nIxRD SCHOOLS.
The question Of admitting white and
black children In our public schools under
the samh teachers 10 attracting attention.
Asyct no new action In this respect has been
determined upon BY the school board. The
special occasion which has given rise TO the
agitauon undoubtedly that portion OF
mayor bowoa's message which moots the
subject and suggests some Incidental cousid-
crations which ultimately point to this cor-
clusion; although, for tho present, We be-
liove no definite recommendation Ia made.
Sill 10 has raised the whole question Of
MIXED schools In the public mind, while con-
siderable feeling has been excited, much Of
IL unnecessarily, among those who arc OPP
posed V this resnlt.
Let us examine the subject. First we viii
observe, We accept the doctrine OF equal
rights, and frown upon any monopoly or
privilege which ls unequal In ito operations,
and docs not give all the same advantages
which part enjoy. And hence We favor
giving the colored people Just 40 good schools
and school-bouses as the whites have, with
All the incidental advantages inhering there
to. In this we would DO lust and fair and
one can saw th,, declaration does no, fully
