Neuroes, Welfare in DANCER.

1t is evident that the welfare of
the educational interests of the Ne
groes in Nashville is in eminent
danger. If any one doubts it they
only need to reflect a moment.
1t will be remembered that a few
months ago it was established beyond
a shadow of doubt that the present
site Of the High School is considered
good enough by the present principal
because he told the children that a
new building would be erected on the
present site. An attempt was made
to explain this assertion, but in the
explanation the admission was made
that the charge was true. In defend
ing the position taken this assertion
was dropped: that ten years hence
would be ample time for the people
to begin talking about this matter.
This is one feature of the case we
want to call attention to.
The idea that the people are not
competent to judge what is best for
them is not new. 1t is the root OF
most of the troubles we have espe.
cially in regard to public affairs, and
even to a degree in cases of private
business. One man or few men
elect to know what the people should
have and what they want They
delegate to themselves the right to GO
into star chamber caucuses and make
out program to be submitted as the
opinion and wishes Of the people, and
to make matters worse, they, as a
rule, know very little about the PEG.
pie. The Star Chamber is in exist
ence in Nashville now One grave
matter that should be looked into is
shall all school buildings for Negroes
be located on high ground or low
ground? Is it possible to get the
best result in school house located
where the noise of trains and facto
ries make it impossible for teachers
to be heard? And where the health
of the children is always imperiled!
These are questions that the Negroes
of Nashville must look after.
1t is hoped that in the near future
a new high school building will be
erected for the colored population OF
the city. The present principal says ter
years hence will be time enough for
the people to discuss the matter, but
we believe it is imperative that the
people discuss the matter now. Shall
the high school be built on higf
ground or shall it be built in some
bottom under railroad trestl'
among factories and warehouses? j
this matter is left to the Star Cham
her, rest assured the High School ant
all other institutions for public us
will be in some vice-ridden vicinity o
under some railroad trestle.
