committee had any facts that would lead to the
conclusion that the usefulness of either Mr.
Cardozo or Mr.. Brown as teachers was i'm.
paired He thought they could both be re-
tanned on probation. He thought the efficiency
of both would be improved by what had oc-
Cured He admitted that there had been un.
desirable things in the management of Mr.. Car.
dozo and in the action of Mr.. Brown.
Prof Gregory offered resolution providing
for the retention of both teachers until the END
of the wear.
Mr.. Darlington said that in the light thew
had such action would appear very unwise. He
understood that the condition of the colored
High School was deplorable. He was advised
that teachers and pupils were divided into
Brown and Cardozo factions. While sucb dis.
sensions existed the school could not prosper.
He offered resolution condemning MIR.
Browns conduct in seeking to displace the
principal by preferring charges and circulating
petitions, and declaring the belief that Mr..
Brown should be transferred from the school,
without any reflection ON his moral or profes-
slonal character. Mr.. Darlington suggested
that the resolution be laid over, and that mean.
while the board could determine whether there
was any chance of securing harmony in the
school II these two men were retained.
Prof. Gregory insisted that Mr. Dariington's
proposal was ex parte. The weight of testi-
mony, he believed, was against Mr.. Cardozo
and II MIR. Brown were transferred he believed
MIR. Cardozo should be transferred too. He
did not believe the discussions in the school
would be quieted by the transferring of only
one of the teachers.
MIR. Mitchell thought they would do harm BY
removing these teachers at this time. He
favored adopting the report of the committee
and leaving the management of the two teach
ers to the High School committee. As to DIR.
FRANCIS proposition, he thought that was a
mistake. He thought the schools had progressed
wonderfully well under two superintendents.
THE TWO TEACHERS RETAINED.
Mr.. Darlington withdrew his resolution, in
view, as he said, of the fact that both DIR. Fran
els and Prof. Gregory believed that harmony
could be secured in the school.
The committee amended its report so far az
to provide for the retention of the two teach
ers until the end of the school year, provided
harmonious relations were maintained, and the
report as thus amended was adopted DIR.
Francis supplemental report proposing an in
qulry into the ACCESSIBILITY of consolidating
the two superintendent Offices was accepted
and ordered to lie over for consideration.
