TO THE VOTERS:

Nv attention has been called to
a report being circulated to the
effect that if / am elected Mayor

with her finances.
Every body knows if the banks

good and not because any parti-
cular person happened to be
Mayor at the time. | do not
believe this report will fool many
people. but for fear some person
may believe it, | have the assur
ance of all the banks that | will
have no trouble on this account.
So just go ahead and cast your
vote for me.

Compulsory School Atten-
dance.

BuIle5in No. 2, 1914 issued by
the u. IS. Bureau of Education
says that objection is often made
that compulsory attendance would
work hardships in the homes OF
the poor, Is it not a fact that the
poor child is the very one who
most needs the aid of the state to
bring him into possession of his
owns The child of the poor
must work, but is it right that ne
should be forever denied his share
of his inheritance9 If it be true
that the American home cannot be
supported by the adult members
of the normal family, we are con
fronted with one of the gravest
problems ever met in any country
Frequently the opponents insist
that we have not enough school
house and teachers to take care OF
the thousands of children whom 6
compulsory law would add to the
school attendance. Will til {
schoolhouses ever be built or the
teachers employed until there is q
need for them9
The argument against compul-
sorry attendance on account of the
negro has been worn threadbare.
Is it wise or expedient to permit
thousands of white boys and girls
to grow up in ignorance lest in
forcing them in school, the as
pirations of the negro child should
be awa8ened9 Shall the white
man remain ignorant in order to
encourage or to compel the negro
to remain ignorant9 is it better
for white and black to remain
ignorant than for both to become
Intelligent The only logical con-
clusion 20 such argument is that
the ignorant white man can COM
pete successfully with the ignor-
ant negro. but the untraine q
white men cannot compete with
the trained negro. The negro
child needs no compulsory law to
put him into school. He is already
there wherever and whenever
possible. OF what value are our
school taxes, schoolhouses and
improved schools to the thousands
of boys and girls who never enter
the door of a scboolhouseg
