Within about 10 lays the public
schools will open for the scholastic
wear and the parents will begin to
look about for the continuance of their
children in school. Many and great
will be the complaints and dissatisfac-
ton at their failure to secure al mis-
sion and yet they sit guilty st their
homes for months and years ana say
not one word in time In their own IN
terest.
We cannot believe that population
of the white children are four or five
times larger than the colored and yet
il ia true there are four or i've times

not saw a word in demand tor public
school in this section.
Are thew afraid to tell the city
Board what they want2 But wait I'M
til children are out and some OF these

few pennies each, have this entire sec
tion properly canvassed, a lew org
meetings held petition drawn ana sent
TO the Board and make their wants
known, and like the great Garrison
continue to ,agitate the matter until
they get what their rights as citizens
demand and have their wants supplied
Our young people are growing am
bilious. seeking to improving them
selves in every honorable way possible.
We cannot speak too highly OF our
young women in this particular, while
our young men many OF them are
pushing to the front others are cling
| ing to many of the worst vices pos
sible. Young men stop, think and
work earnestly to improve and pre-
pare to take the lead in aid of the bet
terment of the condition of our
people.
Our churches are on the upward
grade pulling hard to make the haven
of eternal rest.
