Kellogg & Co No. What Shall Be the Education of the People? With Special Reference to the Problem in the South. By President Charles W. Dabney, of the University of Tennessee. (Concluded.) versality and diversity are thus the two principles ication. Each soul has a right to an education, hat education should be in accordance with his iven nature. These are the principles that undersystems of public education. Testing our public Is in the South by them, we will see finally how nedly we have failed. he first place, how fully have we applied the prinof universality, that is, the education of all the ? Our doctrine supposes an equal opportunity elementary education, at least, for every child in mmonwealth. Have we provided this? We well we have not. We have fallen far short of our In this respect. In order that we may grasp the ze of the problem before us, let us look calmly at a acts. In the states south of the Potomac and east O Mississippi there were, in 1900, in round numbers, 0,000 people, 10,500,000 of them white and 6,000,lack. In these states there were, in round num1,000,000 waite and 2,500,000 black children of lage (five to twenty years), a total of 6,500,000 en to be educated. in Mississippi there were 00 white and 380,000 colored children. What an of young people to be educated! How they are ning on. Many of them are beyond our help, or e in less than ten years. e important question is, What are we in the South for these children? Let us see! Only sixty per of them were enrolled in the schools in 1900. The ge daily attendance was only seventy per cent. of enrolled. Only forty-two per cent. are actually hool. One white child in five is left wholly illitCareful analysis of the reports of state superdents showing the attendance by grades, indicates the average child, whites and backs together, who ds school at all stops with the third grade. In n Carolina the average citizen gets only 2.6 years, uth Carolina 25 years, in Alabama 2.4 years of ling, both private and public. In the whole South verage citizen gets only three years of schooling of nds in his entire life! This is the way we are edug these citizens of the republic, the voters who will to determine the destinies not only of this people f millions of others beyond the seas. Have we not onary work enough to do here at our own doors out going to Cuba, Porto Rico, or the Philippines? t why is it that the children get so little educaHave we no schools in the country? Yes, but kind of schools? The average value of a school erty in North Carolina is $180, in South Carolina in Georgia $523, and in Alabama $212. The age salary of a teacher in North Carolina is $23.36, outh Carolina $23 20, in Georgia $27, and in Ala$27.50. The schools are open in North Carolina verage of 70.8 days, in South Carolina 88.4, in L $6.64, and in Alabama $3.10 per annum. In oth words, in these states, in school-houses costing average of $276 each, under teachers receiving t average salary of $25 a month, we are giving the ch dren in actual attendance from two to five cents wor of education a day for eighty-seven days only in t year! This is the way we are schooling the childre In the second place, let us consider how schools sta as regards the principle of diversity-the education every man in accordance with his God-given natu Of all the public schools in the country perhaps the of the South are the most completely devoted to t three R's," which some one has described as "lit arithmetic, less reading, and least writing." Having ceived their methods from the church schools, the c leges for higher education were also devoted almost clusively to the classics, philosophy, and theolo These facts are too well known to need amplification. 66 The South is an agricultural section; its people m always support themselves by the rural arts. The pr lem of the South, therefore, like most sections of d country in fact, is the problem of the rural schools. T problem of making money enough to support a good s tem of public schools is the problem of improving t agricultural production. agricultural production. Until the farmer can ma more he cannot give much more for the support schools. Before the people in the sparsely settled ru districts can build worthy schools they must have p ductive farms and good roads to take their produce market. The campaign for better schools is, therefo closely associated with that for good roads and for 1 improvement of agriculture. In fact, these thi things must all go forward together. The methods agriculture must be raised thruout the country and go roads must be built before the people can support ru schools worthy the name. Our special problem, therefore, is the establishm of rural schools where the elements of natural scie and industrial arts are taught. Of all sections of country, the South is thus most in need of indust education of all kinds. The indifference to education among country peo grows out of a misunderstanding of what education The people are sick of the old education. In the wo of Dr. Murphy, "There has been too much of the e cation that looks towards vanity and not enough of t which looks towards common sense, practical equipm for the actual opportunities of life." The true edu tion supports the life that the man or the woman is lead; it is training for complete living. How absu yes, how wicked it is then to train the farmer's chilor who must live in contact with nature on the farm, in fashion that fits them only to be bookkeepers or sal women in a city. The trouble with the old educat was that it educated all of the bright young people |
