THE SCHOOL BOARD.
stirring up q Race Issue


10 he Editor OF The EEenin1 critic:
At the last meeting of the School Board
proposition was made to divide the
county into two school divisions, the effect
of which would be to place all the schools,
white and colored, of the west half of the
county, Tenallytown, Brightwood, Mount
Pleasant and Howard University under
the exclusive local control of the colored
trustee and all the schools, white and col
ored, of the east half of the county under
the exclusive local control of the white
trustee. Should this scheme prevail the
next step, following in logical order, would
be the appointment OF u colored supervising
principal for that half of the county in
charge of the colored trustee.
The proposition, it seems, failed to OBJ
tain the votes of two.thirds of the whole
board, as required by rule of the board
in order to change bylaw, and the pres-
dent, as he was bound to do, declared the
proposition lost.
Whereupon General Birney appealed
from the decision Of the chair, and his ap-
peal was sustained by q majority vote. If
this vote is valid and binding, then have
the y.laws and rules Of the board been
abolished because, If one bylaw or rule
can be set aside In this way another can
and all can. There Is no limit.
Therefore, in order to force through this
proposition to divide the county into two
school divisions and to impose upon the
white people of the west half of the county
colored trustee, General Birney and
those who followed his lead were willing to
strike down a rule of the board, heretofore
upheld as u safeguard against hasty aud ill
advised changes, and to reopen the race
issue in the public schools. Such proceed
ing cannot be in the interest of the public
schools, however much it may favor the
ambition of individuals. There ought to
be good sense enough in the board to arrest
this measure. SIXTH DIVISION.

has been converted into novel and pub
lished in the Seaside Library. The plot
and characters of the piece are closely ad-

have answered the purpose better. The

The pupils of the Lyceum School have
various causes for discontent, The most

entered the school with the distinct under
standing that they would be placed in
salaried positions ON graduating.

About Mrs. Lnngtry.

That used to be q very pretty story the
friends of Mrs. Langtry wero in the habit
of telling about the way in which she
studiously avoided reading the newspapers,
in order not to see any Of the not strictly
pleasant things which were said about her.
But, like good many other stories that
were pretty enough, this one was untrue.
Mrs. Langtry not only read with the utmost
care everything concerning himself that
crept into print, but she kept scrap books,
and insisted upon having every line of
criticism or comment concerning herself
and her movements pasted into these
volumes. In one set of books she kept all
the notices of her acting, This set was for
exhibition to her friends. But for her
own private reading she read another COL
lection of scraps which included all the
about her in the shape of anecdotes
These books she does not show to any
very great extent, though thoy undoubtedly
contain good deal Of material that would
bo interesting to the general run of readers
Many of the things in this collection are
adorned with the names of their writers,
which Mrs. Langtry has taken great pains
to hunt up. Armed with this list tho lady
is pretty well posted as to tho identity of
her various friends and enemies in journal
ism. They tell me that if there is one
tulbS hAb. lsduBlIy IStlly oIJOyS lu Is BOb-
ting hold Of a writer who has said some
thing of her which was peculiarly annoy
ing, and so moving upon him with her
power OF fascination as to lead him after
ward to write Of her in strain of admira-
tioD. When she has succeeded in winning
this kind of notice from one who has begun
by scofiing she pastes the second article into
her book alongside the first one, labels II
with the writer's name, and Is perfectly
happy for weeks through having captured
an additional trophy.
1t is quito clear that Mrs. Langtry has
in mind to spend good deal of time in
New York hereafter. Her house In Thir-
teenth street is still in charge of her butler,
huge fellow of the genuine yellow plush
stripe, and he has orders simply to keep 1t
open and in good condition, The lady will
probably get here along in August In time
to have brief rest before opening her regu-
lar acting season early in September. The
story that she means TO take up her perma-
nent residence in America Is not altogether
true. But she will probably spend most OF
her winters here when she has accumulated
sufficient fortune to make II unnecessary
thai she should longer remain at work
During her next tour Of America she will
60 again to San Francisco, with which city
she was particularly delighted when she
went there last spring All of which cheer.
ing information l gather from one whC
takes delirious delight in knowing Mrs
Langtry counts him among her confidential
