The report OF the superintendent
of Public Instruction shows tina
there are 500, 43l white children of
the school age in the State and 220.
1913 colored children Of school age.
The white enrolment Is 283,2l7

white children in North Carolina At.

elevenths per cent OF the colored
children take advantage of their op
portunity to get an education.
These figures prove absolutely ant
en- ph atically the contention made b,
The CAUCASIAN in opposition to tn,
amendment, as one Of various Co
gent reasons Why it should not hav'
been adopted, that the oolored boy
would exert themselves to get an cd
ucation in order to qualify them
selves for suffrage by 1908, and in I
few years the educated negroe

And there is livelier sense of the
