“This volume, Mr. Page tells us, is in no sense an anthology ... it ‘attempts to give, for each one of the authors included, all the material needed to show his development and achievement, and to give a first knowledge of him as man and poet.’ The selection therefore, has been made very full, and includes many poems of considerable length.... The poems of each author are arranged in chronological order and dated. Brief biographical sketches present a summary of each author’s life, and there are notes and reference lists.”—Outlook.

“Mr. Page believes that there are only two possible ways to solve the negro question in the South—either the negro must be removed, or he must be elevated. Granted that the former method is out of the question, it only remains to improve him by education.... The old idea of educating the negro just as a white man is educated ... has been found to be fallacious. The kind of education that Mr. Page advocates for the negro is, in brief, just the kind that is given by such institutions as Tuskegee and Hampton.”—R. of Rs.
