An interesting pamphlet is that

As -inUreating/_ too is ahoth'ei
pamphlet accompanying it entitled,
"Schools-Money In Black and

be easily surmi*vd,ulu^.with eda-.
cation as concerns"tho Neglo. The""
pictures educational treatment
of the Ncgro as -ohtni ihmL jii t^he_
deep Sotlth arcanythihg but creditable
to those responsible for such:
particularly in the rural, sections.
"The South spends $44.31 pel
white pupil and $12.57.vper Negro
*e pupil" says the pamphlet. "Every
1 wfenth Pupil." Some of the states
p with 4uige _bJ ack pop illations- sliuWL
t even greater discrepancies. The
' S6uth as a whole spends more of
its taxes for public schools than
?_th?L Qthex sections, but most of it
go to. the ^ife~lartKKrbn?Bot-ovaix.
at that, it is tUC-behind tfae^aithiTF
sections in expericfilOYe per pupil.
- The safety gnd-^>ro8perit.y _nt: this
country depend upon- an educated
citizenry. There as the democratic
principle of equhl educational opBut
such an idea is*
not of the South. However since
education means so much for the
country as a whole, it should be
the duty of the- government to see
to it that every section should be
on an equal insofar as educational
facilities are concerned. This, oi
course, would mean the appropriation
of many millions of dollars
for the South to bring it up to the
national standard but there should
3 between the races. America
?should have no?such i-xuenditurc
for education as $44.31 for one
paipil and only $12.57 for the other.
There can be no justification of
such on any decent theory.

The attorney for the appealing

an. unusual proceeding.
but the case.fs a~n uijjmual one. The

asked many questions.-Alabama's

two lofty aims, lie walked three

throught school, in the meantime
supporting his invalid mother,
i'ln ough sthese hardships young
wi;gin ,-u\v?u bright future, tr
is- .-aid1 that General O. O. Howard,
connected with the FreVdmen's
Bureau, visited a school in Georgia;
made an encouraging speech
to tire .student body and asked
OYh it message shall I take to the
