It cites the New York Education Department report and Owen R Lovejoy, noting Massachusetts led the way in 1852 and 41 states followed. It challenges Texas to pass its bill, citing declines in negro illiteracy and calls for better school facilities. It ends with a kidney pills testimonial from W T Arbell.
