TEACHING THE VOTER.-A colored teacher in
North Carolina has devised plan for multiplying
IN a lawful and praseworthy manner the stringent
and partisan anti-sufrage amendment recently
adopted in that State. He proposes to instruct
voters OF his during the next four years hold
ing school at certain places every Saturday. On
his terms the voter will learn how read the Con
stituton Of the State and that Of theUned States,
besides which IT is proposed to give instruction IN
the four fundamental rules Of arithmetic. The
teacher will charge cents lesson SO 40 for the
course The circular OF the originator OF this plan
states that there are ffty-two Saturdays in the
year, and that all industrious and energetic colored
men attend Saturday school at least four
hfths OF these Saturdays. thirtynine days in the
recreation and vacation days. and up 1872
days study home without a teacher in four
years His scheme is so far interesting that it
might be well to quote his closing paragraph:

teacher at 3 cents q head. The session will com
