In striking contrast to the considera'
tion with which the negro is held in the
South is the appropriation of an equal
amount by this State for the edn'
cation of the white and the colored chill.
dram.
In Wilmington, N. c., the State ol
North Carolina has refused protection
to scores of negroes who are being
bounded by white men and shot down
because of the stand taken by the col.
ored voters of that State in the recent
election.
In this city City Solicitor Conrad last
night stated to the Board of Public Edu-
cation that the reason for decrease in
the States appropriation to the white
schools was that under a recent act of the
General Assembly, under the general
system of free schools the colored schools
Of this county are to share the appropria-
ton with the other schools, each getting
an equal amount.
This vivid presentation Of the condi.
ton OF the clored man in the South and
the colored man in the North is food for
thought. The South is the home of the
negro He is considered thief and a
disreputable character there to-day more
go than he was in ante-bellum days.
The white man in the South has never
yet fully comprehended that the pres
ence of the negro could be made endur-
able il it were sought to better his con-
dition and to develop his intellectual
faculties to point where he might ap-
preciate his surroundings and act accord
ingly. In reference to the negro the
South still sings:
''The white man goes to college,
The niger to the field,
The white man learns the knowledge
The nigger learns to steal.'
As stated by City Solicitor Conrad,
this State has during the last year raised
the appropriations for colored schools to
an equal amount with that apportioned
to the white schools. Delaware has al
ways endeavored to place at the disposal
of this unfortunate race the best facili-
ties for the cultivation of principle and
character within them and the develop
ment of their condition.
The result has not been disappointing.
In this State to-day hundreds OF
negros take advantage of the States
generosity and by reason of it, the
colored man here is more highly cdu-
Gated negro than he was ten years ago
or than he is in many other States to-
day.
The noble step taken by Delaware is a
Just rebuke to the mob citizens and the
State Government of North Carolina.
