THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL.

The committee on teachers has
made a fine selection by the ap-
pointment of Mr.. F. L. Cardoza
as principal of the high school and
Robert III. Terrell assistant. The
next reform that ought to be made
is the removal of Mrs. Martha
Tucker and a few more incompe-

This gentleman is one of our

despotic towards those who hap
pen to be under his power. Some

was necessary to show off his impor-

Geo. H. Richardson, esq, the brainy
man of local paper published in this

to write something worth remembering.
He made hosts of friends for the "Advo-

OUR SCHOOLS.

The colored schools of Wash
ington are very dear to the
colored people, for it is through
them that bright hope for the
future success of our youth is held
forth. We therefore get impatient
when we see men using a Temporal
ry, and in some cases accidental
lease of power against the best of
education. The trnsteeship Of our
public schools should mean more
than All opportunity to appoint
some one as teacher without being
duly qualified, and the removal Of
worthy teachers to crafty the
personal spleen of trustee who
dislike some of their friends. We
were in hopes that such condition
of affairs had passed away, but we
regret to learn that there still ex-
lists among the colored members of

which forbids a teacher to be

es the official acts of trustee, at
the risk of not dismissal, for that
would entitle an inquiry, but of
not being re-appointed.
The fact of the matter, as far as
the colored schools are concerned,
is there is too much personal gov
ernment, and the trustees
allow too many personal matters
to intrude into their official duties.
1t is not question with them as
to a teachers faithfulness aud COM
potency, but whether she or they
are friendly to those who differ

agement. We are satisfied that
the Hon Commissioners are
not aware of this condition of af-
fairs, and we take this opportuni-
ty of calling their attention to a
system of espionage and tyranny
existing in the Colored schools
which has no parallel in the coun-
try. This state of affairs does not
exist in the white schools, for
the trustees are above such petty
and mean practices, and besides
they have superintendent who
is something more than putty in
the hands of the trustees. The
colored schools are drifting away
from the advanced position held
by them, and unless the Honora-
BILE Commissioners turn their at
tention to the inside workings of
these schools, and depend less up
on those whose interest it is
to make rose-colored statements,

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

The school board, upon the rec
ommeudation Of the colored trus-
tee, J. Fl. Brooks, took a new depar-
ture at their meeting Tuesday last
in appointing TWO gentlemen to
positions in the colored High
School. The BEE has always fav-
ored, all things equal, the placing
of males in charge of the large
school buildings, and while the ac-
ton of the board was in harmony
with the views of the BEE, 1t Is to
be deeply regretted that the change
was not brought about without
SUNNI arily deposing of Miss NJ. j.
Patterson, the lady who for II
years has filled most acceptably
the responsible position of princi-
pal. Surely the colored schools
are not so heavily weighted with
good teachers that Mr.. Brooks can
afford to thrust thus abruptly out
of the schools a lady who is regard
ed as the brainiest teacher in the
corps. The reason assigned by Mr..
| Brooks for her removal that she
criticized his appointment, will not
satisfy parents who believe in hav-
ing good teachers for their chill
dren, and only goes to prove the
charges made against MIR. Brooks
Of exercing espionage and tyran-
ny over the teachers that has no
parallel outside of the colored
schools of Washington. The trou-
BILE with the colored schools is toe
much personal government based
upon likes and dislikes. No mat
ter how faithful a teacher may be
in the performance of her duties,
she is in perpetual dread of her
position by reason of some fancied
slight or thin skinicism on the
part OF trustee; IN fact, if a lady
under the present management of
the colored schools, has mind
enough to entertain an independ-
ent opinion she is marked for dis
missal at the first opportunity.
The time for that condition of af-
fairs should end, and the colored
people look to Commissioners Ed
munds, West and Lydecker to re-
lieve them of this oppression by
appointing a trustee in place of
MIR. Brooks, who is so full of bitter
prejudices as to visit upon the
head of unofending ladies the
spite and hate entertained by him
for some of their male friends,
who he is too cowardly to attack,

How to Cool a Room.

The following method of cooling q
room could be used to advantage at
small expense: The composing-room
of the New Orleans Ptcaytne is stu
atcd in the upper story OF its publica-
ton house, just under the root, and in
summer is extremely hot. An inspra-
ton seemed to have come to one of the
oppressed occupants, and in accord
ancc with it q vertical wooden box was
constructed in q corner of the room, with
openings at the floor and ceiling, and
furnished with a pipe for supplying
water at the top, and pan and drain
at the bottom for receiving the flow
and carrying it safely away. The sup
ply shaft was bent over the upper end
of the shaft and fitted with q rose like
that of watoring-pot, so as to deliver
spray instead Of solid stream. On
connecting with service pipe the
movement Of tho water was found to
cause an active circulation of tho air
in that part OF tho room, which was
drawn in at tho upper opening of tho
shaft and issued again, cool and fresh,
at the floor level. The most surpris-
ing thing about the experiment seems
to have been the effect of the water in
cooling the air to degree much below
its own temperature. With Mississip-
pi water, which when drawn from the
service pipe indicated temperature Of
81 degrees, the air in the room in which
the thermometer at the beginning
of the trial stood at Sc was cooled il
passing through the length of the shat
to "A degrees, or about 20 degrees be
low the temperature at which it enter
cd, and 10 degrees below that of Thu
| water which was used to cool it. o
, course, the absorption of heat by tn
evaporation of portion of the waite
accounts for its rofrigorating effect
. but the result seems to have been S

Stale Candies.

you have no idea how much wo
loss by candies becoming stale re-
marked well-known confectionery to q
Boston Glode reporter yesterday. "Thc
finer varieties, such as chocolate
creams, choice French mixed and fresh
fruit candies are quite worthless. Tho
comnlon candies we mott up and make

course, entails n considerable trouble
and expense"
"Why don't you sell stale candies at
reduced pricosP"
"My dear sir, that would never 10.
presume somo confectioners doit, but
it is very bad policy. Candies, you
see, stand on their own merits, and
there is no class of consumers moro
critical than the people who buy the
choice varieties. The class includes
many gentlemen, it is true, but it Is
largely composed of tho young of the
fair sex, and you can't fool the littlo
dears with stale candy. Not much!
They can toll, at the first taste, wheth-
or candy is as it should be or not, and
the sale of single box of poor candy
might do me great deal of harm
How is that, if the candy is sold as

"Why, don't you see? An immense
amount of candy is bought by young
men for their sweethearts. The best
candies costs, say, 81 per pound,

knows whore the candy camo from,

might DO done to mans business in
that way--a far greater injury than the
loss of few pounds of candy day.
In no branch of business is o roputa.
ton more to be desired than in mine. y
"Ilow long will candies keep fresh?n
THAT depends upon the candies and
the temperature and the character of
the place in which they are kept. Some
kinds will not keep fresh twenty-four
hours, and others are perfectly good
for week or even longer.
