National Aid 10 Popular Education

The policy OF aiding popular education from
the Federal treasury Is, apparently, growing In
public favor, but il may pe some years before
Il Can be adopted AID enforced The question
rs 10 how the money thus appropriated should
be distributed and expended would not. likely,
admit OF easy determination, and IL might,
eTer. become a political issue. SdOuld it be
neld that moaey thus appropriated from the
I. :. treasury should be subject to Federal
officials In the application OF Il TO educational
purposes, then there would DC danger or differ
enceS and even conflicts between the Federal
and state school authorities Under our pres
eat theory public education is the duty Of the
state, ana any attempt to establish a Federal
5; stem for the benefit o. the states, would
almost necessarily result Ia sogDe sort of con-
fusion. The only objection thus far made 10
the distribution OF the money to the states Is
that the state authorities might not expend it
justly and equitably. This objection has only
been MADE 10 apply to the states OF tae south,
which 1t Is urged. would refuse to give the
colOTed race It's prJportionate benefit OF
the money appropriated from the Fed
eTai treasury. This is, perhaps, q strained
objection. The general government could pro-
vide that whenever 1t was proven that a state
was not eXpending the money In accordance
with the Intention OF the appropriation that 1t
should be deprived OF It's part of the beneft
tIeTefrom. But. really. there does not seem to
be any reason why public school authorities In
the south should not, or wouli not give the
coloTed race their Just share OF any money, set
apart by the government, for education. The
people OF that section ought TO fully appreciate
the Importance OF educating the negro, and.
while they object TO mixed schools the statis-
tics OF public education In Georgia, Tennessee
and others Of the states that were in rebellion
show that they have provided school facilities
FOR the eolored children that have enabled them
TO make marked and satisfactory progress. In
LIE last Two Congresses the House committee
Oh education reported and urged a bill TO set
apart the money derived by the government
rom the sales OF public lands for educational
purposes, but the measure failed. The bill pro-
posed TO divide the money among the states In
proportion 10 their need OF educational facilities.
That Is TO give to those states having the largest
number Of iluterate children the larger proDor-
ton IL was objected that this would send most
OF the money into the south, and the bill was
neyerpassed. But the measure will undoubtedly
come up In future. and. II Congress can agree
upon q method for distribution OF the money. 1t
may pass.
