A Plea for Ignorance.

Ia the course OF a femafRhD sui
torfal article with the remarkabl title,
Craving Mad for Education which
| Would Ruin Them, = the New Orleans
Picayune recently said:
| We of the south have disfranchised the ne
groes on the score of their iIIiteracy although il
possible it would be desirable to disfranchise
| them all. Then who can account for the IRE
pfessible attempts of our people to educate them
all and In order to accomplish it, loud and In
cessant demands are heard on all sides Tor COM
pulsory education laws. when everybody knows
that as soon as the negroes can read and write
the entire power of the national government
may be invoked to enforce their right to vote.
Who can explain the remarkable action of our
people who are doing al in their power to bring
on such conditions? Truly, it is madness, and
OF an inexplicable sort.
This is about as bald plea for ig-
norance as could well be framed.
One of the most striking utterances
ne remember to have heard from the
lips of public speaker was made by
DR.. Edwin A. Alderman, then presi-
dent of Tulane University and now
president of the University OF Virginia,
before the joint session Of the Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana Press Associa-
tions held in New Orleans, May 81,
1908. The learned educator was dis
cussing 'tThe Problem of the South, !"
and referring to the vital necessity OF
promoting the education of all classes
Of our population, he declared with
emphasis:
Ignorance is remedy for moth
ing!"
The Picayune evidently dissents from
this sentiment, which was heartily ap.
plauded by the assembled representa-
lives of the press of the two states.
Our contemporary apparently be-
lieves, instead, that ignorance is the
only remedy for the evils that 1t re-
CARDS as sure to ensue "when all the
negroes can read and write. y
In other words, compulsory ig-
norance is what the south needs rather
than compulsory education!
such proposition seems too pre-
posterous to merit serious attention.
It reflects upon the white people of the
south, because it assumes that they
are not capable OF keeping pace with
the VIGOROUSLY slow educational pro-
gress of the negro. It is absurd from
the standpoint of practical common
sense view OF the stu alton, because
every body knows" that many gener-
ations must come and go before call
the negroes can read and write, 2 and,
worse than all, it lakes no account of
the debasing and pernicious i1duence
that must ever be exerted upon large
element Of the white population by
being brought into contact with a large
element of ignorant blacks.
We cannot hold the negro down in
the slough of ignorance without lover
esing our own level and besoiling our
selves. Education never yet harmed
q country or people. Education
means uplifting and progress and
betterment.
Ignorance is remedy for moth
ing!n

A Delightful Occasion.

Last Sunday Mrs. F. B. Lemann,
on the occasion of the 38th ami
versary of her husband, who man
ages the affairs of the great firm of
B. Lemann 6 Bro, made it mem
orable event in every particular and
sprang a surprise on Mr.. Lemann
which he is not likely to soon for
get She went quietly to work
and prepared to celebrate the day
in an elaborate manner and made
arrangements accordingly. An ex-
cellent dinner was prepared and all
the employees of the great mercan-
tile establishment were invited, as
well as the managers and overseers
of the various plantations of the
firm, upon whom the strictest Sc
crecy was enjoined. So deftly were
things managed that not even the
slightest linking of what was going
on was given Mr.. Lemann, and he
was kept in ignorance up to the
dinner hour, when the great and
unusual gathering attracted his at
tention, and then he became aware
of the fact that a demonstration
was to be made in honor of his
natal day. 1t was revelation to
him and ali but took his breath
away.
The spacious dining room had
been fitted up in the most tasty and
artistic style, and, with its settings
of cut flowers and potted plants,
presented most charming sight.
Three large tables had been ar
ranged and furnished for the ac-
commodation Of the guests, ard all
were properly taken care of. At
the first table sat Mr.. Lemann and
his uncle, Meyer, the head of the
firm, and all the older employees,
at the second those next IN service
and at the third the younger force.
The repast was fit for the gods and
reflected great credit upon the ar
tistic taste and culinary skill of
Mrs. Lenann.
Champagne flowed freely and
many appropriate toasts were otfer-
ed and drank to the host and hos
tess. Shortly before the dinner hour
Mr.. Fred Landry, one of the old en-
pIoyees of the Lemann mercantile
establishment, arose and, in a few
we'll chosen and feeling words, pre-
scented Mr.. Lemann with an elegant
gold handled umbrella on behalf of
the employees of the store. This
was another surprise, and SO af-
fected him that he experienced
difficulty in commanding words to
properly express his feelings. It
was pleasing to him, as 1t IS to all
employers, to know that the men
are we'll pleased aud the extent TO
which they appreciate him. Il has
been said of The Lemann Bros, that
once a man enters their employ he
never leaves them until be dies
Than which 10 greater compliment
can be paid any firm. SThe 38th
anniversary of genial, warm hear
ted Ferdinand Lemann will long be.
