Pubiic-Schooi Matters.

The intermediate examinations of the
High School and the Colored Normal
School will take place Thursday, the
9th instant. The district-school eX-
aminations will come off next Monday,
the 9th, and the schools will be re0r-
ganized Oh the 10th Of February.
There may be some infornalities in
the matter of substitutes, and some dis
ordinations made in the cases of some
of the graduates because of the fact
that they declined, under Readiuster
rule, when negroes were on the School
Board, positions as teachers in the col
ored schools. The present Board will
give these matters that consideration
which they deserve.
The principals of the schools have
been requested by the Superintendent
to prepare and send in to the Board
letters in which they will give their
opinions as to the competency of substi-
tutes. and these letters will be handed
the Board by Mr.. Garnett, who, in
some respects, differs from the Board
in matters regarding the promotion Of
teachers. The present School Board
will not he apt to err in any action that
will conduce to the good of the schools.
