a movement was started
here to build a Y. M. C. A. for colored
people there were some who said that
it would not be well to try to do much
for the elevation of the colored race.
But this view is wrong. Every effort
should be made in their behalf, for
the betterment of the colored race
aids in our civilization. No greater
work could be done than the work Dr.
Mavety is engaged in.” Mr. Fairbanks
paid a high compliment to Booker T
Washington.
He said there could be no greater
work than that in which Mr. Washing
ton is engaged for the uplift and bet
terment of the Negro.
