OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We are convinced and always
have been that is necessary for the
Commissioners to supervise our
public schools. The new bill if it
should pass both houses of con
gress entitles the people to tweuiy
four trustees. The colored people
ckiim that they want one third of
the trustees. The number as a
matter of fact will be left to I he

pendent papers publish the colored
people as they do other citizens.
The colored people should learn
how to demand the respect of white
journals by supporting those that
know how to appreciate the race.
Why should there bo a separate
column in a paper that the people
of color support? In this city as
well as in other cities there is a
great deal of
CHRISTIAN HYPOCRACY.
There is as much need for reform
in the church as there is in any
other institution. Some pretended
christians to an extent have no more
regard for the truth thau they have
for condemning the devil. Let
the christian church do its duty.
DISTRICT REFORM.
If there is any government in
this universe that needs reforming
it is our District government. We
have three first class Commission
ers who will do their duty at the
proper time.

that Mr. Matthews will not be con

of the republican party and ex

men never torget to revenge. They
are like the Indian. They would
sooner forget the wrongs done
them by the Anglosaxon than they
would forgive the injury done them
by their own race.
There must be a new generation ;
new blood must be infused into the
Negro before he will ever become
a race. I am of the opinion that
the Negro woman of education is
superior to the men of her race.
The old slave nations and ways
exist to a certain extent. The race
has not forgotten how treacherous
their fore-parents were to each oth
er. There is a lack of unity among
the colored people, which must be
chauged. The
CHILD
in school must be taught the lesson
of friendship and kindness. The
teacher hasa orroo- vncnrmgihilitv.
xuc mum obould receive its rudi
ments first at home. The mother
should see that the child is morally
taught before it is handed over to
the teacher. Some may think
that the teachers have an easy time,
but, uo one knows her responsibili
ty, the labor and care. Some go so
far as to say that the teacher in the
public schools receives too much
money. This is not so. Indeed, they
should receive more. Their work is
more laborious than a department
clerk, who is well paid and even
allowed 30 days leave with pay,
while the poor teacher must toil
day and night. The department
clerk rests after his office hours,
while the teachers must toil aud
labor over the register after school
hours. The teachers are not paid
for July and August. Are they not
public servants?

No ignoramus has any business
ou the school board. Aschool trus
tee should be a refined gentleman,
and highly educated. The delicate
feelings of women demand refined
aud educated men to be among
them. A school trustee should be
capable of entering a school aud
examining pupils in auy branch of
study. It is hoped that when the
school trustees are appointed un
der the new school bill, that the
Commissioners will see that those
who are to take charge of the col
ored schools possess the necessary
requisites. I feel sorry for some
people who after being thrown out
of society seek to revenge them
selves on others who have the re
spect and confidence of the people.
Men aud women should be careful
and build up society aud not en

YOUNG MEN

the young men are not so foolish as
they use to be. I am glad to see it
and hope that the will continue.
Yours lovingly,

Miss A. M. Franklin, tbe "ns
ing young colored tragedienne and
dramatic artist," has determined
to tear herself from this country
and go to Paris for two years of
dramatic instruction at the great
Conservatory there. Miss Frank
lin is a pretty negreds, rather more
of a blonde than most of her asso
ciates, and a number of colored
society people desiring to extend
to her a "testimonial reception
aud benefit" an entertainment at
Lyric Hall, on Sixth avenue, Mon
day May 17 was evolved.
There were three parts put
down on the programme. In the
first Miss Franklin and Mr. J. A.
Arneaux were to give a scene fiom
"Tbe Hunchback." In thesecoud
Demung's Newark Dramatic Com
pany came face to face with the
startling melodrama, "A Tramp's
Adventure; or, True to the Last;"
and the third and last was a love
scene between the young tragedi
enne as Juliet and Mr. Arneaux
as Romeo.
The pernicious habit of dining
late that many families iu this
town have made the gathering a
late one. So it was 9 o'clock be
fore 1 he three hun Ired chosen ones
filled the hall and it was nearly
an hour later before the charming
Miss Franklin app ared upon the
bi ards and the pent-up applause
rolled out a welcome to he
The audience was a model one,
and could have given points to
Madison Square or Walluck's.
There was none of the untimely
levity that marks ordinary theat
rical gatherings, and no sign of
that lightness that so fiequently
mak' s pe ple laugh out 1 'Ud right
in the middle of a funny episode.
Those present recognized tbe grav
ity of the occasion and behaved
accordingly. A little Skye ter i
er came out and barked viciously
at a critical moment, just when
Romeo was assudng Juliet that
he really did not care ab ut his
name, but nobody smiltd 'for a
moment. The antics of the animal
were passed over with that well
bred indifference that rubrics the
cast of Vere de Vere.
The costumes were effective and
varied and as elegant as they were
