Excerpt from A Select Bibliography of the Negro American: A Compilation Made Under the Direction of Atlanta University; Together With the Proceedings of the Tenth Conference for the Study of the Negro Problems, Held at Atlanta University, on May 30, 1905 The editor would welcome specific criticism especially on omissions and the inclusion of improper titles. A study of human life to-day involves a consideration of conditions of physical life, a study of various social organizations, beginning with the home, and investigations into occupations, education, religion and morality, crime and political activity. The Atlanta cycle of studies into the Negro problem aims at exhaustive and periodic studies of all these subjects so far as they relate to the Negro American.
