the eye it sprang suddenly into full
flower.
The ground is being thoroughly prepar-
ed by the governors ald college presi-
dents and faithful ministers who are
preaching the gospel OF education in the
South. They have been planting the
seeds that arc to result in rich harvest.
And some OF the plants are ready to
burst into bloom.
Not every one of these States is
ready for universal education-which
means compulsory education. Some will
not be ready in generation. But many
OF them are. There are such communi-
ties such districts in every State and
they should be given an opportunity to
put the system in operation.
WHAT STANDS IN THE WAY.
In the South are hundreds of thous-
ands who ardenty favor such education,
but they have been kept back by two
difficulties that appeared almost insu
perable. 81. Ia
1t would be we'll to speak frankly. One
OF these is the negro. Thousands of
good people do not believe the grea
mass of the negroes are capable
utilizing instruction in books and the
finer things OF life. They do not believe
that much of an education aids the ne
gro to perform the duties in his sphere
of service They are kept in constan
fear of the political domination OF the
negro, which they Will never permit
as long as Gods sun shines. Many of
the Constitutional amendements that
limit the suffrage and insure the whites
political safety are based on educational
qualifications. And if these are removed
they fear it will open the Pandora S
box of negro rule and let loose again the
horde of evils that have just been sub
dued after generation Of blood and
toll and struggle. Whether it be righ
or wrong, the South is not yet ready
for the education Of all the negroes.
MUST HAVE PEOPLES SUPPORT.
In the second place Thoughtful men
/ realize the impossibility of enforcing a
! compulsory law in any State as a whole.
! They realize that the greater portion
of none of these States is yet prepared
! for such 4 measure. Therefore, if en-
acted the law would be a costly expert
ment, would be evaded, disregarded and
soon repealed. And the revulsion would
set back the cause of education for e
generation. That is the reason large
number of men who ara ardently in favor
of the education OF both races-of all the
! people-do not believe compulsory educa
! ticn in the South is practicable.
Fer years in my native State of North
/ Carolina I have studied conditions as
/ they exist; have discussed the problem
with educators and business men, With
manufacturers and parents and men who
/ are giving their lives for the good oi
the people. l believe there must be some

The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1903-01-06
LOCAL-OPTION SYSTEM.


After all, / believe the solution lies
in the application of the principle of local
option. l remember in my childhood that
every farmer in all the broad expanse
OF North Carolina had to fence in every
acre Of his fields to keep out the stock
Of his neighbor; when the lean, lank
COW and the razor-back hog ran wild
along every road in the country, seek
ing an opening to break into a cornfield
or potato patch; when every field had
to be guarded as by moat and wall and
the strangers cattle ranged the country
like piratical foragers. After a while
some men who saw how foolish it was
for every man to fence his farm against
his neighbor proposed that instead the
few cows and hogs be fenced in. The
opposition to this innovation among a
large part Of the population was intense
The "one- -gallus" element was thorough
ly awakened to this Invasion of rights
and the dema gogue politicians pictured
it as the oppression of the poor by the
rich, limiting darkly al the starvation o
thousands Of the impecunious when their
razor-back pigs and mulley cows could
no longer feed on the crops of others.
1t was found impossible to enforce a
general law at first. A law to apply to
the State at large would have almost
created revolution. SO the Legisla-
ture passed an act applying to a num-
Der Of townships where large proper
tion of the people favored fencing in the
cattle rather than the crops 1t also
allowed any township that so desired t.
vote on the question and if a majority
so voted the law would apply to the town
ship. The movement began modestly
but as soon as it's great advantages were
seen it spread rapidly until within a
decade most OF the State was covered
by the .No Fence" laws. Such move
merts do not go backward, and the man
who would now advocate a return to the
old system would be regarded as con-
summate fool.
A PRACTICAL METHOD.
Would it not be entirely practical in
this gradual way to convert State to
compulsory education?
The system ! desire to bring to public
consideration is for compulsory educa-
tion by local option and gradual extern
sion"
II each State Legislature would pass
an act providing that any school district
on the application to the County Com
missioners of one-fifth of the registered
voters, should have the right to vote on
the question of compulsory education
and that if a majority of the votes cast
