port given Mr.. Cook, from an educa-
tlonal standpoint, by the trustees, was
meager in the extreme. Such being
the uncontrovertible history of the
eolored schools in the cities of Wash
jngton and Georgetown, common fair
ness demands that something more
def nite than the vague wording Of the
board oftrustees' resolution be given
befor an hoEest conscientious, and
honorable gentleman should be ruth
lessly dismissed from position which
he has, from their own showing, filled
with credit and profit to those intrusted
to his charge.
The magnificent school system for
colored children in the cities Of Wash.
ington and Georgetown has grown
under Mr.. Cooks fostering care from
SO schools, 30 teachers. and 5000 pupils
to 269 schools, 334 teachers, and 1894
pupils; yet, Mr.. Cook is failure!
With the greatest respect personally
for the members Of the school board,
cannot refrain from suggesting that 1t
is question Of taste to recommend the

The coming ceusus is matter of
great interest to the American Negro
He will be expected to answer the
enumerator when he comes next June,
and naturally wishes to make good
showing in the big volumes that are to
be printed about the people of the
United States. "The population sched'
ule" is the one that concerns every.
body. On 1t are the questions about
name, age, sex. color, relationship to
the head of the family and where each
individual was born, as we'll as where
the parents of each were born. The
enumerator who can read and write
and how many months the children
have gone to school. He will ask about
the prosperity of the family, whether
only the man works for money or
whether the women and children do,
too, and whether they own OF rent the
house they live In.
All the enumerator can do with this
information when be gets it will be to
write 1t down, for he has sworr not to
tell anything about it, and then the
papers will be sent to Washington to be
worked out by electricity. The great
books, when printed, will show how
fast the colored people have been i'm

bv W. " Whelpley, president, the ftl-
lowing:
A there reports show, and as we have
,onrd during the past year, tue public
schools of the District are in excellent
condition. SUPERINTENDENT and other
officials, and the principals and subordl-
neto teachers, hsve performed their diff
fcu,t and lsborious duties faithfully
and we'll. We believe that our public
schools have kept pace with the advance
NJ modern methods IN teaching and In
the management of schools.
The same school board passed, on
Tuesday. March II, 1900, the following
resolutions:
Whereas that In the investigation of
the superintendent Of schools of the
ninth. tenth, and eleventh divisions this
hoard fiud much lnetficiency IN the
neplect by the incumbent Of the work
ner aiming to the strictly educational
features Of that office;
Resolved, That the board of trustees
recommend to the honorable COmmis-
siouers Of the District of Columbia that
9 change be made in the office Of the
superlhtendent of schools OF the ninth,
tenth. and eleventh divisions, and that
thew appoint to it nan who will bring
TO the position all that it stands for
from an educational standpoint.
The trustees being educated ladies
aud gentlemen, it is proper to infel that
tbey understand the val le of consisten'
cy; therefore, there must occurred, be-
tween December 80, 1899, and March II,
1900. some serious remissness o. duty
on the part of Superintendent Cook to
have induced them to recommend his re-
mOval. In looking the report Of 1898 SO
l find that pages from 222 to 3l1, inclu'
sive contain matter exclusively con-
nected with the schools under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mr.. Cook; and
chief among the many interesting sub
iects are the reports Of the supervising
principals, principals Of normal ald of
high schools, also directors OF primary
work, Of manual training (wood and
metal Of drawing, Of sewing, and OF
cooking, all of whom acknowledge
"valuble counsel and assistance" from
6uparinteDdentC Cook. No neglect there
| have also examined the school re-
ports from 1874-75, the first issued after
the consolidation of the several boards,
to lS9S-s9, and find an unbroked record
of acknowledged efficiency from the
various bosrds of trustee on the part
Of SuoerIntendent Cook. The colored
schools Of Washington and Georgetown
from 1854 to 1874 were, with few ex
cepuons, under colored men as trustees
MIR. Cook, barring a brief period,
being the superintendent. The sup
