SEPARATE MANAGEMENT
The public school system under
It's present management, that Is,
the white superintendent, Dr.Chan-
cellor. and the colored assistant,
Roscoe Conkling Bruce. IS not at
all acceptable to the people OF this
city. The present management
wants 10 destroy or upset in two
months what II took years Of toll
and patience 70 build.
It must be admitted that the col
ored schools were successfully man
aged Tor over a quarter Of a cen
turv by Mr.. George F, T. Cook,

ar never existed than he,
The cOlOred schools had an en-

OF the coIored schools were con

C0mDarc If Won please. the grad
yates under Mr.. Cook and those
OF today, and see If they are not
the superiors.
Roscoe Conkling Bruce IS a dis
appointment 1t was blunder Of
DR.. Chancellor to have appointed
him. The people are not at all
satisfied and the best interests Of
the colorcd schools demand imme-
diate change in It's head and sepa-
rate supervision. The people ap-
peal 10 Congress to allow them to
control their own schools as here
toforc. Hundreds Of teachers are
being oppressed by constant meet
ings after the regular school hours.
Numerous lectures are unneces-
sarv model meetings. What good
are these meetings. Why should
the regular teachers be required
to teach these model lessons, when
there are model teachers graduated
for the business:
There Is a reign OF terror in our
colored schools. Su,h as never be
lore existed. What relief has the
teacher under the present school
system. The appointment OF the
present school head was a mistake.
lust how soon relief will come to
the teachers. who are under mental
and physical strain. The Bee can
only hope,
To school at $50; no time ior
lunch. A model lesson by those
whose business it Is to attend to
their regular school duties. Re
main in school from $50 am. to
40 pm. Supervisors lecture
from ) pm. to o or 6.3o pm. The
teacher must listen to a long ha-
rangue on some long chapter from
an educational journal that they
could read when time permitted
them to do so.
Many OF the teachers are afraid
TO say that they have a soul. In
the name of justice and fairplay
The Bee appeals to the Board OF
Education, in behalf OF these op-
pressed teachers, to give them i'm
mediate relief. 1t IS unfair. II
IS unjust to the faithful public
benefactors of the youth. II Con
gressional relief does not come
soon, many Of those faithful teach
ers will be in their graves. Many
OF them are resigning; in fact,some
Of the best teachers have resigned,

DISTRICT POLITICIANS.

I'm the District Of Columbia there
are several classes Uf politicians.
The most deceiying and the most
tricky is the pot house" politi-
clan. He Is a gentleman OF leis-
IRE. This class will represent him
self to the candidate as the most
powerful in the city. Nothing Is
impossible for this class to DO. No
man IS a stranger, but every man
is a weak individual. No man IS
honest in the eyes of this class,
but every man Is a thief and with
out influence in the eyes Of the pot
house" politician.
There is another class OF politl-
clans that claims TO represent the
good and the clean, otherwise the
reformers. Reformers IN all
communities are persons who are
opposed to successful operators in
any enterprise. They are the outs
+, against the ''ins." It IS one ser
of thieves endeavoring to remove
another set OF successful manipu-
lators.
The Bee has never known poll
tics TO be cleaned. Since the adj

the reformers and otherwise are
clamoring for alleged clean men,

Baseball Fever Spreading

Watertown Public Opinion: The
base ball enthusiasts are very much
pleased with the prospects for the
coming season. 1t is quite certain
that Aberdeen is on the list for a
base ball aggregation and Mitchell also
has the stir. A number of other
important towns have been heard
from and they all seem to take with
the idea in good shape. 1t has been
some time since Mitchell. Aberdeen
and Watertown all supported teams,
and if this kind Of a starter can be
made, and other towns brought into
line, it is the opinion OF local en-
thnsiasts that there is little question
but that the most difficult part Of
the whole proceeding s will be accom-
plished. The corresponding secretary
here states that he has a line on a
number Of fast players, all white
men, and fellows who play the nat
ional game and yet are gentlemen.

Odd streaks of Weather.

Springfield Republican: Oddly
enough the Arctic wave which
has encircled the world has spared
the Arctic zone itself, where
the mild temperature Of 60 degrees
has been reported. Explorers agree
to the extraordinary changes that
take place in the far north in winter
when the wind shifts, the thermome-
ter perhaps rising in a few hours
from 60 degrees below to 80 degrees
above the zero point. Whether the
Antarctic summer has been blazipply
hot of late has not yet been reported.
Northern Europe has suffered
severely, Berlin, for example, having
Al degrees of frost, which is quite
unusual, Vienna had 10 degrees below

years. The Danube froze at Buchar-

but now on the Boston Americans. to
a Sioux City reporter IF a college
player is any good at all he can go
out during the Summer and earn
500 a month. In the season he
can make almost enough money to
carry him through school next year.
1t would be foolish for him to sacri-
flee this opportunity for the privilege
OF playing with his team when he re-
enters the college or university.
IF they ever succeed in passing a
hard and fast rule against profess
SIGNALS, the college teams will not be
strong enough to put up a game
worth watching. Every good college
baseball player has plenty of chances
to play professional ball and most
OF them accept them"
A large number of the college pro-
lessons are coming around to the
same view as expressed by Mr.. Sui
llNan. Why should not a young stu
dent be allowed to play summer
ball to aid him in getting a college
Education, and at the same time not
be barred from college sports?
| III the college ball player or the
college athlete in general could be
kept clean from professionalism so
called, just because he accepts a few
dollars playing summer" ball it
would make some difference. But
it is safe to say that there is not a
college in the country but what har-
bors ball players Dr. athletes who are
known to accept money for summer
ball playing.
Sioux Falls had a professional ball
team for five years and the writer of
this article was for three seasons and
la part of the fourth manager and
secretary of such team and as such
he drew checks paying salary to ball
players who at that time and after
wards played on ball teams and
otherwise represented their colleges
as bona fide amateurs.
Among the colleges who were rep
resented on the Sioux Falls ball team
with students who afterwards repre-
sented such colleges as amateurs
We're Georgetown university, Notre
Dame, Northwestern, Minnesota. Mad
ison and Iowa. Contracts were also
made with members of the Chicago
university and with Illinois univer-
sity, but owing to the fact that the
players did not develop as expected
by the time they were able to leave
college the contracts were cancelled.
This simply shows that there is no
such thing as keeping college stu
dents free from the so-called profess
sionalism, and sports would be better
if the bars were let down and the
student allowed to earn an honest
dollar playing summer ball.
