D., of Georgia, who resigned the office when he became a -Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Since 1891, the duties -of a General Agent have been discharged by Dr. J. L. M. CURRY, of -Washington, D. C., Chairman of the Educational Committee. - - - - - ANNOUNCEMENT. - - -The Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund propose to publish from time to -time papers that relate to the education of the colored race. These -papers are designed to furnish information to those who are concerned in -the administration of schools, and also to those who by their official -stations are called upon to act or to advise in respect to the care of -such institutions. - -The Trustees believe that the experimental period in the education of -the blacks is drawing to a close. Certain principles that were doubted -thirty years ago now appear to be generally recognized as sound. In the -next thirty years better systems will undoubtedly prevail, and the aid -of the separate States is likely to be more and more freely bestowed. -There will also be abundant room for continued generosity on the part of -individuals and associations. It is to encourage and assist the workers -and the thinkers that these papers will be published. - -Each paper, excepting the first number (made up chiefly of official -documents), will be the utterance of the writer whose name is attached -to it, the Trustees disclaiming in advance all responsibility for the -statement of facts and opinions. - - - - - OCCUPATIONS OF THE NEGROES. - - -The statistics of occupations used in this paper are from the Census of -1890, and represent the status of the race on June 1 of that year. The -Census takes cognizance only of “gainful” occupations, excluding from -its lists housewives, school children, men of leisure, etc. Its -schedules deal only with wage-earners, those directly engaged in earning -their living. - - - GENERAL STATISTICS. - -In 1890, out of a total population of 62,622,250, 22,753,884 persons, or -34.6 per cent., were engaged in gainful occupations. Of the negroes, -including all of mixed negro blood, numbering 7,470,040, 3,073,123, or -41.1 per cent., were engaged in gainful occupations. The proportion was -much greater than with the total population. This total population, -however, was composed of several diverse elements, including, besides -the negroes themselves, the foreign born (of which a large proportion -were adult males), and the native whites. The following table presents -the proportions of each of these elements which were engaged in gainful -occupations: - - _Proportion._ _Per Cent._ - Total population 34.6 - Whites 35.5 - Native whites 31.6 - Foreign born 55.2 - Negroes 41.1 - -The diagram No. 1 sets forth these figures in graphic form. The total -area of the square represents the population. This is sub-divided by -horizontal lines into rectangles representing the various elements of -the population, and the shaded part of each rectangle represents the -proportions engaged in gainful occupations. - -The proportion was greatest among the foreign born because of the large -proportion of adults, and particularly of males, among this element. -Next to that, the proportion was greatest among the negroes, being much -greater than among the whites collectively and still greater than among -the native whites. - -Classifying the wage-earners of the country in respect to race and -nativity, it appears that 64.5 per cent. were native whites, 22 per -cent. were of foreign birth, and 13.5 per cent. were negroes. - -Analyzing the statistics of occupation by sex, it is discovered that the -proportion of native white males who had occupations was 53.4 and of -females 9.4 per cent. The corresponding proportion of male negroes was -56.3 per cent. and of female negroes 26.0 per cent. The male negroes -were slightly more fully occupied than were the native whites, while -among females the proportion of wage-earners was much greater. The -difference between native whites and negroes in the proportion of -wage-earners was, therefore, due mainly to the fuller occupation of -women. To put it in another form: Out of every hundred native whites who -pursued gainful occupations, 85 were males and 15 were females. Of every -hundred negroes, 69 were males and 31 were females. Indeed, a larger -proportion of women pursued gainful occupations among negroes than in -any other class of the population. - - - CLASSIFICATION OF OCCUPATIONS. - -The primary classification of occupations made by the Census recognized -five great groups, as follows: 1. Professions; 2. Agriculture; 3. Trade -and transportation; 4. Manufactures; 5. Personal Service. These titles -are self-explanatory, with the possible exception of the last class, -which is mainly composed of domestic servants. - -[Illustration: - - Proportion of the Population and its elements, which were engaged in - gainful occupations in 1890. - - Diagram No. 1. -] - -[Illustration: - - Classification of the Wage-earners by Race and Nativity and by - Occupations. - - Diagram No. 2. -] - -The following table shows the proportion of the negro wage-earners -engaged in each of these groups of occupations. In juxtaposition, for -comparison, are placed similar figures for the native whites and the -foreign born. - - _Native White._ _Foreign Born._ _Negro._ - _Per Cent._ _Per Cent._ _Per Cent._ - Professions 5.5 2.2 1.1 - Agriculture 41.0 25.5 57.2 - Trade and transportation 17.0 14.0 4.7 - Manufactures 22.9 31.3 5.6 - Personal service 13.6 27.0 31.4 - ————— ————— ————— - 100.0 100.0 100.0 - -Similar facts are shown by diagram No. 2. In this the total area of the -square represents the number of persons in the country pursuing gainful -occupations. This is divided into rectangles by horizontal lines, the -rectangles being proportioned respectively to the numbers of the native -whites, the foreign born, and the negroes. The sub-division of these -rectangles by vertical lines indicates the proportion in each group of -wage-earners. - -The most striking facts brought out by this table and diagram are that -only a trifling proportion of the negroes were in the professions, that -much more than one-half were farmers, and nearly one-third were engaged -in personal (mainly domestic) service. Indeed, over seven-eighths of -them were either farmers or servants. The proportions engaged in trade -and transportation and in manufactures were very small. In respect to -the farming class, they contrasted sharply with the foreign born. In -trade and transportation and in manufactures the contrast was even -greater, in the contrary direction. The foreign born contained a much -larger proportion of professional men. - -Comparing the negroes with the native whites, equally interesting -contrasts appear. Professional men were much more numerous among whites -than among negroes. The proportion of the farming class, although much -smaller, was nearer that of the negroes than was the same class among -the foreign born. In trade and transportation and in manufactures the -native whites had much greater proportions, while in personal service -the proportion was much less than that of the negroes. - - - MALE AND FEMALE WAGE-EARNERS. - -It will be interesting to analyze these figures further. The following -table classifies negro wage-earners by occupation and by sex, giving for -each sex the percentage engaged in each group of occupations: - - _Male._ _Female._ - Professions 1.2 0.9 - Agriculture 63.4 44.0 - Trade and transportation 6.8 0.2 - Manufactures 7.0 2.8 - Personal service 21.6 52.1 - -These figures are also illustrated by diagram No. 3, the area of which -represents all negro wage-earners. The two rectangles into which it is -divided represent the males and females; each of these is sub-divided -into rectangles representing the number in each group of occupations. Of -the male negro wage-earners, more than three-fifths were farmers and a -little less than one-fourth were servants. The two classes jointly -accounted for nearly 85 per cent. of all. - -Of the females, considerably less than one-half were farmers and more -than one-half were servants—the two classes together accounting for 95 -per cent. of all. This large proportion of female negro farmers was -doubtless made up in the main of women and female children employed in -the cotton fields. - - - NUMBER OF WAGE-EARNERS. - -The following table, abstracted from the Census publications, shows the -number of negroes in all occupations and in each of the five great -groups of occupations by sex and by states and territories: - -[Illustration: - - Classification of Negro Wage-earners by Sex and Occupation. - - Diagram No. 3. -] - - NEGROES. - - ─────────────────────┬───────────────────┬─────────────────── - │ All Occupations. │ Agriculture, - │ │ Fisheries, and - │ │ Mining. - ─────────────────────┼─────────┬─────────┼─────────┬───────── - │ Males. │Females. │ Males. │Females. - ─────────────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼─────────┼───────── - THE UNITED STATES.│2,101,233│ 971,890│1,329,584│ 427,835 - ─────────────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼─────────┼───────── - 1.

This proportion was greatest in the states and -the territories of the west. Following these are the northeastern -states, while the lower part of the column is made up of the states in -the upper Mississippi valley and those of the south. - - - OCCUPATIONS BY GROUPS OF STATES. - -The distribution of wage-earners among the five occupation groups -differed widely in different parts of the country. To study it, it will -be sufficient to group the states and analyze the statistics of each -group. - -The groups which will be used here are those which have been in use in -the last two censuses—namely, the northeastern and southeastern, north -central and south central, and western groups. The states and -territories of which each group is composed are shown in map No. 5. - -Examination of the states forming the above groups will show that the -groups are in many respects very characteristic. The southeastern and -south central groups contain nine-tenths of the negroes of the country. -These states may be said to constitute the home of the negro, while in -the northern and western states he is an immigrant. - - - OCCUPATIONS BY SEX AND STATE GROUPS. - -Diagram No. 6 shows the distribution by sex and by groups of states of -the negro wage-earners. It appears that in the northeastern, -southeastern, and south central groups two-thirds of the wage-earners -were males and one-third were females, while in the north central and -western groups about five-sixths were males and one-sixth only were -females. This is in part due to the disproportionate number of males in -these parts of the country. - -Diagram No. 7 shows the distribution of the negro wage-earners, -classified by sex, among the five occupation groups and by groups of -states. The length of each bar represents 100 per cent., and each bar is -divided proportionately among the different occupation groups. Thus from -it we read that in the northeastern states 15 per cent. of the male -wage-earners were engaged in agriculture, 56 per cent. in personal -service, 16 per cent. in trade and transportation, 12 per cent. in -manufactures, and 2 per cent. in the professions. - -It is seen that a far larger proportion of male wage-earners were -engaged in agriculture in the southern states than in the northern and -western states, the proportion in the two groups of the former states -being 64 and 71 per cent., while in the northeastern states only 15 per -cent. were engaged in agriculture, in the north central states 26 per -cent., and in the western states 17 per cent. - -In trade and transportation the highest proportion was found in the -northeastern states, where it was 16 per cent.; in the north central -states it was 14 and in the western states 10 per cent., while in the -southeastern states it was 7 per cent. and in the south central states 7 -per cent. - -Of course, the magnitude of the proportion in the northeastern states is -due to the fact that this is the commercial and manufacturing section of -the country, where a large proportion of all the population is engaged -in these avocations. The same is the case, though in less degree, in the -north central states, while the southern states are almost purely -agricultural. The figures relating to manufacturing occupations show -similar characteristics. It will be noted that in the northern and -western states the occupations of the negroes were more diversified than -in the southern states. Agriculture and personal service in the -northeastern states occupied but 71 per cent. of all wage-earners, in -the north central states they occupied 75 per cent., and in the western -states 81 per cent., while in the southeastern states these two -occupation groups comprised 84 per cent. and in the south central 88 per -cent. of all. - -[Illustration: - - Distribution of Occupations by Sex and Sections of the Country. - - Diagram No. 7. -] - -[Illustration: - - Proportions of Males and Females among the Negro Wage-earners. - - Diagram No. 8. -] - -The diagram shows in a similar manner the distribution of the female -negro wage-earners. There were engaged in agriculture in the northern -and western states but a trifling proportion of negro women, while in -the southern states as a whole nearly one-half of the female negro -wage-earners were engaged in that avocation. On the other hand, personal -service occupied fully nine-tenths of the female wage-earners in the -northern and western states, while in the southern states less than -one-half were engaged in it. Indeed, 94 per cent. of the female -wage-earners of the west were engaged in personal service, 91 per cent. -in the northeastern states, and 87 per cent. in the north central -states. In trade and transportation the proportion was trifling, and in -manufactures it was small, although much larger in the north and west -than in the south. - -Here, also, we see that agriculture and personal service occupied nearly -all wage-earners—91 per cent. in the northeastern states, 96 per cent. -in the southeastern states, 89 per cent. in the north central states, 97 -per cent. in the south central states, and 95 per cent. in the western -states. Occupations were slightly more diversified in the north and west -than in the southern states, as was the case with the males. - - - OCCUPATIONS BY STATES. - -It will now be of interest to extend this study in detail by states, -but, in doing so, the study will be confined to the southern, the former -slave states, which are, in a sense, the home of the negro, and in which -more than nine-tenths of them live. In most of the northern states the -number of negroes is so small that any conclusions drawn from statistics -regarding them are worthless and are likely to be misleading. - -Diagram No. 8 shows the distribution by sex of the negro wage-earners of -these southern states. The total length of the bar represents in each -case all the wage-earners, the white portion representing the males and -the shaded portion the females. - -This diagram shows that the greatest proportion of female wage-earners -is in the District of Columbia, where it is nearly one-half of all negro -wage-earners, and the least in West Virginia, where it is less than -one-fifth of all. In most of the cotton states it ranges from one-fourth -to one-third of all negro wage-earners. - -Diagrams Nos. 9 and 10 present the proportion of male and of female -negro wage-earners who are engaged in agriculture, personal service, and -other occupations in the southern states. - -The first of these diagrams, representing male wage-earners, shows that -agriculture and personal service accounted for from 63 to 94 per cent. -of all male wage-earners. Indeed, excluding the District of Columbia -from consideration, from 73 to 93 per cent. were accounted for by these -two occupations. - -Again excluding the District of Columbia, which is not a farming -community, the male wage-earners who were farmers constituted in the -different states proportions varying from 36 per cent. in Missouri to 85 -per cent. in Mississippi. The proportion of farmers was highest in the -cotton states and decidedly less in the border states. On the other -hand, the proportion of males engaged in personal service was least in -the cotton states and increased decidedly in those further north. - -The second diagram, illustrating the occupations of female wage-earners, -has certain features in common with that relating to males, but these -features are more accented. In the cotton states a large proportion of -the female wage-earners worked in the fields, and was therefore reported -as engaged in agriculture, while in the border states but a small -proportion was found there. On the other hand, domestic service claimed -nearly all female wage-earners in the border states, but in the cotton -states a relatively small proportion. - -Both the diagrams, and especially the first, show an important feature. -In the cotton states wage-earners were almost entirely either farmers or -those engaged in personal service, but in the states farther north these -classes were relatively smaller and occupations were somewhat more -varied. - -[Illustration: - - Proportions of Male Negro Wage-earners engaged in Agriculture, - Personal Service and other occupations. - - Diagram No. 9. -] - -[Illustration: - - Proportions of Female Negro Wage-earners engaged in Personal Service, - Agriculture, and other Occupations. - - Diagram No. 10. -] - - - OWNERSHIP OF FARMS AND HOMES. - -The statistics of farm and home ownership and of mortgage indebtedness -of the Eleventh Census throw some light upon the pecuniary condition of -the negro race. - -The total number of farms and homes in the country in 1890 was -12,690,152, of which the negroes occupied 1,410,769, or 11.1 per cent. -The proportion of negroes to the total population was at that time 12.20 -per cent., showing a deficiency in the proportion occupying homes and -farms when compared with the population. - -The number of farms in the country was 4,767,179. Of these, 549,642, or -11.5 per cent., were occupied by negroes, being a proportion greater -than that of farms and homes combined. - -The number of homes, as distinguished from farms, in the country was -7,922,973, of which 861,137, or 10.9 per cent., were occupied by -negroes, being a proportion less than that of farms and homes combined. - -Of the 549,632 farms in the country occupied by negroes, 120,738, or -22.0 per cent., were owned by their occupants. The corresponding -proportion for whites was 71.7 per cent. Of course, as regards tenants, -the reverse was the case, the proportions being for whites 28.3 per -cent, and for negroes 78.0 per cent. More than three-fourths of the -farms occupied by negroes were rented; in other words, more than -three-fourths of the negro farmers were tenants, while less than -one-fourth of the white farmers were tenants. - -Of the farms owned by the negroes, 90.4 per cent. were without -incumbrance. Of those owned by whites, 71.3 were without incumbrance, -showing a much larger proportion encumbered than among those owned by -negroes. - -Of 861,137 homes occupied by negroes in 1890, 143,550 were owned by -their occupants and 717,587 were rented, the proportions being 19.0 per -cent. and 81.0 per cent. Corresponding proportions for whites were 39.4 -per cent. and 60.6 per cent. Of the houses owned by negro occupants, -126,264, or 87.7 per cent., were free and 12.3 encumbered. Corresponding -figures for whites were 71.3 and 28.7 per cent., showing, as before, a -much greater proportion of free holdings among negroes than among -whites. - -Diagrams Nos. 11 and 12 summarize the above facts in graphic form. The -total areas of the squares represent the number of farms and homes -respectively, those occupied by whites and negroes respectively being -represented by the rectangles into which the squares are divided by -horizontal lines. The vertical lines sub-divide these rectangles into -others proportional to the numbers occupied by owners without and with -incumbrance, and by renters. - -The male negroes occupied in agriculture numbered, in 1890, 1,329,584. -Of these, 510,619 occupied farms, the remainder, 818,965, being -presumably farm laborers. The negro farmers, _i. e._, occupants of -farms, constituted 38.3 per cent. of the male negroes engaged in -agriculture, leaving 61.7 per cent. of the number as laborers. The -corresponding figures for whites were 60.4 per cent. and 39.6 per cent. -The proportion of negroes engaged in agriculture who were farmers—_i. -e._, occupied farms—was, therefore, much smaller than that of the -whites. In spite of this low comparative showing, however, it must be -agreed that, considering all the attendant circumstances, the proportion -of negro farm occupants—more than one-third of all negroes engaged in -agriculture—is unexpectedly large. - -Summing up the salient points in this paper, it is seen that in the -matter of occupations the negro is mainly engaged either in agriculture -or personal service. He has, in a generation, made little progress in -manufactures, transportation, or trade. In these two groups of -occupations, males are in greater proportion engaged in agriculture and -females in domestic service. They have, however, during this generation, -made good progress toward acquiring property, especially in the form of -homes and farms, and, in just so far as they have acquired possession of -real estate, it is safe to say that they have become more valuable as -citizens. The outlook for them is very favorable as agriculturists, but -there is little prospect that the race will become an important factor -in manufactures, transportation, or commerce. - -[Illustration: - - FARMS. - - Diagram No. 11. -] - -[Illustration: - - HOMES. - - Diagram No. 12. -] - - - JOHN MURPHY & CO., PRINTERS, - BALTIMORE. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES - - - 1.

The proportion was much greater than with -the total population. This total population, however, was -composed of several diverse elements, including, besides the -negroes themselves, the foreign born (of which a large proportion -were adult males), and the native whites. The following -table presents the proportions of each of these elements which -were engaged in gainful occupations:</p> - -<table class='table1' summary=''> - <tr> - <th class='c006'><i>Proportion.</i></th> - <th class='c008'><i>Per Cent.</i></th> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class='c007'>Total population</td> - <td class='c014'>34.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class='c007'>Whites</td> - <td class='c014'>35.5</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class='c007'>Native whites</td> - <td class='c014'>31.6</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class='c007'>Foreign born</td> - <td class='c014'>55.2</td> - </tr> - <tr> - <td class='c007'>Negroes</td> - <td class='c014'>41.1</td> - </tr> -</table> - -<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_6'>6</span>The diagram No. 1 sets forth these figures in graphic form. -The total area of the square represents the population. This -is sub-divided by horizontal lines into rectangles representing -the various elements of the population, and the shaded part of -each rectangle represents the proportions engaged in gainful -occupations.</p> - -<p class='c010'>The proportion was greatest among the foreign born because -of the large proportion of adults, and particularly of males, -among this element. Next to that, the proportion was greatest -among the negroes, being much greater than among the whites -collectively and still greater than among the native whites.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Classifying the wage-earners of the country in respect to -race and nativity, it appears that 64.5 per cent. were native -whites, 22 per cent. were of foreign birth, and 13.5 per cent. -were negroes.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Analyzing the statistics of occupation by sex, it is discovered -that the proportion of native white males who had occupations -was 53.4 and of females 9.4 per cent. The corresponding -proportion of male negroes was 56.3 per cent. and of female -negroes 26.0 per cent. The male negroes were slightly more -fully occupied than were the native whites, while among females -the proportion of wage-earners was much greater. The difference -between native whites and negroes in the proportion of -wage-earners was, therefore, due mainly to the fuller occupation -of women. To put it in another form: Out of every -hundred native whites who pursued gainful occupations, 85 -were males and 15 were females. Of every hundred negroes, -69 were males and 31 were females. Indeed, a larger proportion -of women pursued gainful occupations among negroes -than in any other class of the population.</p> - -<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Classification of Occupations.</span></h3> - -<p class='c013'>The primary classification of occupations made by the Census -recognized five great groups, as follows: 1.

This proportion -was greatest in the states and the territories of the west. Following -these are the northeastern states, while the lower part -of the column is made up of the states in the upper Mississippi -valley and those of the south.</p> - -<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Occupations by Groups of States.</span></h3> - -<p class='c013'>The distribution of wage-earners among the five occupation -groups differed widely in different parts of the country. To -study it, it will be sufficient to group the states and analyze -the statistics of each group.</p> - -<p class='c010'>The groups which will be used here are those which have -been in use in the last two censuses—namely, the northeastern -and southeastern, north central and south central, and western -groups. The states and territories of which each group is -composed are shown in map No. 5.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Examination of the states forming the above groups will -show that the groups are in many respects very characteristic. -The southeastern and south central groups contain nine-tenths -of the negroes of the country. These states may be said to -constitute the home of the negro, while in the northern and -western states he is an immigrant.</p> - -<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Occupations by Sex and State Groups.</span></h3> - -<p class='c013'>Diagram No. 6 shows the distribution by sex and by groups -of states of the negro wage-earners. It appears that in the -northeastern, southeastern, and south central groups two-thirds -of the wage-earners were males and one-third were females, -while in the north central and western groups about five-sixths -were males and one-sixth only were females. This is in part -due to the disproportionate number of males in these parts of -the country.</p> - -<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>Diagram No. 7 shows the distribution of the negro wage-earners, -classified by sex, among the five occupation groups -and by groups of states. The length of each bar represents -100 per cent., and each bar is divided proportionately among -the different occupation groups. Thus from it we read that -in the northeastern states 15 per cent. of the male wage-earners -were engaged in agriculture, 56 per cent. in personal service, -16 per cent. in trade and transportation, 12 per cent. in manufactures, -and 2 per cent. in the professions.</p> - -<p class='c010'>It is seen that a far larger proportion of male wage-earners -were engaged in agriculture in the southern states than in the -northern and western states, the proportion in the two groups -of the former states being 64 and 71 per cent., while in the -northeastern states only 15 per cent. were engaged in agriculture, -in the north central states 26 per cent., and in the western -states 17 per cent.</p> - -<p class='c010'>In trade and transportation the highest proportion was found -in the northeastern states, where it was 16 per cent.; in the -north central states it was 14 and in the western states 10 per -cent., while in the southeastern states it was 7 per cent. and -in the south central states 7 per cent.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Of course, the magnitude of the proportion in the northeastern -states is due to the fact that this is the commercial and -manufacturing section of the country, where a large proportion -of all the population is engaged in these avocations. The -same is the case, though in less degree, in the north central -states, while the southern states are almost purely agricultural. -The figures relating to manufacturing occupations show similar -characteristics. It will be noted that in the northern and -western states the occupations of the negroes were more diversified -than in the southern states. Agriculture and personal -service in the northeastern states occupied but 71 per cent. of -all wage-earners, in the north central states they occupied 75 -per cent., and in the western states 81 per cent., while in the -southeastern states these two occupation groups comprised 84 -per cent. and in the south central 88 per cent. of all.</p> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/i_012a.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -<div class='ic001'> -<p>Distribution of Occupations by Sex and Sections of the Country.<br /><br /><span class='right'>Diagram No. 7.</span></p> -</div> -</div> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/i_012b.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -<div class='ic001'> -<p>Proportions of Males and Females among the Negro Wage-earners.<br /><br /><span class='right'>Diagram No. 8.</span></p> -</div> -</div> - -<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>The diagram shows in a similar manner the distribution of -the female negro wage-earners. There were engaged in agriculture -in the northern and western states but a trifling proportion -of negro women, while in the southern states as a whole -nearly one-half of the female negro wage-earners were engaged -in that avocation. On the other hand, personal service occupied -fully nine-tenths of the female wage-earners in the northern -and western states, while in the southern states less than -one-half were engaged in it. Indeed, 94 per cent. of the -female wage-earners of the west were engaged in personal -service, 91 per cent. in the northeastern states, and 87 per -cent. in the north central states. In trade and transportation -the proportion was trifling, and in manufactures it was -small, although much larger in the north and west than in -the south.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Here, also, we see that agriculture and personal service -occupied nearly all wage-earners—91 per cent. in the northeastern -states, 96 per cent. in the southeastern states, 89 per -cent. in the north central states, 97 per cent. in the south -central states, and 95 per cent. in the western states. Occupations -were slightly more diversified in the north and west -than in the southern states, as was the case with the males.</p> - -<h3 class='c012'><span class='sc'>Occupations by States.</span></h3> - -<p class='c013'>It will now be of interest to extend this study in detail by -states, but, in doing so, the study will be confined to the -southern, the former slave states, which are, in a sense, the -home of the negro, and in which more than nine-tenths -of them live. In most of the northern states the number -of negroes is so small that any conclusions drawn from statistics -regarding them are worthless and are likely to be misleading.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Diagram No. 8 shows the distribution by sex of the negro -wage-earners of these southern states. The total length of the -bar represents in each case all the wage-earners, the white portion -representing the males and the shaded portion the females.</p> - -<p class='c010'><span class='pageno' id='Page_14'>14</span>This diagram shows that the greatest proportion of female -wage-earners is in the District of Columbia, where it is nearly -one-half of all negro wage-earners, and the least in West Virginia, -where it is less than one-fifth of all. In most of the -cotton states it ranges from one-fourth to one-third of all -negro wage-earners.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Diagrams Nos. 9 and 10 present the proportion of male -and of female negro wage-earners who are engaged in agriculture, -personal service, and other occupations in the southern -states.</p> - -<p class='c010'>The first of these diagrams, representing male wage-earners, -shows that agriculture and personal service accounted for from -63 to 94 per cent. of all male wage-earners. Indeed, excluding -the District of Columbia from consideration, from 73 to -93 per cent. were accounted for by these two occupations.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Again excluding the District of Columbia, which is not a -farming community, the male wage-earners who were farmers -constituted in the different states proportions varying from 36 -per cent. in Missouri to 85 per cent. in Mississippi. The proportion -of farmers was highest in the cotton states and decidedly -less in the border states. On the other hand, the proportion -of males engaged in personal service was least in the cotton -states and increased decidedly in those further north.</p> - -<p class='c010'>The second diagram, illustrating the occupations of female -wage-earners, has certain features in common with that relating -to males, but these features are more accented.

The proportion of negroes -engaged in agriculture who were farmers—<i>i. e.</i>, occupied -farms—was, therefore, much smaller than that of the whites. -In spite of this low comparative showing, however, it must be -agreed that, considering all the attendant circumstances, the -proportion of negro farm occupants—more than one-third of -all negroes engaged in agriculture—is unexpectedly large.</p> - -<p class='c010'>Summing up the salient points in this paper, it is seen that -in the matter of occupations the negro is mainly engaged either -in agriculture or personal service.
