Head of Thirteenth Division.


Among the applicants for the 2iace
made vacant at the head of the thlr,
division by the dismissal Of F. L. Cardozo
are T. c. Galloway, who is employed in
one Of the government departments, and
a Mr.. Hill. 1t is understood that DR..
Chancellor has in mind as a possible ap-
pontee for the position Of assistant
superintendent, in case of the reduction
of DR.. Montgomery, DR.. Dubois. a colored
educator of Atlanta. Ga. DR.. Dubois is
said to represent the members of his
race who stand for the higher educa zion
of the colored people. He is an opponent
of Booker Washington in that respect
and has made attacks upon Washington
in writing.
A number of teachers who read with in
terest the comments Of DR.. Chancellor on
the decision of the controller of the treas
ury, published in The Star Saturday. are
expressing various opinions, many of which
do not agree with the superintendent s
view of the matter. Owing to the present
unsettled condition of affairs in the schools
however, no teacher Is willing to discuss
publicly any of these matters.
One Point Overlooked.
Some teachers say that DR. Chancellor
must have overlooked one point in his con-
sideration of the opinion of the controller.
Why, they ask, should one division of the
teaching corps be paid full months sal
airy and another division only fractional
months salary, both having entered upon
their duties the same date and performed
their duties for the same number of days
prior to October 1? They hold that the
question of the date Of appointment would
only seem to operate for those who enter
ed after the opening day They say to sup
pose the patent of the law to be that of
those doing the same work for the same
length of time one should receive only half
as much as another is to impose a..hope-
less strain on credulfty.
1t is pointed out that the first duty re-
quired of the teachers was the attendance
upon the teachers meeting. September 10.
All opened their schools the 18th of Sep
TENDER and conducted them to the close OF
that month. All alike 1t Is held, were
ment of their yearly salary, due. by rule.
October 1.
What Superintendent Says
Superintendent Chancellor this afternoon
said he had not considered the name of JUS
assistant superintendent to replace DR..
ton will be held to secure new supervis-
ing principal for the thirteenth division.
Statement From Pulpit.
Rev. DR.. s. L. Carrothers Of Galbralth
Zion Church. colored. last night from his
pulpit referred to the of Mr. Cardozo
in the following words:
Il consider it the greatest injustice ever
done to the colored people of this city.
Fifty ministers whom 1 have interviewed
regarding this affair regard 1t as an out
rage, and see the same way that 1 do-that
1t Is the result of a plot to remove Mr.. Car
dozo to make room for that friend of the
school board, DIR. Montgomery
I'VE have decided to raise a fund to fight
Cardozos case before the courts, and If We
do not have success there we will take the
matter up before Congress at the next ses-
sion. What active steps we will bring
against this so-called school board do not
know at the present, but 1t will probably
be a suit for damages for defamation of
the good character Of Cardozo against every
member of the board who voted to dismiss
him from his position.
