NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 19.-The Legis-
lature is wrestling with the educational
phase of the negro problem. A bill has
been introduced in the upper house TO pro-
hibit the employment of white teachers
in negro schools, colleges and universI-
ties. A large majority Of the negro insti-
tutions of learning are controlled and d.
rected by white officers and teachers, and
the passage OF this bill will compel a re
organization of the faculty OF nearly every
negro school in the State.

of public school contribute ten dollars
toward a library, the county board OF
commissioners shall give the same amount
and that then the State Board of Edu-
cation shall appropriate ten dollars to
that district for the library. There is
proviso that the total amount appropria-
ted for this purpose by the State Board
shall not exceed $4,000.
Judge Connor spoke in favor of the
bill. dwelling upon the great benefit OF
such libraries to children so situated as
not to have easy access to books.
Mr.. Smith opposed the measure ON
the ground that it was not practicable.
The Sc. 900 would not be enough to give
libraries to all the schools, ana the
books could not be cared for.
Mr.. Ebbs spoke in favor of the bill,
dwelling upon the great amount of good
to be accomplished by putting DOCKS
within the reach of the people.
Mr.. Britain thought it would be bet

Mr. Mauney offered an amendment

This was satisfactory to all parties,
and was adopted.
MIR. Smith proposed to amend by strik-
ing out the whole of article /. providing
for the Board Of Tax Commissioners. He
said this was a new proposition, which
had done much to cause the great rcyo-
luton of 1897 There was, he said,
enough Of honesty and justice in the
counties to make a board of tax overseers
unnecessary. 1t was taking away tho

same principle our forefathers fought
against. He wanted to go on record
as opposed to the innovation.

was concerned, he would rather have

est Points Considered

Nine members of the charter COM
mission were present at the meeting
Saturday night, but not much progress
was made. Chapter FIVE was gone
over carefully. 1t relates to the levy
ing and collection of taxes and the is
suing of certificates of indebtedness. 70
An attempt is being made to pro-
vide that money levied by council
shall be expended by it, as is done in
st. Paul by the issue of certificates of
Indebtedness. Under the present
charter, the money levied one year is
not available until it has been paid in
the following year. The new plan
would anticipate the collection of the
taxes, and this is plan that has been
considered Objectionable in the past
AS it requires great care in prepare
ton. it was referred back to the judi
ciary committee to rewrite.
A provision was adopted, requiring
that the council shall, on presentation
of petition signed by not less than
ten per cent Of the voters at last gen.
eral election, be required to submit to
the people at any regular city election
the question of issuing bonds for the
erection or purchase of an electric
lighting and power plant to be operat-
ed by the city. The vote on this stood
eight in favor to one against, H. L.
Schmitt casting the opposing vote.
Chapter six, relating to the depart
ment of public improvements, was
partly considered. It was decided that
the superintendent Of public improve
ments shall establish the water rates,
subject to the approval of the council
DR.. Andrews gave notice that he
would offer an amendment to provide
that the hospitals be given free water.
The proposed charter provides that the
superintendent of public improve
ments, who is more properly the water
commissioner, shall not charge one
person, institution or corporation less
rate than he charges others.
The commission will meet again to-
night to proceed with its work, and
will probably be in session for several
evenings this week before everything
has been considered.
