first thing we find to be true In investi

cargo of slaves in this country down to
this hour, the hand of God has directed
the movement* of the colored race in thU
country. Slavery was a dark, a cruel,
and. if you will, an abominable institu
tion; but good came to the negro even In
slavery. For example, he learned the
white man's langung* :h<' foremost lan
guage of the world, he learned many of
th# white man's manners and customs;
he learned a little something about local
self-government; he ale.* learned how to

Compulsory School Attendance Law.
The colored llbllc schools of the. city
will begin on tomorrow morning at 0
o'clock for the after-Christmas session.
The new compulsory school attendance
law, recently emoted by the Georgia
legislature, goes into effect on that. day.
it is a 4 good law, and it is one which
lias long been needed in our common
wealth. AM good clt ire ns • will hail its
final adoption. The superintendent of
schools her** and tin* Richmond County
Hoard of Kducaton have done all In th«dr
power to inform the public as to the pro
vision!! of the law, and of the penalties
which are to follow' its disregard. Hon.
George Haim*, probation officer has been
selectrd as the truant officer to See that
the law Is complied with in every detail
Pa rent n and other guardians of little
a hirer are urged to send their chil
dren voluntarily to the schools on the
opening da) Is-t us crowd the schools*
out. That will *lo two good things in
my Judgment. First, it will save us
trom being arrested and fined for dis
obeying a state law ami also it will re
sult. In all probability. In tin* Hoard of
Kdueatlon docidiiig to build at once an
other school building for colored chil
dren. The law applies to all children be
tween eight and fourteen—they must, go
to schoo, whether they want to do so
or not. Of <*ouree. the old school ages'
-from ti to 8 still remains- but the con - (
pulsory attendance law applied only to
the children between 8 and 14. us
crowd the schools tomorrow morning as
never before.
The colored soldiers club under the
direction \f Rev. R. .1 McCann will soon
be making an appeal t oth© citizens for
assistance in carrying forward the work
for t!!20. Dr. McCann has made up his
committees and the list will be published
next Sunday morning. Many citizens will
be glad. I am sure, to co-operate with
ihc Community Service luc., in fostering
tltls good work in our community.
