sixfy-nine negroes In the North and
twenty-nine negroes in the South.
This 10 according to the report Of
Prof. Wilcox, Of Cornell University.
Superintendent SoufhaIl advocates
fewer schools, longer terms and better
wages for our country teachers. He
also advocates larger school houses
and transportation for children. He
claims that the negro teachers should
teach not 20 much the three "R's" as
they should the three HH's," meaning
head, heart and hand. he also says
the negro schools have had too much
head work and not enough heart and
hand; and We want manual training
schools. Yours trrsy,
