THE TASK OF THE SOUTH.

The Southern Education Board
is>attracting the attention of the
whole country. 1t has undertake
en- great work which is being
watched by the thinking people
of all sections of the United
States.
There has been so much mis-
guided philanthrophy ?)from the
North that the South has natur-
ally become sensitive on the sub
iect of northern interference
wit% southern educational mat
ters.
The Southern Education Board
lit seems recognizes these con-
.ditions. Sensible of this senti-
ment they have adopted a plan
intended to. overcome the preju-
adice.
In an address before the faculty
and students of Washington and
Lee University delivered Dec. 10,
902, Edgar Ca dner Murphy, of
montgomery, Ala, the executive
secretary of the Southern Edu-
cation board reviewed briefly the
object Of the board and outlines

the accepted methods and the
constituted authorities of the
South.
There are certain things
which the SoNth has once for all
decided, which she has a right
to decide, and which I believe she
has decided wisely. First there
fore, in dealing with the question
OF popular education, she has be-
gun by placing her Negro child
rem in one school house and her
white children in another. That
division, as DR.. Curry, the
Supervising Director of our
Southern Board, has said, will
stand until the day of our child
ren's chi dren. No MAN NOW
LIVING, NO CHILD oFANY MAN NOW
LIVING, WILL EVER SEE AT THE
SOUTH THESE TWO RACES TAUGHT
TOGETHER IN SAME ScHooL-ROOM
AND GRADUATED TOGETHER FROM
SAME INSTITUTION. These races
must be educated apart. The
South, as one of our friends ii
Qeorgia has observed, is no
ready to open or to discuss
question with anybodE

dollars that might be brought to
us without the borders of our
state.
They have not forestalled mi
tiative. hey have asked it. They
have developed it; they have Civ
en- it quickened hope and happier
fulfilment. The General Edu-
cation Board is here not because
of what the South has failed to do
but in order TO recognize and
to meet what the South has done.
The Board exists, not because
the South has done nothing, but
because the South has done so
much-so much for her self, so
much for both the races within
her borders, so much for the
Nation.
Yet there is so much to do.
The task Of the South must still
bring for many a year a search
ing test to her patience, her wis
dom, her resolute and exhaustless
courage.

interest in the negro, it is likely
to fail in it's service both to the
South and to the Negro. The
South, under the irritations of
such a policy, is tempted to
leave the Negro wholly to the care
Of voluntary forces. If the South
is not to draw the race line a.
gainst one element of the popu-
latlon, the North should not draw
that line against another. Racial
favoritism makes for inter-racial
hatred.

lcies are to be attempted in the
South, they should be largely
worked out by the Southern
men. Southern men are face to
face with the conditions; and

~ HE history of Venezuela since its
freedom from the Spanish yoke
in 1921 and it's severance from
the federal states of Colombia is made
up of petty revolutions, plots, counter
plots and complex politics supposed to
represent republican form of govern
Rent.
Nowhere else save in South Ameri-
can republic could such rapid and COM
plete changes occur in the government
for such insignificant causes.
With the other South American
states Venezuela arose against the
Spanish rule on July ii, 1911. Gen. ST.
mon Bolivar commanded the armies.
The fight against Spain was conduct
cd by Gen. Bolivar for ten years, with n
few intervals, when the countries in
the movement for liberty gave up. In
1912 Venezuela, with the other coun-
tries, returned to the yoke on account
Of an earthquake which destroyed
many lives and was said to be mani
festation of Providence against their
euOrtS Tor freedom.
At the battle of Carababo, in 1921,
the army of Spain was utterly routed
by the allies. Bolivar was appointed
dictator of the republic and after
wards president.
Spain did not, however, formally rec
ognize the rebellious states as indie
pendent until March 30, 1915.
Singular to relate, without trouble
of any sort CT revolution. Venezuela
withdrew from the confederation
known as the Federal States of Colon
bia, which embraced the present Co
lombia and Ecuador, on November &c,
1929, and soon afterwards, at a meet
ing of the Venezuelan notables, Gen.
Teaz, who fought with Bolivar, was
elected president.
Gen. PeaZ at once set on foot nego-
tiations for the recognition by Spain
Of Venezuela's independence. He was
succeeded to the presidency by Doctor
Jose Vargas in 1885. it having been de-
cided that the president should hold
office for two years and not be eligible
10 succeed himself.
President Vargas became embroiled
with the military element, and shortly
after his election was seized by dozen
generals and ordered to sign abdica-
lion papers. This he refused to do and
~ns deported in consequence to the
island of st. Thomas. Former Presi-
dent Peaz. who had retired. at once
raised 1000 soldiers and marched on

after months operations. President
Vargas was recalled. However, the

disturbances until 1896. On the eXpi-

succeeded by Gen. Soublett, in 1912.
Four years afterwards war broke
out between the negroes and the ere
oles. Peaz was recalled from his re-
tirement and invested with the title
of dictator, and. as the president was
not satisfactory, was offered the pres
idency. However, Peaz Gid not want
the Office and supported Gen. Monogas,
who was elected.
Gen. Monogas. in 1s4s. in conflict
over matters of state with the depu-
ties of the states of Venezuela, head
ed q party of soldiers, forcibly en-
tered the hall of deputies and killed
several of them. Peaz then took up
arms against Monogas, but was de-
feated and captured in 1s49. He was
kept prisoner in Caracas for nearly a
year, released and sent TO New
York.
The Monogas family, consisting OF
father and two sons, managed to al
ternate in the presidents Office until
1855. when a revolution of more than
ordinary proportions arose, and they
were put out of Office and left the
city. A provisional government was
formed. Gen. julian Castro was APP
