gether But on rhe contrary, not a sufh-
cient allowance is made for the schools
OF one color alone.
"The State does not seem to have suf-
iciently recognized the difficulties sur
rounding the subject of education, for in
1875 it adopted a constitution which has
been in force for a quarter of a century,
and under which the State has bound her
self hand and foot in the matter Of pro-
viding funds with which 20 carry on
system Of public schools.
The meagre allowance for the support
of schools has been acQuiensced in for a
quarter of a century by the people OF a "a
bama. Instead Of endeavoring to amend
the constitution so as to raise adequate
funds by local taxation the National Gov
eernment has been appealed to. The only
wonder is. that Alabama shows as good
a record as she does in her school sys-
tenn with the very inadequate means which
her constitution permits her to raise for
that purpose.
The most useful system of pub ic
schools is that which docs not attempt
20 take the children away from home and
their parents to some distant place, but
| brings the schOolhouse close TO the child
where he can remain at home and continue
to be a support to the family. having Op-
pOrtunities for education at a day school
! in the neighborhood. The child thus con-
tinues to be a producer and the family re-
| lation is kept up.
''At night the children take home their
books and writing materials. and the fam
! lily residence becomes a night school for
both old and young. Upon this system Oi
education so much depends that no State
is justified in neglecting it. So long es
Alabama is under bondage by her cOnsti-
tuition not to levy more than three-fourths
OF / per cent tax for all State purposes,
! first paying the expenses of the State,
and then applying the residue to school
purposes. just so long will she be under
the necessity Of calling on Congress for
aid, and Of appealing to individuals outside
the State for assistance in carrying on her
educational system. Until the limitation
which prevents the State from furnishing
adequate means for educational purposes
shall have been removed. Congress cannot
! be consistently asked TO furnish that which
the State. under its own constitution, for
! bids itself TO supply"

The Minority Report.


The minority report signed by Messrs
Lacey and Eddy. in part. follows;
Alabama is in very great need Of edu-
cational facilities. The percentage OF H..
iiteracy Is large and no one can doubt the
necessity for adequate provisions being
made for the educational purposes in this
State. The State has been applying TO
Congress for many years for national aid
for its various educational Institutions
The attention Of the gentlemen seeking
this aid has repeatedly been called to what
appears to be the main difficulty in edu-
catiOnal matters in Alabama.
Alabama is a fertile State with a de-
lishtful and healthful climate. abundance
Of timber coal, and iron. with adequate
rainfall and a prolific soil The pOpula-
tion OF the State at the present time is
probably near 1.S00,00 souls. The State
has been making great industrial progress.
and the city Of Birmingham has become
the rival Of Pittsburg herself There Is one
great drawback to the State of Alabama
which casts a cloud over her future but
which is an essential one for her people.
10 remove She has no adequate system
Of public schools nor any method Of pro-
Viding sufficient revenue TO support them
Nothing can supply this want but the ac-
tiOn of Der own people.
Under her constitution it is provided
Separate schools for each race shall al
way be maintained by the school autbori-
ties. This policy of maintaining separata
schools for the white and the black chill
dreu is the policy of many Of the former
slave States. il not all of them. On this
subject the people of those States are tne
best judges. They know best what is for
the interest Of both races. and no one
outside the State has a right TO criticise
the plan adopted. This statement is not
made In criticism but only in order 10 call
attention to the fact The population is
nearly equally divided between the white
and the black races, and as two complete
systems of schools must be maintained it
