Jimmie was taught in a colored church building, with scant light and board-shutter windows, which was rented by the schoolboard for one dollar a week. * * * * * * A few years later William graduated from the high school in Little Rock, to which he had been sent after finishing the work of the local school. Jimmie, now grown to "Jim, " had been taken out of school when he was in the "third reader, " to help his unfortunate mother and his shiftless step father to earn a living. The stepfather and... John Elliot had agreed together that too much learning would spoil any "biggity yaller nigger. " These two boys, now eighteen years old, still re sembled each other, but not as closely as when they were infants. Beings of the same genus or species are more alike in the earlier stages of their de velopment. Up to a certain period in their growth the foetus of the human is even indistinguishable from that of the ape. Long since had the face of Jim ceased to be confounded in the mind of people with the face of William.
