PUBLIC OFFICERS.

The manner and bearing of a
public officer should always be
courteous and polite, for the public
service is generally measured by
its agents, and officials can make
an administration popular or bring
it into contempt and bad repute
by their insolent bearing and un-
gentleman Y manner towards those
whom they have business with.
The latter Is the trouble with Mr..
John III. Brooks, trustee of public
schools, who, either bv his length
of service or natural disposition,
assumes a dictatorlal relationship
with those identified with him or
having business relating to the
schools, which is in the highest de-
gree offensive and at times almost
unbearable. The method of his
mannerism consists in presenting
veneered front when dealing
with superiors, and giving vent to
his feelings upon some unfortunate
teacher or poor devil of janitor.
1t is not expected of the Honora-
BILE Commissioners that they should
follow and examine into the per-
sonality of their appointees, but
the responsibility of license to con-
tinue their rudeness and worse rest
with them by perpetuating them
in office. after having their atten-
ton called to it. The present
school year Mr.. Brooks has outdone
himself, perhaps it is because he
stated early in the year that he did
not intend to serve again as trustee,
and was therefore regardless of
consequences. As he has changed
his mind it is to be hoped that the
Hon. Commissioners will grant
him respite from the responsible
and laborious duties of school trus-
teeship by appointing gentleman
who has some regard for the feel
ings of the colored people of the
District.
The bee., 1884-06-28

and mighty as Mr.. Brooks. They
have adopted the plan to look after
the school children first, and let the
officials wait. Mr.. Brooks takes
the other view. He and his sup
erintendent must have palatlal
quarters, whether the children are
provided for or not. By the way,
what would become of the schools
if MIR. Brooks, which may Heaven
prevent, should happen to die?
wouldn't they go to the "demni-
ton bow vow" in short order?
1t Is really oppressive to think that
the great interest of public educa-
ton should be suspended Oh the
slender thread of a single life. But
then there are some things the peo-
pie have to stand, any how. They
have had to stand Brooks. After
that they can stand most anything.
The bee., 1884-06-28
SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The citizens of the Eighth school
division in asking for a resident
school trustee are simply doing
what the white citizens did in the
case of Warner VS. Birney. General
Birney living in the county, was as
signed to the Second school dis
trict. The citizens ofthe second dis
trict protested against the assign
ment and asked for Mr.. Warner,
who was a resident of their
district. Their wishes were respect,
ed and the change nude. If the
white citizens of the Second school
district deemed a resident trustee
an advantage to their school inter
est, we fail to see that like bene.
fit will not accrue to the Colored
citizens of the Eighth division.
