In d he free ot the facts the private ii chool can never do what the public k chool njustdoto have useful citi- it ens. The most successful people f the world are thqee who have men educated to high- citizenship ,nd Christianty. The negro iad citizenship thrust upon him p ,bout forty-six years ago. At the tl allot box, which in a few years y iroved to he a curse to hira, he be- b ;an to barter his rights and the d ights of others. It would have ti eon better for the race had the pu?ic school been set up in every secion and pi spared the Southern uero for citizenship among his true riends. The ballot and little edumtion did him in many instances [rest harm. He got the idea in a oine way that he could make this v ournev of life without physical la. 0 >or. This same idea carried with it J he tendoncy to piifer and loaf, and his pilfering and loafing has 8 irouglit deep sorrow to many a home nd crime and expense to the State. 0 ?he negro must be trained to work n nd to work with his own bands. 1 oo't know just how this comes j bout but neveitheless it is a fact, hat fifty per cent of all the negroes how a disposition to the other ne;ro that he is above work, matters lOWjlittte education he has. It can e seen how this idea will run si hrongh a section or State like wild o re. I want to be a minister, doc- d or, lawyer or teacher, when these d irofessions carry with them the wrong idea of life, what great harm t:. 1 done to the poor ignorant negro, ti 'he true and -faithful negro sees ii his in his profession and is trying o bting about a ohange of things. I want to say, positively in my judg- b lent, that there is no probability v hat the humble negro will ever find better plaoe for'this kind,ot train- t og than in the publio school and s mutations that are properly looked fter by the white citizenship of the s itate. The white man is cuhare i nd refined and he can help us to t lelp ourselves, and when we have r earned ,good citizenship from the raining that may be given our cbil- t Iren in the schools ^bere the per- 1 nrrn who are put in to teach are leraons of industry, virtue sobriety I nd insecurity, then will the public i chools be turning from their moulds d secondary citizenship that will ease to migrate.
