ator from Guilford, ! will say that II we have
made separate aud distinct schools for the white
and colored race, we have colored men and col
orcd women fully competent TO take charge of
these schools, and why, then, after you have
made this distinction, alter you have made
provision In your school bill that we shall have
white and colored schools separate and distinct,
why not make II an organic law of the land that
we shall have cOlored teachers and colored pro-
icssors. We have them here competent, WI
have them in this State lully competent, TO take
charge oi these schools. We have had them uii-
der teachers who have led our daughters astray
too long, and ! want them TO come uudcr sep
arate aud distinct schools, to come under color
cd men and colorcd women, In order that our
daughters may not be led astray by the Demo
