A COLORED MAN IN THE CAB
MET OF THE PRESIDENT
ELECT-BRUCE THE MAN.
From the Americans Pen.)

That the Negro race deserves such
a position and recognition at the
hands of the President-elect, no wise
an j, st man can deny.
For long time the only expr =ssed
delegates tor Mr.. Mckinley were zeal
ous ali enthusiastic Southern Negroes,
The other sections where white men
lived and ruled the rooSt were more
cautious as to who they preferred.
Now that Mr.. Mckinley is elected he
should recognize the wisdom and po-
litical Judgment of the race who in.
spired white men TO help nominate and
let the race leaders not deceive
themselves. Don't talk and write
deceitfully. Premonition OF greatness
will show its presence wherever it ex-
ists. MIR. Harrison raised the standard
of Negro office-holdlng, and 1t is not
reasonable to look for another Harri-
son soon. Butwe are away down here
in the bacl:woods of Georgia. From
the amount of talk being done by the
editors of the big Negro journals, they
NAV know something Of what they are
talking 1t may be that MIR. Mckinley
is looking for the proper eolored man
to invite into his cabinet. lfthis should
happen to be true, why then his good
Judgment aud political wisdom would
direct him to the most proper man IN
the race, at this tlme-all OF us know

TRUSTEES OF SEPARATE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS.

DISTRICTS.
The Annotated Code OF 1892, see
tion 4007, says in regard to the ap-
pointment Of trustees for separate
school districts:
1.-The schools OF such district shall
be under the control OF five trustees,
To be elected on the second Monday in
April, or at the first regular meeting
prior thereto, by the Mayor and Board
OF Aldermen, or in the manner pre-
scribed by the Board; and the trust
ees SHALL ALL BE PATRONS OF THE
SCHOOL. The condition of eligibility
imposed and powers granted trustees,
under the general law, shall apply to
trustees OF separate school districts,
and they be subject to the same pen
alties and to removal from office by
the Board for the neglect Of duty"
We print the above extract of the
school law for the information Of the
public, but roOre particularly for the
benefit of the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen Of this town. We under
stand that three out Of the five trust
ees Of Scranton separate school dis
trict are not PATRONS Of the school.
Merely having educable children does
not meet the requirements OF the law
SO far as the eligibility Of a trustee is
concerned. The law above quoted
pOintedly says the trustees shall ALL
be patrons OF the school; i. e. send
their children to the school over which
they preside as trustees. None others
can serve as such.
We have no enmity whatever to-
wardany of the gentlemen now COM
posing the board Of trustees, they are
all clever, Intelligent and upright citi-
zens, but we are a stickler for the en-.
forcement of all laws, and the school
law in particular. We are anxious to
see a h~igh-grade school here, and we
leave an unprejudiced public to Judge
who are best calculated to accomplish
such a result-trustces who %patronize
the school or those who do not? Show
your faith by your works. Doubtless
the gentlemen who have been selected
as trustees for the Scranton separate
school district, and who are not pat
rOns thereof, will, of course, promptly
resign. The Board appointed them
without closely examining the law, and
they probably accepted the trust to be
accommodating, and not from any de-
sire to hold the Office.
In this connection We would respect
fully suggest that the trustees should
be guarded in the selection Of IA prin.
cipal and his assistants. They should
select the best teachers possible with
the means at their command. Edu-
cation is not the only necessary quail
t~ication to build up a school, discipline
Is Indispensable to insure success.
| Without 1t all efforts towards educa-
tion will prove futile. A teacher
should be kind, but firm in dealing
with the scholars under his charge.
He should have the moral support of
the parents in everything that tends
to develop the pupils mental facul-
ties.
Nothing tends more 20 build up a
town than a good school and to have
a good school we must have good
teachers. BY all means let us have a
frst-class school, where our boys and
girls can be prepared for college. Such
a school will receive the support of
the community and draw patronage
from abroad.
