Mrs. Cooper's Status.

Mrs. Cooper's Status.
To the Editor of The Star:
In published interview, purportng to
give a statement of Dr. Chancellor these
words occur:
Il personally told her (Mrs. Anna J.
Cooper that 1 would recommend her ap-
pointment as Latin teacher in the colored
schools, which pays a salary of 81 800 a
year-$1OO more than she formerly received
as principal of the NJ Street School, and
but 500 less than she would have received
in the same position under the new school
law. This offer Mrs. Cooper declined"
There are three objections to be raised to
the above statement attributed to the su-
perintendent Of public instruction:
/. No such position exists.
e was never offered it.
.. L never declined anything. for nothing
was ever offered to me either by Dr. Cham
cellor or by the board; and l am sure that
Dr. Chancellor, If correctly reported, is in
accurate in his recollection.
Section 5 of act 254, providing that sub
jects in the M Street School and the Arm
strong Manual Training School shall be
ella ssified into four departments, says:
whenever department includes
two or more high schools then the teacher
in charge of the department shall be des-
ignated head of the department. other
wise the teacher in charge of the depart
ment shall be designated head teacher
Latin not being a subject common to the
two schools, an appointment as Latin
teacher in the colored schools" can give at
best only a head leadership, belonging
under the act to group A of class g. with
salaries beginning at $1,000 instead of to
group B, at $780,
DR.. Chancellor gave me to understand
and understood, that his deliberate judg-
ment was that\r ought to be recommended
by him, and l had no doubt at all that the
board would sustain him if he actually rec
commended me; and still believe so. If he
had done so, 1 understood he felt that
he ought to, and the board had refused
it's assent, could then have considered any
proposition that might have been made to
me; although l believe that I have a legal
status as principal of the M Street High
School, not requiring reappointment by the
board, and from which I cannot be re-
moved without cause and hearing for at
least one year. ANNA ]. COOPER.

washington. d. C.. July 23.-The
Office force OF the Democratic congres
sicuai committee in this city has
started to work in earnest for the com
ing congressional campaign. The
work so far is divided into three sec
tions. One portion Of the stan is con
ducting the correspondence with dis
trict and county committees through
ont the country with a view to ascer-
tanning the needs Of the districts in
which it is expected that showings
will be made Another portion Of the
committee stan is going over the con
gressional records digging out the
political gems from Democratic
sources on the tariff and other is
sues OF the approaching fight, while
Chairman Griggs has taken personal
charge Of the matter Of piling up a
campaign fund. Ohio has been singled
out as one OF the states where a big
fight is to be made and Chairman
Griggs expresses the opinion that the
Democrats win carry several districts
in that state which are now repre-
sented by Republicans. He figures
on the First Thirteenth and Seven
teenth, which are normally Demo
cratic; the Third which formerly was
Democratic: the Twelfth, which is al
ways more or less uncertain, and ths
Sixth, where the Republican factions
are having Kilkenny time. He be
lieves also that the chances OF re
deeming the Ninth Kentucky district

tciats feel certain of at least three
