The new County Board OF Education
has made a spectacle Of itself-a brilliant
and harmonious spectacle. Just such a
spectacle as one would have naturally
expected from such monumental men as
the Hon. Jay Hazy Bagwell. Prof.
North Carolina Bruce (colored) and the
Rev. Henry Whangdoodle Norris.
The architecture and composition of
these men are ON noble lines. The ebulE-
ton of gray matter in their craniums al
ways manifests itself by a sound of re-
volving wheels, and their ornamentation
is in perfection Of the famboyant Gothic.
In short. these men are some of our most
beautiful specimens, and never did they
show to better advantage than during
the past three days, when they have been
hard at work appointing negro school
committeeman to direct the affairs of the
white schools of Wake county and choose
teachers for the children Of Anglo Saxon
parents. A glorious work this was, and
most gloriously have they performed it.
And for it their names will be held in
everlasting Dissertation ~ an ungrateful
generation.
These appointments were completed
late yesterday afternoon, and the work
fittingly crowned by voting down the fol-
lowing resolution introduced Monday by
Mr.. j. II. Fleming, the Democratic
member of the Board:
Whereas, it would be detrimental to
the public school system to appoint col
ored men on the school committees to
look after the interests Of the white
schools either in whole or In part.
''It is therefore resolved that such
colored school committeeman as may be
appointed are expressly appointed by
the Board to assist in looking after the
interests of the colored schools and it is
the opinion of this Board that such CON-
mitteemen should not interfere with the
control Of the white schools eith2r in the
employment of teachers or otherwise"
This done they went home to breathe
in peace, and rest their super-heated
brains. They needed it-needed 1t badly.
For three whole days they have thrown
the whole prodigious candle power of
their giant intellects into the work of
enlightening the children of Wake coun-
ty and defeating the focal taxation"
election. Thus far, though, no light has
appeared from these great efforts-only
much smoke and a very bad odor-every-
where except in Gary township. where
they didn't get any "nigger."
There may not be an excessive foad of
gray matter in the gray poll OF the Hon.
Buck Adams, but he has had the good
taste and the good sense to keep this
brilliant Board from putting a negro
committeeman over the white schools of
his township. Good for you. Buck.
