THE ADVANTAGE* OF AN ED - . UCATION. Tho poodle of today tbjt.k it ib very ufcessary for their children to have a c??o<l education s whereas uuiny Vnudrcrt y?a?-s ago they thought nothing of growing up and notbn'xv tng bnw~t.o do anything hut ravd, write ami a" Utile bit of arithmetic, while tho girl3 were only taught to do fancy work and sometimes reao i?n(l write a litt!e. Now both girls and boye. aro taught almost every language. nncicnt as well as modern^ history, geography and many other studies. There have been hundreds of collcgos built (or^Uo ? boys and girls, many of which are bo flx^d that the poorer class may como in, and (tomeluneu they ur? able to evfcn work their way through tho school At the present day every Slate has its own college which is rcii ou as cheap a plan as possible so as to place it within tho power of most pa> lent* to give their children the ad vantage of a collfgc education. Our colleges also offer scholarships which are gi?en to the girl or boy who stands the beat examination. This ttcholarslrp makes it even easier still for au ambitious child to enter col lege, at 4a yery small cost. ? Tho negroes too are beginning to appreciate the advnutages of an e<l ncalion. They attend fielr day, tchool very faithfully and many of them are j. fit as ambitious to enter college an i ho white boy or girl The public school* of tho pegroes are kept np by the money of the white people because so iew of their race pay taxes. Bat they have many col leges of their own -which are sup ported by Ihcmaolvea and some of their *hi?e friends.
