TWO views
on EDUCATION

1t IS evident that Republi-
cans and Democrats have
widely divergent views on the
subject of education.
This is what Charles Evans
Hughes, Republican candi-
date for president, has to say
about the matter:
mo possible concept for
the advancement of the col.
ored man excludes education.
His hope lies not only in the
education of himself. but of
the race with which he is
thrown in contact. Culture
is supposed to be a foil for
preJudice-a crucible wherein
the dogmas of contra racial
aversions may be tempered
with cause and effect and
from which justice man to
man may emerge. Education
should produce fairness, frank
ness, a basis upon which races
and men may meet with COM
man understandings"
Senator Ben Tillman of
South Carolina, a leading
Southern Democrat holds a
very different opinion, as will
be seen from the following
excerpt from one of his speech
les:
Educate niggers?" repeat
ed the senator, and then he
laughed. "Say there is only
one nigger in 100 that can
stand an education. The first
thing that an educated nigger
wants to do is to preach the
Gospel. If not that he wants
to practice law or teach school
Somebody has got to pound it
into their heads that they
were Put on earth to pick cot
ton, and that's what thev'Il
have to do in the South. You
certainly have made a mess of
the nigger in the North. It's
mighty seldom that a nigRer
becomes educated. He gets
a sort of veneering and wants
to associate with white people
and when he learns that he
can he drops the veneering
and becomes just a PLAIN mig
ger. A niger is nigxer, and
you can't make anything else
cut of him. 1t will come miph
