-iT. George ". H2ttJ1 said that thoITh he
II Shit not agree with the resolutions, he diI a.
prove the one looking 20 the appointment Of a
comm ttec 20 wait upon the trustees and asccr-
"a Il WY George +. i. Cook Was removed from
the position OF superintendent OF colo-ed schools
lie vas here as friend OF Mr.. Cook, tdaa
whom 10 man in the CITY had better deserved
the respect and GOODWILL of the cOlOred people
of Washington. and he was surprised a. the au-
dacity OF the trustees for removing Mr.. Cook.
The colored people of the District owed il 20
themselves now to manifest their esteem for one
who has been indefatigable in promoting the
interGst Of the coiOred schools and in dissem,n.
atng sound educational views. He wanted the
frit Ids OF the cOored schools to show their con-
sistency by supporting and encouraging the
public schools, and not send their children TO
the white schools. He wanted the Board Of
Trustees of Colored Schools to be abolished, and
hoped the people would continue to agitate the
subject until Congress assembled, then Pc
tition that body for its adjustment, and then
their children could attend the white schools
HOW THIS MEETING WAS CALLED.
MI. Archibald Lewis here explained that rep
resentatives from Georgetown and from every
ward in this city had met at his house and
deter mined to call this meeting. His children
attended a school, and made such progress as to
snow the fact that their t. .cher could not be
eAcelied. Still she had been reno I'd. He was
property holder, and was taxed for the sup
port OF the schools, and it was to his inter st +
see that they had GOO tea hers.
UNPoPULARITY OF sYPHAX.
MT Anthony Bowen Said, no matter wha.
2; ople thought OF Mr.. Syphax there were not
ten men who could assert that he was popular
as school trustee. Besides, the people had
right 10 complain when the trustees went out OF
me city TO find a competent person to superin
tend the schools, when there were plenty in our
nldst competent for that duty. He knew tina
MT. Cook was gentleman, and wholly CONNIE
tent to superintend the affairs of the schools
He wanted the colored people u defend and
protect their rights. There was no rubbing out
olat mere was pro- cripion on account of color,
even among the colored peOpe. What YVES the
Use OF lodging the question? A personal feud
existed IN the First Ward among some of the
leading friends OF the colored schools. and he
diu not know but what that arose from too
much authority, for the First Ward st cmed TO
have all the appointments. The Seventh Ward,
although POOR, paid quite as much taxes as the
First ward, and yet there was but one teacher
an tne Seventh Ward that was a res ident of that
ward.
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
. Eugene johnson here attempted TO get the
moor, and we reading the law providing that
the teachers appointments expire at the end OF
ach scholastic year when he was cried to from
all sides to ''sit 'nwr;" an the entire series OF
iesolutions were adopted, and the meeting adj
journed.
