may not get as big a popular major

normal and furnishes no permanent
basis for estimate-but Judge Taft
will not fall short Of his distin-

sure, and will carry all of the pivotal
states where the Negro voters have
any say So over the result. =

credulous persons into notion that
revolt against the Republican party
was on, was the work of g. few 'lusty.

{ Dear Str; .1s%"' p.
My attention haS been called to an A.,
Interview with myself published In
an issue Of your paner, dated Sent
:. IL, 1908. In which, am made to gips
expression et to the Following sent4.
Supreme chsaoeelloc Green de-
ciared that tho chief cause Of in
creased prejudice ). against colored
people In the south was because the
whites were envfops of Negro pro-
gress. The 100000 Pythian tenn
pie now being erected in New Or
leans Is an eyesore to white Pythians
already" 49,
desire to call your attention m
the misquotatfon of the sentiments
l expressed in the above interview
In the interview: q stated that the
chlef cause OF Increased prejudice
against the colored people. in the
south, was because ola certain class
of whites who are envious of Negro
progress, which does not include the
whites Of the Better class in the
south, who are giving ENCOURAGEMENT
by their helpful words to Negro
progress, and are also giving of
their means to promote such pro-
gress, and I would not for a moment
that it was an eyesore to white
citizens In the south, who are doing
all they can to- aid the .egro to at
tain that position in civilization that
will entities them to the standing of
other citizens Of this country
Relative to the 100000 Pythian
temple now being erected 10 the city
of New Orleans,:t did not mention
that it was aneyesore to white
Pythians already, but, that the build
ing Of that Pythiaq temple by the
colored Knights OF Pythias was a
sore spot with some of our white
Pythians when brought up in their
lodge meetings, as I had been ad-
vised. Instead of the 100000
Pythian temple being an eyesore to
the white Pythians,, generally. they
are pressing our efforts, and lending
every encouragement to the success
full completion of same, and. express
pride in our achievements, as a COM
pliment to the Pythfan Order, gem
orally. 1850. 49,. ....,r
1 also desire to call your attention
that Mrs. S. w. Green is not the
Supreme Worthy, Counsellor of the

NEGRO AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF
, ~. - .aaes1E SSOUTH.

TO the Colored People of the South:
This Is the third time that have
had the privilege Of speaking to you
in this way upon what l consider the
most vital subject. outside OF relig,
ion, that concerns our race. Action
upon it cannot be delayed or omitted
without the most serious cOnse-
Qences to this and succeeding sen
crations. I refer to the education OF
our coiored children in the country
districts, where from SO to IS per
cent. of our people live. In a recent
trip through the State Of Maryland l
that there we're rural communities
almost within the sight Of the dome
Of the capitol of the nation, where
the public schools for our race are
only open from two to two and one
half months during the year. -r
Taking the Southern States as q
whole. it is safe to say that the coun-
try schools are not in session at pres
ent longer than four or five months
out of the twelve. When we add to
this condition. in most cases, poor
school houses or no school houses,
little apparatus and poorly paid
teachers, it is clear that this is a con-
dition demanding the immediate and
constant attention Of parents, minis
tiers. teachers and leaders os every
description. The facilities for public
school education in the cities and
larger towns are good for the most
part, but ] know of counties where
Negro teachers are paid not more
than SIS per month. and out of this
they must board themselves. This
means practically no school, for a
teacher worth more cannot live on
such a wage. -
In order to impress our people with
the truth of how far We are behind
and with what remains to be done,
let me make comparison: Two
years ago each child in the State of
Massachusetts, had spent upon him as
per school population, in the free
public schools, $26.42, while taking
the South as whole for the same
year each Negro child had spent upon
him as per school population from SD
cents to $1.50 in the different South
crn States. At such rate does any
one believe that we can educate our
children? Ignorance will grow den
scr, and crime, lawlessness and inef-
ficiency will increase. Something
must be done and that speedily.
What is the remedy? Let parents
and leaders get into close and SYM
pathetic touch with the local and
county and State officials and maze
known the condition and the needs
of the children. If one effort does
not succeed, make another and an
other. You, yourselves, must make
your wants known, no one can or will
do it for you. We must in a firm,
and yet polite manner
insist upon our proper share Of the
public school funds. B..
Parents must bear in mind that if
they get all the public school fund
that is justly. due their children.
this alone will not provide for the
education Of their children. Even
the white children in the South are
NOT resolving enough mQpey 10 pSop-
