Compulsory Education

+. II. Blake in Spartanburg Herald.
A negro school teacher in
South Carolina recently said
that the white people of South
Carolina passed law in 1895
compelling the negroes to attend
school when the constitutional
convention required that negro
be able to read and write, or that
he hold property before he could
vote. He smiled and said that
since that time the negro child
rem could not be kept from going
to school, and that the negro
schools were always crowded,
but that now the white people
would be forced to pass a COM
pulsorv education law to give
the white children the education
they would need to compete
with the negro. That negro
teachers statements is plain
enough.
So we have in South Carolina
a compulsory law already for
the negroes. Here is what Hon.
James D. Sullivan, chief of COM
pulsory attendance division of
the State of New York, replies
from Albany under date of May
2S, 1914, as to the effect of the
compulsory attendance law in
that state and what the people
think of it:
"E. H. Blake,

sorry education law than before

-. Are the people trying to

They certainly are not.

The compulsory education law

statute has done for the people

years. Illiteracy in the German

point as a result of a vigorous
enforcement of attendance laws
in that country"

BALES OF
COTTON ON FIRE
IN BOATS HOLD
Blaze in Liner Almost Starts Pan
ic on New York Pier

New York, Sept. 26.-Sixteen hun
dred bales of cotton m the lower hold
of the White star liner cretic caught
fire this morning AK the vessel was
about to weigh anchor for Genoa. Scv-
eral hundred Italian reservists who
crowded the steerage over night were
routed by the smoke and fed in scant
attire to the pier.
The fire gained rapidly. In the
meantime the confusion on the pier
among the cabin passengers ready to
embark was so great that panic
seemed To impend. 1t was 10 o'clock
before the freboats seemed to have the
blaze under control.
The ship itself, it is said, did not
catch fire, the damage being confined
To the cotton.
The Cretic probably will be unable
to sail today. 1t is thought the blaze
might have been started 10y lighted
cigarette or cigar tossed into the hold.
