AN OBJECT LESSON.

An object lesson la civilization is more
potent in compelling people to act right
than a law compelling them to do 80.
Some years ago a colored woman who
had graduated at Tuskegee began Ter
life work in Southern community where
tho force of white public sentiment was
opposed to the starting of what was term
ed a "nigger school," says Booker T.
Washington in the January Century. AT
first this girl was tempted to abuse her
white sister, but she remembered that
perhaps the white woman had been taught
from her earliest childhood, through read
ing and conversation, that education vas
not good for the negro, that 1t would re-
suit only in trouble to the community,
and that no amount of abuse could
change this prejudice.
After while this colored teacher was
married to aa educated colored man, and
they built IL little cottage, which. in con-
nection with her husbands farm, was "a
model. one morning one of the white wo-
men who had been most Intense in her
(, elings was passing this cottage, and her
attention was attracted to the colored wo-
man who was at work in her beautiful
flower garden A conversation took place
concerning the flowers. At another time
this same white woman was so attracted
BY this flower garden that she came in
side the yard, and from the yard she went
into the sitting room and examined the
books and papers.
This acquaintance has now ripened and
broadened. SO that to-day there are few
people In that community more highly re-
spected than this colored family. What
did it all? This object lesson No one
could explain that away. one such oh
ject lesson in every community in the
South is more powerful than all the laws
Congress can pass in the direction OF
bringing about right relations between
blacks and whites.
