The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus

CHAPTER II
58/68

There were about three hundred pupils present, of all ages, from fifty down to three years.

There were all colors--white, tawny, and ebon black.

The white children were classed with the colored and black, in utter violation of those principles of classification in vogue throughout the Sabbath schools of our own country.

The examination was chiefly conducted by Mr.Cummins.At the close of the examination about fifty of the girls, and among them the daughter of Mr.Cummins, were arranged in front of the altar, with the female teachers in the rear of them, and all united in singing a hymn written for the occasion.

Part of the teachers were colored and part white, as were also the scholars, and they stood side by side, mingled promiscuously together.
