We must have no mixing of the
children, the teachers or the officials
that will bring colored people in any
manner in connection with the white
schools. The United States govern
ment has colored regiments in its
army, but it officers them with white
men. There are negroes in the navy
but not on the quarterback; nor will
there ever be an American regiment
in the field or an American ship on
the sea commanded by negro, though
one might be found as fit to command
as Sherman or Porter.
