  The Arena

  This item is a hard copy of The Arena magazine which is a “monthly review of social advance” edited by Paul Tyner. This magazine is published by The Arena Company out of Boston, MA. The item included is volume XXI, number 4, published in April of 1899. The section I am discussing is titled Impossibility of Racial Amalgamation written by W. S. McCurley. During this section, on page 455, McCurley states, “We must then do our duty, make the best we can of the negro. Education and cultivation will not hurt him.” This statement shows the motivation towards encouraging education for African Americans during this time. McCurley believes that it is their duty to make the best they can out of African Americans. This shows a need for bettering their society and education and cultivation can help achieve that goal.
