ELECTION OF PRINCIPALS.
The Board then went into the election
OF principals for all the schools. Pre-
ceding the election the Superintendent
asked the Board to decide the question Of
principaIs for the colored schools.
Mr.. J. Taylor Ellyson, chairman OF the
Board, said that he was in favor of re-
storing the principals to the positions from
which they were removed by the former
Board. This he would do both as mat
ter Of justice and wise policy-of justice
because those men bad been wrongfully
disposseSsed, and Of wise policy because
he believed that it was for the best inter-
eStS OF the colored schools that it should
be DONE He would, therefore. vote for
the restoration OF all the principals who
had been turned out by the Readi uster
Board, and for putting white principals in
charge OF the cOlored schools.
DR.. s. =. Moore SAID he was in favor OF
replacing all the displaced principals; they
were efficient, and were discharged with
out cause.
Mr.. William Lovepstein said that he
wanted to do what was for the best inter-
ests OF the colored people, and the public
schools will be greatly promoted by the
restoration OF the former principals.
Some OF the most intelligent cOlored men
OF this city think that it WILDE best to have
white principals for colored schools, and
have so expressed themselves. In the last
Legislature Senator Norton (colOred) OPP
posed strenuOusly the law to give colored
trustees to the colored schools, and surely
il they do not want colOred trustees they
do not mt colored principals. am, said
he. in favor Of colored teachers for the COL
ored schools OF our city, but / favor the
restoration OF the white principals to the
positions they formerly occupied.
MIR. Garnett said that the colored princi-
pals would not report the ineficiency OF
the colored teachers.
Mr.. William II. Williams said that the
restoration OF the white principals to the
colored schools would help the colored
chi .dren and teachers by association. 1t Is
said that we should elevate the colored
race, and with competent white principals
in the colored schools there must be an adj
vance in intelligence.
The several members Of The Board eX-
pressed themselves in favor OF restoring
the white principals, and the following
principals and teachers were then unani-
mously elected:
