Excerpt from Supervision of Rural Schools for Negroes In other communities the Opposition lasts longer. Recently I visited a school where the teacher is unable to have any regular day or period for industrial work, because if the parents know of it they will keep their children at home on these days. In another county the supervising teacher was speaking to a meeting of patrons in a school at night. In the course of her remarks she condemned the common dances and festivals which nearly always resulted in drinking and a cutting or shooting a ray, and urged amusements of a different kind. This so enraged some of the young people that from the dark ness outside a bottle of ink was thrown through the window at the teacher and its contents emptied on her dress. The court records showed that nearly all of the Negroes in the penitentiary or jail from that county were there as a result of cutting and shooting at Negro fair. These examples could be multiplied, showing the courage and devo tion of the supervising teachers in their contact with the ignorant and prejudiced masses of their race.
