Mr.. GREELEY ON WHITE AND BLACK SCHOOLS
During his recent address to the coored people Of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Mr.. Greeley gave them
some advice ON the school question. He said:
Ii were black man / should not ask for
separate school, vet should still say il the whites
choose to have separate schools should not object
to it. / should only ask that the schools for my
children should be made as good, as efficient, Is
the schools provided tor other mens children
Then if the majority choose that the minority
should be educated i'll separate schools, ] would
say. "Gentlemen, be 1t as you please: have no
choice in the matter" A gentleman or lady never
discusses the question. Was it proper to refuse me
an invitation to my nsiRhbol's partya He or she
accepts the tact, and lets the reason take care OF
itself Precisely with regard to religious fra
ternity or associations for maintenance OF divine
worship would advise the co'ored race never
to make distinction, ard never TO refuse one. II
ths whites choose that the blacks shall not be
m .mbers on equal terms Of general congregations
would accept exclusive congregations. not IS my
choice, but as the choice Of the dominant race"
