CENERAL OBSERVATIONS.
ln the thlrd place. my object aaa
to make general observatlon upon
racial conditions as is my unlversal
cuBtom.
The educr.tor ls apt to look flrst
into educationai conditions and. In
this regard. tbe zone. under study
furnishcs a most Interesting situa
tion. In thf southern tier of states
Including Maryland, West Virginia.
Kentucky, and Mlssouri. there are
separate sehoola for the tao races. In
other portlons of the upper tler of
states. the sehoola are partially mix?
ed and partially separate and atlll lr.
other portlons they ara aholly mix?
ed. By observlng tbe operation of
this three-fold arrangement, oae haa
a peeullar opportunity of determln
inp the value to Neg* *?s of mlxed
and separate schools. Here. as else
where, the csreful investigator will
I too hasty ln reachlng aa
ing generalization. I flnd thtt the
aaattasaat of the people is divided on
? lic>. the neneral drift of Judg
nient be'ng to the effect that mixed
schools in communitles where senti
Bieat is such as to give the Negro the
full advantage and Insplratlon which
Ihe school should afford. are desir
able. Put. whcr.vor th?> [TaglO con
stitutes a considerable fractlon of
tho whoie comniunlty. public sentl
m.-nt. nnfortunately. ta Buch that th*
cdlored chlld mlsses the requls'te in
splratlon and incontive. It is a
notnble fuct that wherever separate
hlam aahaaaa exiat. although th*
standards of admission are uniform
and invariable. there are thr.
four timea as many Negro boys and
