ACTION TAKEN By RESIDENTS OF THE EIGHTH SCHOOL
DIVISION.
A meeting was held last night OF residents Of the
eighth division, colored schools, who are dissat.
isfied with the appointment OF DR.. G. b PurviS as
school trustee, the eighth division being now left
without representative on the board. Mr.. Peter
c. Bell presided. with Mr.. Chas E. Williams secre-
tary. The chairman, Mr.. Jno +. Smith and others
made speeches, in which they criticised Dr. PQrvis
for sending his own children to white school,
A committee, consisting OF Messrs. A. b. Chew, r.
MsRim 1.lHii,nr ana c. Lewis was appointed to draw
lulionS, which were adopted. These resolutions
protested against the action OF the Commissioner s
denying them resident trustee, anu submitted
whether the Commi sIoners ought to insist upon
striking down local representation for the co.Ored
$; ho3ls on the school board. The resolutions fur
'her declared that any attempt to break up the
separate organization OF thocOiOrel schools at the
present time and to merge them in the white
muster out and discharge the colored teachers-is
hostile to the best interests OF the cOlored people,
and likely again to stir up race prejudice, now
happily dying out, and soon, we hope, to be buried
ana forgotten" Messrs. j. d. Clark, Simon
Winters and J. Nathan Davis were appointed
tions Of the eighth division TO devise plans for lay
ing their grievances before Congress.
