EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM in THE


In an interesting article in which he
declares that the State supported
school is IAN institution of Democra-
cy." J. II. Phillips. superintendent of
the Birmingham (Ala.) schools, ex-
presses the opinion that the primary
need of the South today is more lib
eral infusion of the spirit of true De
mocracy as represented by Jefferson
hundred years ago; the deepening and
Strengthening of the conviction that
the education Of all classes of its PEG
pie promotes the economic and moral
welfare of the State: the realization OF
the American ideal which opens wide
for every child, Of whatever race or
color, the door of opportunity
Touching upon the problem Of edu-
eating the negro. Mr.. Phillips calls at
tention to the fact that the South has
voluntarily accepted the task of devel.
oping and educating these wards of the
nation. This is abundantly evidenced
by the fact that since 1870 the South
crn states out Of their poverty have
contributed for negro schools more
than one hundred and ten millions of
dollars-five times the amount CON
tributed for this purpose by private
philanthropy. The South of today &C.
cepts the race problem as a heritage
from the past and is content to leave
its solution to time and Providence,
seeking only to transmit it to the fu-
ture with the fewest possible comrli-
cations. The South has committed her
self to the policy Of educating the ne
gro, in the fiEst place, because it is a
solemn obligation, and, in the second
place, because Of its conviction that
ignorance offers a solution for nothing
in the universe"
The Birmingham superintendent has
stated some facts which should re
ceive the attention of those .philan-
thropists' who have been tanught to
regard the South as place where
every effort of the negro to rise out Of
the slough of ignorance has been dis
couraged.

REGULATION OF RAILROADS.
Discussed by w. E. Hines Before the

WASHINGTON. Jan. 18.-Walker T.
Hines, representing the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Louisville & Nashville
roads. appeared before the Mouse com
miitce on interstate commerce today.
He stated on. behalf of railroads gen
orally. that there was no effort to deny
the Dropriety or necessity of effective
regulation of the railroads. The public,
he said, certainly expected it.
4 The question to be considered most
carefully, he continued, was what
would he the effect OF pending legisla-
ton authorizing the Interstate COM
merce commission to fix rates when it
should declare them to he unreason-
able. There was. he said, only one
way to construe this authority. If it
gave authority to fix rates, it gave
authority to fix all. Mr.. Hines said
that the most expert traffic men could
not make a classification without find
ing something else was to be done
after he had finished it,
Complex Conditions.
Fle said in view of the complex con
dition bearing on rate making it would
be Impossible to eXaggerate the stu
Gtion that would exist after the com
mission had been at work on it for
1ollr or hVe years, they would have
changed SO many rates. The develop.
ment OF commerce, he attributed to
the rapidity and fiexibilty with which
railroad men had met new conditions.
Rapidly was the essential thing, he
said, and remarked that il they had to
come to Washington every time an ad-
justment was to be made so much time
would be consumed that the conditions
ought to he met would have disappear
ed before action would Ire finally taken.
