Thus, one sees that, here and there, particularly in Kentucky, there are
precedents for a division of the school fund in proportion to the taxes
paid by each race, but there has not been any general movement in this
direction. One is justified in concluding that, although the Southern
States stand steadfastly for race separation in both public and private
schools, they do not desire a division of the public school funds except
in proportion to the number of children of school age. It is true that
there have been some local legislative acts looking in that direction,
and a few sporadic political movements to the same effect; nevertheless,
the fact that the local legislation has not become general since the
Negro has been practically eliminated from politics and that the
political movements have met with such scanty popular support show that
the people are satisfied with the present arrangement as to the division
of the school fund.
