EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH
Wan Interested In Clarence '
While's letter recently printed In
News-Keview, chiefly because bo:
j many people seem to bold the same
view, in regard to the south.
I Mr. While hinueif probably does.
'Yet, If be worked on a (arm until
ter. Vhy doesn I Mr. White or
sointbouy name the s liiuus trial
monsters, the capitals and point
out the mills owned by them? Just
one or two of them these things
can be easily proved, or disproved.
This 1 know there is not a
state in the south but has Its child
labor laws. It the south is lighting
the amendment, it is because H be
lieves in state rights and because
umt&u
it is less honey-combed by social
some other sections.
il ut the child-labor amendment
has been discussed until every bouy
is tlreu or the subject.
It is in regard to education la the
south that 1 wish to speak. It is not
fair to that section that anyone
should remain under the impres
sions Mr. White seeks to convey in
his letter. He must be a very old
man. Indeed, if school only "kept"
three months in a year when he
was a boy.
When 1 first struck the south in
Is Mi, the public school- term was
lour months. At that time the south
was very poor, us a result of the
civil war. A few years later, the
term- was extended to five mouths.
And now one southern state, at
least, has a public school system
second to none. This state Is North
Carolina and I positively know
whereof I write, for I have rela
tives there with whom 1 keep con
stantly in touch. Their children are
conveyed back and forth in public
conveyances to consolidated schools
all the small, isolated school houses
have been done away with,
I Why should not the south have
such a school system? After years
! of bitter poverty, It has become one
