This is the Republican record, leaving alto,etner out ofj the con
sideration, the fact that they put a negro on the Board of Education
and two negroes on each towriship board which managed both, while
and colored schoals, for we are entirely willing to take sober, busi
ness view of the matter entirely removed f'om race prejudice. Note,
however, that negro -chool teachers were paid by them more than
white teachers; that more money was apportioned to negro than white
not only given higher' priced
