SCHOOL AFFAIRs.-A meeting Of the
School Board was held last week, and at
the request Of Rev. r.. II. Porter, pastor
Of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, the use OF
the Market House building was granted
for the purpose Of holding State Institute
for colored teachers.
The petition published below, was pre-
scented and action thereupon postponed.
It seems to lis that the board should with
out hesitation, have resolved to appoint
cQlored teachers for colored schools where
ever they could be found competent Ia
fill the positions The petition was as fol
lows:
To the Hon. School Board of Staunton
Va. We, the colored citizens of Staunton
in MASS meeting assembled, May LIST, 1888,
after consideration, do petition your hon
ofable body to take into consideration the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting teachers Of our
own race in the colored public schools of
our city. While we don't believe in fos-
tering discrimination as to color, yet we
do believe that i'll us much as the school
laws OF our State recognize separate
schools, we should have teachers in accor-
dance We have III our ranks qualified
young men and young women who have
been educated for the sole purpose of bet
tering their condition morally and intel
lectllally and the furtherance Of the intel
lectual advancement of our race.
We therefore ilsk your honorable board
to put in oar schools such young men or
young women of our race rs may be found
qualified and competent to fill the same.
We ask this with no disparagement upon
the present corps Of white teachers, but
as q duty we owe to our educated young
men and women, and the interest we take
rs parents in the future intellectual ad-
vancement Of our children. Hoping that
our petition will meet with the hearty up.
probation Of your honorable body,
We are, very respectfully, tile eoldred
