DEFEAT OF THE EQUAL PRIV
ILEEE SCHOOL BILL IN TIE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE.

Through the cowardice of certain thin
skinned Republicans, the pusillaninity
of the Independents and the mulish
Bourbonisrn Of the Democrats in the
California Legislature, the bill ad,nittir z
eolored children to equal rights in the
public schools has been defeated. On
the strength Of this defeat, Mr. v. H
Hall, a well-known colored man of San
Francisco, addresses q communication
to the Post in which he handles some
parts of the subject in the able manner
quoted in the following. After making
au allusian TO the injustice done II
the eolored people by the defeat OF this
measure, he says;
II is foolish tb assume that black chill
dreu can receive an equal education III
separate and isolated schools. This rs
seition is demonstrated by the rules and
regulations of the public schools at San
Francisco, whichrequire N their primary
and intermediate classes from fifty II
seventy scholars to form a grade, and l2J
to constitute a grammar class. Take
these rules in comparison with the Inea-
gre number of negro children (5S) daiiy
attending school, and We find il the Sc
parate colored schools only ten scholars
In the primary and intermediate and one
in the grammar classes. Thus deprived
of all the advantages, contact and emu
lation that inspires the white children,
the unjust system has been working for
tveuty-three years until up TO the pres
eut time. No black child has ever grad
uated in the grammar school or reached
the honors of high school.
The colored school. situated upon an
elevation OF many hundreds Of feet
above the level OF the sea, has not only
broken the health Of many of its teach
ers. but it has denoralized the colored
parents to such degree that the attend
ance there IS mere farce. Again in the
grammar classes Of all schools, the
course Of instruction requires that such
section shall be divided into 'two sec
tons for the purpose of recitation, and
that in other sections ''they shall mem
orise lessons in geography. history and
word analysis What chance, may l
