School Segrega Hon Pro blem
Came Up in Salem in 1871
By BEN MAXWELL
Capital Journal Writer
Racial segregation in Salem
schools? Of course there was never
any such thing.
No? What about Little Central
primary school built in the late
1860s at the corner of High and
Marion streets exclusively for col
ored children? In 1871 Mrs. L. A.
Mallory was employed as teacher
there at a salary of (40 a month
paid in gold coin.
Early Oregon Has Problem
Early Oregon did have a racial
segregation problem. Nor was the
territory generous in its treat
ment of it. Although slavery was
forbidden by the first organic act
of 1843, and never legally allowed,
some negroes accompanying slave
owning Southern immigrants into
the Oegon country were held in
bondage until they reached the
territory. In fact, there were fur
tive attempts made to hold them
in bondage even after they
reached this region.
If Oregon was against slavery
by a majority of 5052 as expressed
in the constitutional election Nov.
9, 18,i7, Oregonians were also
against the presence of free ne
groes and mulattoes in the teri-tory.
An effort had been made to

Salem Student
On Paper Staff
Gene Eiswerth, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert S. Eiswerth, 810 Mis
souri St., is circulation manager
of the Tiger, the Colorado college
weekly newspaper.
As circulation manager, Eis
werth mails the papers to sub
scribers, advertisers, and sees that
they are distributed to the student
body. The Tiger has a staff of 20
and a circulation of 1500.
Colorado college is a coeduca
tional, liberal arts college in Colo
rado Springs, Colo. Forty-two
states and eleven foreign countries
are represented in the student
body.
I supplement the organic act to
require all persons who brought
slaves into the territoy to remove
them within three years. They
sought to have free negroes leave
within two years or risk the pen
alty of being flogged every six
months as a penalty for violating
the law.
Special Act Required
Only by special act of the legis
lature in 1852-53 was George Wash
ington Bush, a colored man of
high standing, and a veteran of
the war of 1812, allowed to reside
in the territory. Ashael Rush, ed
itor of the Statesman in 1857,
declared: "we have but few nig
gers here, but quite as many of
that class as we wish to see."
Reading between the lines of
scanty minutes for Salem school
district No. 24 in the late 1860s
leads one to believe that Little
lentral primary school for the
lown's colored children was built
In 1868 at a cost of $1407.34. A
Salem newspaper of Jan. 1, 18117
says the school was built specific
ally for colored children. Salem
city directory for 1872 mentions
that 15 pupils were then in at
tendance there, 10 boys and five
girls.
One Was Wrong
Official census statistics for both
Salem and North Salem in 1870
give a total population of 1923 of
whom 18 were colored. Judging
from school attendance 'at Little
Central either the 1870 census was
inaccurate or only adult heads of
families were enumerated among
local colored people.
Among prominent negoes in Sa
lem in this interval was Hi Gor
man, who hand-turned a printing
press before the coming of a
steam engine. Hi tippled, how
ever and operation of the press
and the hour of the paper's pub
lication were irregular. Some
times the "power" failed entirely.
Mrs. L. 11. McV.ahan, teacher
at nearby Rig Central in 1900. re
calls that two-room Little Cental
was not then a school for col
ored children. Primary grades
were taught in the structure with
Ms. Alice H. Dodd as principal
and Miss Maria D'Arcy as second
grade teacher.
