THE SCHOOL BOARD.

AS the School Board question
has been brought before the pub
lie through the mass meeting OF
Wednesday last it is now pubic
matter and subject to public DIS
cussion.
I'm the resolutions passed by the
mass meeting occurs the following
remarkable statement: "Ihat we
tender a renewal of confidence IN
the ability of our State Senator
the Hon. Geo. w. Montgomery TO
represent US, and cordially en-
dorse all appointments that have
been made at his suggestion"
This endorsement of Geo. W.
Montgomery's appointees applies
To the School Board, in whom IN
another resolution the mass meet
ing express "full confidence" in
their " liability and fitness for the
positions" this last applying
specially to the three members
who were removed.
The acts of the School Board are
then approved and endorsed. The
three removed members make
majority of the Board and they
are responsible for the acts OF the
Board. The Board at its las
meeting held Sept. 9Th "orderef
that the date for opening OF tn
white schools be Monday TIT
sixth day of October and for open
ing the colored schools, Monda.
the third day of November.
Here is a plain violation OF tn
law. Why are not the colore
schools opened at the same tim
as the white? Just Why tn
colored schools should be deprive
of q months teaching is not ciea'

clear which is that the Scho'
