Institute.

The Butte City Teachers Institute held its
last session for the year Saturday afternoon.
Owing to the state of the roads the attendance
was smaller than usual, but the exercises
were made very interesting for those who
were present. Miss Searles gave a number
class exercise which illustrated the kind of
work being done in our school. The pupils
reflected great credit on themselves and their
instructor, as well as the system employed.
b. NJ. Anderson, in a brief but excellent
paper, showed the utility of tactics in the
school-room.
Miss CroSsman read all able paper upon tie
relation of teacher to parent. As many of
the parents, who could not he present, will
be glad to read this and ought TO read il, we
shall publish it the coming week.
The state of the weather would hot allow
Miss Butcher to be present with her class in
objects.

The Entertainment.

The theatrical performance last night by
home talent, was well attended, and excel
lent in all respects. The ladies and gentle
men of the company were we'll up in their
lines, and were much more at home before
the footlights than on the previous occasion.
AS DR.. Harlem, Mr.. j.. F. Forbls displayed
dramatic abilities of 4 high order. Mr.. J. W.
Forbis, as his son Harry, was admirable, and
Mr.. A. j. Moves, though a trile emphatic in
his gestures, acquitted himself well. Mr..
David Marks made an excellent Boil Wind
els, L comedy part, and brought down the
house on several occasions. Mr.. G. W.. Pope
was also good. The ladies eclipsed them
selves. Miss NJ. J. Noyes, as Lucy Harlem,
showed admirable conception of her part,
which she played to perfection. Miss Minnie
Buck looked lovely and displayed genuine
histrionic ability, and Miss Helen Pierce, as
Dilley, completely captivated the audience.
Tn farce went off in fine style. Mr.. W.
7. Bcardman as a commsdian is at once
grand and awful, and captivated the occupants
of the first circle by his winning ways. Mr..
T.. A. kempton and Mesdames George F.
Marsh, John Marsh and VIM. Howe surprised
and delighted the audience with their finished
acting. and considering they had not many
rehearsals, are entitled to great credit. 1t is
s%iecerely TO be hoped the amateurs may give
other performances, for besides being for a
charitable purpose, are really excellent in an
artistic point Of view.

which the responsible duties of his office have
been discharged which being carried, the

recaat their anti-railroad resolutions of last
year. A well-inforned Madisonite says that
the resolution writing and speechifying per-
formed in the convention alluded to was the
work of lazy and ~impecunlous citizens of
Madison, who had no property interests at

AN UNJUST MEASURE.

At the last meeting of the Board
of School Trustees, special com
mittee was appointed to take into
consideration the renting of the Mis-
sion Chapel on Market street, the
transfer thereto of one of the two
teachers employed at the Ringgold
st. School, and the establishment
therein of another public school for
colored children resident south of the
Assanpink Greek. We are informed
by member of the committee, that
while their report has not as yet been
agreed upon, the probabilities are
that they will report in favor of the
scheme. If the committee so report,
and their report is adopted, it will
practically deprive the colored people
of this city of the largest portion of
the meagre educational advantages
they now possess.
The school facilities provided for the
colored children in this city now consist
of our poorly constructed, lily venti-
lated building, Immediately adjacent
to the Bound Brook railroad freight
depot. But poor as it is, it contains
two rooms, and after a fashion, is a
graded school At least the big boys
are separated from the little girls and
algebra and the alphabet are not both
taught in the same room. And again
it is convenient of access for the most
of its pupils. Of the 1850 colored
people in this city, 1921 reside north
of the creek, and but 80 south of it.
And of the 80 South Trenton resi-
dents but IA are school children, and
S of these IA would be unable, by
reason of occupation, to attend the
proposed new school.
The colored people in Trenton en-
Joy poorer school facilities, as it is,
than those of any other city of SINH
lar size and importance IN the north
ern States. And if this new school is
established by the transfer of one OF

themselves into prominence by this
method, but it will be fortunate fol

the teachers from Ringgold street, the
sum total of the educational provision
for them will be: One ungraded room
taught by one teacher, for 1886 per
cent of the population, and precisely
equal advantages for Les per cent. of
the same. While this may satisfy the
Les, will it satisfy the $685.? Would
it be just and equitable?
We are fully aware of the disabili-
ties under which the colored school
children resident south of the creek,
land in every other part of the city,
for that matter labor But we ques-
ton if the working of such palpable
injustice to the many, for the sake of
the few, will remedy the wrong. We
acknowledge that it is unfair to make
six or seven children in the Third
Ward trudge past half dozen school
buildings all the way up to Ringgold
street, because they have a grand
uncle whose hair is kinky but we
fail to see where it would help matters
to make that many score of children
in the Seventh Ward tramp all the
way down to Market street, because
their own hair has a tendency to curl.
Some years ago respectable mem
Der of the board, who is now where
some people think Bob Ingersoll will
never be, remarked that the colored
school was and would remain a thorn
in the flesh to members of the board
as long as it was maintained. We
think the spirit of prophecy was
upon him-at least the history of the
school during the last ten years seems
to prove it. But if they endeavor to
divide the trouble in this manner,
they will have two thorns to contend
with.
This question of providing decent
and adequate educational advantages
for children, who are slightly of
color, as it were, will have to be
solved in a different manner from this.
As it is, no black man can give his
child even a halfway education at
the public expense, no matter how
much tax he may pay, nor how respec-
table he may be. II this measure is
adopted, he will hardly be enabled to
give him any at all
