PLEA FOR BETTER SYSTEM OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS FOR AFRO AMERICANS IN
DELAWARE.

We-live in an age Of scientific prosperity
a progressive age. And in order TO kee
pace with the age, and gfapple with th
sciences, we must be versed in the variou
elements around US. There are two force
that exist in certain relative proportions
mind and matter. One is mental force. til
other is a material force; one is continual,
active, the other lies dormant. 1t is a fac
that the mind controls the matter. A cues
ton may arise how can the mind contro
aud deyelop the matter unless it is frs
developed The above thought leads us t.
think that the mind of the Airo-Americar
may have cause to deal with some of he
various elements by which he is surround
ed. Thus there exists certain relation be
tween the public schools, and the Afro.
American of the State of Delaware, since
they are the places where the young mind
should be systematically trained It is q
settled fact in our mind, that the public
schools should be properly conducted by
the superior power-the mind-in order that
the young mind may be systematically de.
tai be developed unless the material which is
used as its sustaiuer be systematized ? The
public school system for the Afro-American
youth is the thing that needs reconstructing.
Such schools existing uHder the name of
public schools are unworthy of the title they
bear, disgrace to the State in which they
exist, a canker that exists only to be seen in
a more unseemly form. Such a condition of
affairs are menace to the prosperity of the
government, and sore afliction to the in
telligeut members of the race. Have we
not enough benevolent beuefactors among
thinking people of the State, to create suf
fceut influences, to cause a change in the
management of one of the most important
features that goes to make up the prosperity
of part Of its citizens?
Is it fact that the State which claims the
honor of being the first signer of the De-
claration of Independence proclaiming:
"that all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
inaliensble rights; that among these are
life, liberty, aud the pursuit Of happiness5'
conscleuuously ignore the privilege of a
part ofits citizens? Such actions seem to US
inconsistent and illogical
The same chapter proceeds to state Chat
to secure these rights, governments are in
stituted among men," and it further reads
whenever any form of the government be-
comes destruction of these ends, it is the
right Of the people to alter or abolish it and
to institute new government"
Has it not been known long ago, by the
intelligent people of Delaware, that the
schools of this State have outlived their
days of usefulness7 That the so.called sys-
tenn is wholly inadequate to meet the re-
quiiements Of the racer We appeal to the
conscience, and unprejudiced
miHd for an impartial decision, and wise
course, in the actions of the State during the
session of the next Legislature.
