School For COIOred Children

Fer many years a school for
colored children was maintained in
Laclede. A dozen or more years
ago attendance dropped off until the
enrolment was far less than the
number required to permit the ex-
penditure for the school and it was
discontinued, since. which time the
colored children have been either
sent out of town to school, at
tended a private school aided by
funds supplied by the school board
or had no schooling at all. The
need of a school for the colored
children of the town has long been
recognized but nothing definite
done until recently when chapter
r of P. E. o. took hold of the
task of raising funds for a school
the coming year. However, it will
be necessary for the ladies who are
promoting the movement to have
the support and cooperation of the
entire community in order to put
the the school in good condition
and give the colored children the
opportunity to get an education
they are entitled to. Just what
their program is or where they
expect to hold the school we do
not know but feel sure their appeal
