people of tbie eeetion with few excep

teems that the leading argument at
present egaioat removal le that a very
burdenaome tax will have to be levied.
We do not believe anyooe who will
Joet think for a moment will a Lay away
from the election on aocount of the

In considering the mull* of popular
education Id North Carolina, we must
compare this Stato wiUi all others In
ttie union. One of the results of edu
cation la wealth. lodged by this
standard, education In North Carolina
has lamentably railed. For with tbe
exceptions of South Carolina and
Mississippi the™ U lets wealth per
capita In North Carolina than any
where alee in this Union. Bat South
Carolina and Mississippi have over
half their population black. North
Carolina ono-thlrd only.
ILLITERACY IK BOBT.T CAUOLZKA.
But the first obj-ot of education is
to remora illiteracy. Judged bv this
standard our popular education lias
been as ignominious failure. In fact
there ia no auoh thing as popular edu
cation here. For the people arc nut
educated More than a third of lUoao
oyer ton years of ago cannot road or
write. Our condition ia wurse than
that of uny other State or territory ex
cept alx, naaaeiy: LooUana, South
Carollaa, New Mexico, Alabama,
M laalwippi and Georgia. But all thaae
states except NewMoxloo hive a larger
per cent of negro population titan
North Carolina, Virginia and Florida
also hare n larger per cent of negro
population than North Carolina, yet
their illiteracy Is Iras than oura.

Tbs fseta roe unpleasant to admit,
but tbe most humiliating la this, llmt
oar Slate was nearer being the most
Illiterate In lBbO than it had been in
1870. It ia true tire Whole amount of
Illiteracy was somewhat reduced.
But we bare been mure laggard than
other Southern States. Florida whleh
has nearly half Its popUtion blank has
gone by us. so that whereas In 1670 we
naked 8th in Illiteracy, in lead we
ranked 7th. At this rate it ta only a
question of lime when North Carolina,
tha other BtaUa baring educated tbrlr
children, will be tbe homo of the moat
Illiterate people in tbe American
Union. Shall we let this come to
pass ?

Tho oaues of this large per cent of •
Illiteracy is seen when we oompare tbo
•chool terms of other flutas with
North Carolina's. Tbo report of tbe
UatUd State* Commissioner of Kdu
cation for 1804 and IBM, gives tbs
average length of terms of tbe public
schools of tbo United Stales, ouo hun
dred and forty-one day* or over seven
moatbai North Carolina's is the
shortest term of all, sixty.throe Jays.
For twenty years we have been strug
gling in vain to teach four mouths in
the year. All the other flutes except
booth Carolina, Alabama Aod Oklaha
<na, have moro than a four months’
term. The school terms in New Jer
sey. Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Maryland, District of Columbia and
Connect tout are three times as long as
ours. There are thirteen flutes that
hare an eight months’ term or longer,
twenty-four 8ulus that have a sewn
months’ term or longer, thirty-on-:
SUtee (het have a Mx months’ term

ATTUXDAKCIS AT IHflt SCHOOLS
