ASSIGNMENT OF TEACHERS FOR THE
YEAR.
On Saturday about o'clock the teachers Of
cclored public schools for Washington and George
town, numbering about lightweight, including
these recently appointed, assembled at the Sum
school hall for the purpose Of receiving their
assignment for the ensuing year.
While many OF the best teachers in our cOIored
schools are native citizens, educated in the pub
lie schools Of Washington under the management
Of the present superintendent, others are from
different parts Of the country, trained in North
ern academies and colleges, making in all very
efficient class of teachers 1t is a creditable fact
however, that the highest average percentage
attained at the recent examination for teacher
ships were among the pupils graduating out of
the Sumner High School. The superintendent,
Mr.. George F. Cook, welcomed the teachers with
neat speech, concluding with brief but minute
statement in regard to the registers, showing q
thorough knowledge Of every record under the
system and proving at once that the schools by
his management are among the best conducted
schools in the country. The reports are remark
able for their detailed statements of everything
connected with them, showing at once the exact
status Of every pupil and teacher during the
school year.
Trustee Henry johnson congratulated the
teachers on their return to their respective fields
earnest desire, aided by them and his colleagues,
to make the cOlOred schools Of the District second
to no other schools in the country.
Trustee John h. Brooks brings into the board
experience and general information about the
