THE RISING TIDE OF COLOUR
THE suggestion that the white and black races of the world may be merged as one before many centuries have passed was made before an Aberdeen gathering of the British Association by Lord Raglan, llic noted anthropologist, says the "Daily Mail." Lord Raglan's suggestion was made in the course of a discussion on an address by' Captain R. S. Rattray, of Winslpw, Buck-, inghamshire, who proposed that anthropologists should invite the '■o-operation of the negro races in their study. Lord Raglan said that some time ago he had heard an Amen-, .■■■sn professor state that there was perhaps not a single pure-blood I'i'gro in the State?. Many whites also had a proportion of negro Llood in them. ■ "I believe that it. follows liiat before many o'euturics elapse '.here will not be a single person in the United States without a' i-erlain proportion of negro blood. "Although the merging of the two races will not happen in Africa nearly so soon, the Euvopeani«ilion of Africa is going on. ■md nothing, will stop it."
