deserve the gratitude of the negro as well
as the sympathy and aid Of every section of
the uiCn. IN their Efforts toward his cifili-
zati0n. The negroes Oi the south, where
they have good schools. are making CON-
mendablc headVay IN education. The Dis
cogragng feature with them lies IN
the fact that large majority q.
their schools are open only sixty DAYS
/ in she year, and generally their teach
ers are quite incompetent. The colored
I people az the South present a strong plea

rapidly Increasing population, there - a

tages they now have, can never bring their
race into intelligent harmony with the nf-
tufe and genius of ourOwn free Institutions.
III an economic administration Oi ihe 6oi-
ernment be- the watchword Of the hour, oar
patriotic statesmen should remember that
no economic measure is comparable 20 the
education OF the masses 0f The people % the
