EDUCATION AND SLAVERY.

In a recent communication to The
Times Dispatch from Mr.. S. V. Watkins
OF Leesburg, on the subject OF negro
education, this statement was maze:
There can be no difference OF opinion
..mong men now living who had opportu-
mites for observation that the negro DUR
ing the days of slavery did absoiu'ely
without educat ton become honest, indus'
trlous and respectable
That Is misleading. 1t is true that the
negro during the days OF slavery was
not. as a rule, instructed In books, but
he was not without education. The negro
slave was we'll educated, and In some re-
spects better educated than the average
negro of to-day. He received instruction
first of all In obedience. He was taught
to respect the authorities, to have rever-
ence for law and order.
No people were ever taught this lesson
more thoroughly than the southern slaves,
and that was why they were so amiable
and so tractabie, and in many respects
SO lovablc.
But that was not all. They were taught
good manners and good morals; they were
taught to be polite and respectful; they
we're taught to keep their hands from
picking and stealing; they were taught
that a lie was abomination, and they
were punished for all infractions OF these
rules
Nor was that all. The negro had cx-
cellent instruction In manual training and
In natures studies. He was taught to be
a good workman, whether In the corn
and cotton fields or in the shops. The
negro farm hand was a model farm
hand, and negro carpenters and shoe
makers and blacksmiths were as good
as the best The women were taught to
spin and weave and sew, TO cook and
wash and iron. They were taught to be
good housekeepers, to be neat and genteel
in all their habits.
In the light OF these facts 1t will not
do to say that the negro slaves were not
educated. They received a splendid edu-
cation, and 1t was by reason OF this edu-
cation that they became as Mr. Watkins
says, honest Industrious and respectable.
Nor would they have been less SO If they
had been taught letters. II is not the in
structonL which, the negro receives at
schoolt.noT'adays that hurts him as some
seem to think, but It is the lack of such
instruction as he received when he was
a slave. II the negro children of this
generation were as well educated in mana
ners and morals as We're the children OF
slave days. the learning which they get
from hooks wonld certainly not hurt
system is the lack OF moral training,
We do not say this In any spirit OF harsh
criticism. for It is difficult to see how
the system In this respect could well he
improved The public schools cannot take
the place OF the home In this respect,
Manners and morals must be taught at
home or they will not be easily acquired
at school, whether the pupil ", white or
black, In the days of slavery the negro
children received their instruction at
home IN part from their own mothers,
In part from nanny, the good angel Of
the back yard, and in greater part from
their mistress. Every plantation and every
farm and every house had its school and
splendid instruction was given 1t is the
grossest error to say that the negro slave
was not educated,
