In the south now is it more important to destroy commercial schools by collecting in good university institutions a sufficient body of students, or to provide high-grade teaching for a few, leaving utterly wretched teaching for the vast majority P The dilemma is worthy of very careful consideration. A word as to the colored school at leigh. This is a philanthropic enterprise that has been operating for well-nigh thirty years and has nothing in the way of plant to show for it. Its income ought to have been spent within; it has gone outside, to reimburse practitioners who supposed themselves assisting in a philanthropic work. Real philanthropy would have taken a very different course.
