Christian men and women of the
North do you not admire the work
which has been done for the chill
dren Of the South?
The children of Alabama, my own
state, stand third from the bottom
1.-THE list of illiteracy, and the chill
dren of Iowa stand third from the
top. What a gulf between us! Have
the children Of Iowa ever struggled
and prayed for light as the children
Of Alabama have done? The chill
dren of Iowa never saw their stat,
wasted by war never had in their
midst hundreds of thousands Of saw
ages to share part Of their civiliza
ton. The children Of Alabama can
have only seventy days in the year,
pay their 1000 teachers less thar
$50 month for only three month
in the year, and have only about
$500 school houses for 100000 chill
dren. The children Of Iowa have
school 100 days each year, pay theii
$4,000 teachers $4,000 per month
and have $4,000 school houses for
$4,000 children. Thus it stands
with all the states North and South
The figures are food for thought.
The figures are food for Chris
tian thought. Do they not
speak with a voice of a holy
angel, saying that the children if
Iowa must, in proportion to their
superior advantages, do superior
work for the world? Do not the fig
ures say that in intelligence, ir
Christian work, in liberation and lib
erality Of spirit, in brotherly love
in depth, height and breadth of hui
manity the children Of the Nortl
must far outstrip the children of the
South? Do they do it? The figures
tell the story Of sacrifice, toll and
struggle Of the teachers Of the chill
dren Of the South. They tell the
story of ease, comfort and wealth OF
the teachers Of the children of The
North. May these teachers of chill
dren of the North, out of their su-
perior facilities, rise to sublimel
heights and see more clearly theil
duty to the children Of the South
The donations to benevolent pur
poses since 1898 amount to ovel
$2O0,000,000. The children of tht
South have received not quite So,
100000 Of these benefactions. VIII
charity has thus passed by the CHI
dren Of the South I do not know
Their cries and appeals are piteOu
and should pierce every soul. The,
cry for more normal and trad
schools, colleges and universities, t
send them more and better teachers
They are in the dark. !Fhey thirs'
They famish. Eighty per cent o
the Negro part live far away in tn
backwoods. They have few towns
only half dozen cities-a wide an
thinly-spread population. Some da!
I trust their cries and struggles wi
bring to them more sympathy, NOR
help. They do not envy the chi
dren of the North, but ask them t
remember the children of the Soutl
There are about 100000 whit
children and 100000 Negro chi

EDUCATION Of
THE NEGRO
Prof. Council Compares the
Schooling of Colored Chill
dred With That of
the Whites.

(From an address by w H. Council,
The Southern States have RAISED
out OF their poverty for the children
since 1870 the sum Of $515. 100000
More than $100,00O,000 of this a
mount has gone to tire Negro chill
dren of the South whose foreparenty
came up out Of slavery Every stat
constitution and all of their statr
tory laws make some provision for
the children. They may not be very
wise, nor munificent, but they were
the best that the wisdom and wealth
of the times justified. The staff
have 10000 school houses for the
children; 10000 of them are fol
Negro children. Whether thes
school houses be stately mansions or
log cabins, the Negro in them, in
thirty-five years, with his $4,000
teachers, 100000, 900 and the good
will Of the South, has wiped out 4?
per cent of his illiteracy and increaS
ed his wealth by one billion dollars
Every church in the South ha
favored the cause of the children.
Every minister has stood for SOM
kind of education for the children
l cannot now say what has beer
given by all the churches of the
South for the white children. but
Southern charity has given, at the
lowest estimate, $50,OO0,0 600 for Ne
gro children. The Northern white
churches have Uivnn.

WILL HAVE A CONVENTION.
The State Apparently Voted for Revi


sion of the Constitution.
Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Without any
agitation en- the subject or any es-
pecial attention being given to it the
proposition to hold convention to
revise the constitution of the state
was undoubtedly adopted at TIE cleo
ton Tuesday. The proposition was
submitted in accordance with a provi-
sion of the constitution requiring
such a proposition to be submitted in
1870 and every ten years thereafter.
Heretofore ii has been voted down.
The same outcome was expected this
year. Neither state officers, legisla-
tors or political managers took any
public interest in the proposition and
defeat for il was ANTICIPATED. The
explanation of success usually given
is that large proportion of the vot
ers who voted for the proposition did
so supposing it was connected with
the Titus amendment providing for
biennial elections which was submit
ted on the same ballot and which
was adopted. Many, however, doubt
less voted for a constitutional con-
vention believing that changes in the
organic laws of the state are advis-
able.
The Titus amendment providing for
biennial elections. was adopted. 1t
will become a part of the constitu-
ton upon the issuance of a procla-
nation to that effect by the governor,
after the result of the vote has been
declared by ths state board of can
vaSSerS.
