W e certainly ,
lament his untimely death —The
Herald of United Churches
An Addres Delivered by Prof.
H. L Walker.
[Concluded from Last week.]
The Southern people wre rich
pauperism was at a low ebb and
academics, and colleges for the
aristocracy flourished and abounded
—no provision however was made
for the education of the masses,
and the inevitable consequence was
the result—a deplorable state Os
illiteracy among the white popula
tion. Again the South especially
needs national assistance, because
it is here that a kind beneticient
Providence has planted the Negro
to stay and for the furtherance of
the divine plan of civilixation and
the chiseling of his Negros own
fortune —educational facilites and
advantages must be copious: and
the more important is this necessity
when it is remembered that the
colored people, increasing at the
rate of 35 per cent every 10 years.
In 1863 the government emancipa
ted the colored people of the South
and left them in a land not flowing
with milk and honey but upon the
“old plantation” barren friendless
unschooled in sell government
without book and without hoe. It
at this time the government had
passed such a measure for his edu
cation as the whole country is now
clamorous for we would h 've be-n
more intelligently equipped for that
most stupendous of all acts—tint of
being ciiizecizcd and sub-cqueiitly
enfranchised. But, however thus
emancipated, thus citizenized ami
thus enfranchised without any
habit of thrift and economy he vet
needed education lo qualify him for
the duties which einmcipation and
citizensenship imposed. In the
Stales of South Carolina. Alabim.,
Geogia, Louisiana and North Caro
lina more than half the voting pop
ulation are illiterates, and with such
a deplorable state of affairs the
colored people of the South have
been tor 20 yeais a tool in the
hands of political demagogues who
have lilched from them their birth
right and clandestinely and system
atically pi everted good institutions
into bad government. In the
present status of political impurity,
the expression at the ballot box
cannot be safely relied upon as a
criterian for the expression of hon
est men, but rather the work of
tiesigning mobs, and rings and
cliques of stump politicians who
have no scruples against riding into
power over the heads of the deluded
and ignorant masses.
But if we must have a strong
c mntry and a strong government,
better suffrage and more intelligent
suffrage is highly essential. 11 ig
norance is allowed to prevail in the
choice of statesmen then patriotism
is lost sigh’ of, profound acquaint
ance with the Constitution will be
discouraged, political economy and
diplomacy, will lose their import
ance with the counsels of out legis
lators, and anaichy and misrule will
be enthroned. It is then the duty
of our national government to pro
provide against such a calamitous
tendency of our great ship of state;
to see that her bulwai k- are upheld
by none but intelligent and Captble
m ti, rich in experience and patri
otism. To so educate the masses
th it they may be able to express
in'elligently their opinion when it
'•otnes to place statesmen at the
helm of our government. This
measure of national aid to education
contemplates a step toward civilizi
ti >n and progress, the import nice
of which some of our national b'gis
lators have not began to compre
hend, so that to-day -it still drags
its slow' length along” through our
national halls contending manlu ly
for existence, and up to this very
d >y it has yet to pass its Waterloo
of constitutional objections. This
is a time and occasion when public
opinion,.pubic.- semiim-ntjn ,\nie
ric. must regaie herself in all her
habiliments of warlike argument
and make the will of the people the
law of the Imd. If however this
Palladium ngiinst illbe-acv should
survive the turbulent sh >ck, and
the shower of legal oratorical talent
winch file oppo<ers, belonging re
spectively to the constitutionality,
ch.Sses. tlm basis of illiteracy—digs :
a. d t he class legis aiion—class have
i.■ dus’i iogsly arrayed .gainst its.
ee »■ t m m’• if this measure shuld i
survive the embarrassments of legis
|a five delay .nd negligent, and in
spite if all this fl .urisheJ of hostile
trumpets, became a potion of I
American law then it may be pro
fitable for us at’ least, to review in
brief a few of the practical benefits
with which the bill would be capa
ble of subserving good
of the people. (I)MHlle 1 believe
to a limited extent in the autonomy
of States, and while I believe that
there should not radicate from the
central government Washington
all over this proud nation anything i
that seems like absolute royal au
thority. yet I do hold that in the
apportionment and disbursement of
this proffered boon, the govern
ment should say how it should be
spent and who should be its agents.
Again I feel that much good will be,
accomplished if a reosonable por
tion of the proceeds according to
each State be spent in perfecting
the system thereof increasing the
school capacity and in paying the
teacher a living salary. And again
in order that the intention and pur
pose of the bill might be best and
happily subserved it seems best
that the apportionment should be
made safely upon the Basis of illit
eracy and not population; for in
the event that apportionment was
made agreeable to population then
the great State of New York which
is said to be worth in taxable prop
erty as much as all Southern States,
would receive nearly SB,OOO 000.
[ believe fur her that the aid should
be continued until the States are
ible to take care of themselves, the
State in the mean time appreciating
a like um in order that they may
not feel wholly dependent upon the
nation d government for the educa
tion of their illiterates. It will be
the beginning of an educational
epoch in the history of Georgia
when such a bill becomes a law.
Here we are burdened with a half
million illiterates so whom we offer
school advantages for these months
in the year and because of the
mediocrity of our School advant; 12,’es
many of our young men and wo
men are growing up in total ignor
ance. With tne passage of the
Blair bill 6.000.000 of dollars would
come flowing into our coffers, our
schools would operate pereniaily,
the log cabin, the barn and the
famed “air” castle of many a sylvan
gr< ve, would be supplanted by the
model school house, well ventilated
and criwned with bell ringing out
rhe false, ringing m the true, ring
ing out the old, ringing tn the new.
in conclusion national , aid to
education will develop national
-en iments, a national langu ige,
National interest, common hopes
and aspirations, a patriotism for
c mutry quite indistinct from love
i f State, It will be one of the hap
piest solutions of the Negro prob
-1 tn. it will be leaver which shall
I aven the whole lump of ignorance
and thus Will come the day when
intelligence and pence and good
government ofli cred bv “men who
'Io ir du ies kuo.v. But know their
rights and knowing, dare maintain,”
shad spread througa every section
ot tlii- A met ic.ni continent. Fo.rner
generations have pas-ed away and

right legacy of illiteracy; and des
pite the improved methods and ed
ucational facilities on the part of
local and general government, the
| large bequests of p tbiic lands de-j
signed for school purposes, yet in
j t.iis southern section the illiteracy
! 6.000.000 citizens waiting at the
portals ot our national capital is
in >re terrible than an army with

day will sp‘ j ed when ancient forms

to the noble modes of life, and
when men in high places shah
