Phlllls Wheatley. the colored poet, read
before the Brooklyn Literary union,
have been greatly admired. Nearly al
her writing has been in behalf Of hen
race and in the line of urging her PEG
pie to raise and educate themselves by
all means possible. Besides her Other
work, Miss Frazier has found time to
do considerable confidential CORE
spondence for private persons. When
she decided to qualify herself for teach
ing in the public nohools she went to
the authorities and learned that her
color would de5Cr her from no priv.
leges open to white candidates. The
first thing for an applicant to do is to
act as substitute a certain number Of
times-1OO was then the number-in one
of the public schools. If, as substitute,
the applicants percentage in the mat
tiers of attention, discipline, power Of
imparting and instruction, such mat
tiers is rs or better, she is permitted to
take the final examination. Miss Fra
zier served as substitute teacher nearly
300 times in all and received very good
reports. Then she took the final exam
ination and passed 1t with flying colors.
