We shall continue 10 recur to this subject,
from time to time, as occasion shall seem to
require. 1t Is important that public atten-
ton should be fixed upon 1t, so that from
timely reflection and deliberation such action
will be evoked as will he conducive to secure
tho desired end.
As appropriate to the question we call at
tention TO the following statement Of
penses, receipts and profit, Of the Boston
Jubilee, which may be regarded a. pertinent
to the grand contamination VIC desire: The
total receipts Of the Jubilee for Eve days
were s413,000; the total expenses were
s31l ,000j the profits were tl0l, 700. Thus
you see what little united, harmonious ef-
fort will do, In connection with shrewd man
agemcnt, for the success Of an entertain.
ment In one single department of art, which
in the short period Of five days realizes
sl0l, 700 as net gain to the stockholders.
Now, let us apply some Of this shrewdues
and practical business management to tn,
project we now have before us, for the hold
Ing an international fair In this city, ant
effects equally as satisfactory In the genera
result will undoubtedly follow. This, how
ever, will not como without temporary sacri
fee OF time, attention, and money. 1t will
not come Of itself; but only through indi-
vldual effort combined with organized sys-
tematlG work. Let no one hold back, and
every man put his shoulder to the wheel.

Prof Vashon, in the course Of the discus
sion upon the mixed school question on
Tuesday evening, said that Sin the present
condition Of the spirit of the public he would
not allow his children TO go TO school under
this Board; but Ii was q stigma upon him
10 leave the word white there. Strike out
that word, and there would still be white
and colored schools
Now we do not Bee 1t in this light. We
look upon 1t merely as distinguishing word
TO express an existing fact, inasmuch as the
community is made up Of two races Of PEG.
pie having this broad distinction between
them; and SO long as there exists the wide
spread feeling Of social antagonism which
springs up In consequence Of these differ.
ences, peculiar to each, there Is no impro
priety In the use Of such words as are neccs-
sary to describe this difference; not by way
Of elevation or depression to either, but for
that distinction which the nature Of the case
necessitates to describe what is unavoidable.
The word "colored," as applied to the
colored schools, Is 10 be understood In the
same way, merely as descriptive term.
There was time, perhaps, when We were
under slave law and slave construction In
almost everything, that an offensive stigma
would have been drawn from this by pothesis
but that state Of things has passed away
The civil law now makes no difference as To
rights and civil status. Both races stand OF
the Same equal footing. Now, when tn,
word colored Is used it Is used, not as
stigma, but for the Same reason the word
white Is used, and with the same slgnin
canoe. Hence, wo have "colorod schools
and "whitc schools" Neither 10 subordi.
nate to the other; but both are on equal
footing, save the natural difference which
ago and precedence necessarily give to those
schools which have been established the
longest. 80 far as the principle Of action is
concerned they are alike, and other things
being equal the same results will follow. We
are inclined to think the remark Of tn,
Professor Ia more technical than real, ant
therefore nothing really practical is to b.
gained by the erasure Of the word "whlte.
1t 10 not used now, In this connection, In tn
sense represented by Mr.. Vashon, const
quontly there Is no practical objection agains
