MIS- SCELLAN N EOUS
Education in the South.

The New York Tribune speaking upon this
subject, gives interesting comparisons. We
extract:
The fact forced emphatically on the North
ern mind has has been the ignorance Of the
Negroes, and their demand for education to
protect them against the craft of the white peo-
pie, and to prepare them tor their new duties
and privileges in the State But it
should not be forgotten that the ''poor whites"
of the South, including the great mass of the
Southern people, are as ignorant as the blacks,
have been purposely kept in ignorance, as the
blacks were, for social and political ends, and
are as helpless Intellectually as the blacks are.
The South had no common schools, no free
schools for any class, white or black. The ff-
teen Slave States educated but one in thirteen
of their population; the nineteen Free States
educated one in four and four hfths. Virginia,
with population Of | ,596, 3l8, supported 3, ,778
public schools; Massachusetts, with a popula-
ton Of ,23l ,066, maintained 4,l34; Iowa, a
State 20 years old, had in 1860, 1886 free
schools for her STA, ,948 people North Carroll
ma, one of the original thirteen States, had at
the same date 1894 schools for her 992, 622
people. The young Western State educated
one out of every four the old Slave State one
| out of every nine and a-half. Nor is this the
whole difference. While the Northern schools

were to some extent mOnOpOlized by the richer
classes. There was deliberate purpose that
the common people should not be educated
This purpose was shown in other ways besides
that Of discouraging free schools. Restrictions

ton, were kept out or banished. Many an
editor and publisher and bookseller has been
arrested, imprisoned, and beaten with whips
for having instructive literature in his posses
sion which white men might incontently read
These precautions were taken against popular
intelligence without regard to color or race.
But oil this time, and by the same order of ar

THE On REGION.-A recent visitor TO the

Between Oil City and Meadville not one well

At Franklin, where the French creek empties

tall marble monument to the martyrs Of the

offered to this family for their house and ground.
The offer was refused, as too moderate, and
the daughter of the house, in the flush of sud
