Passes Through Royal Gorge.
Colorado Springs is very pretty
place, q great health resort. After
leaving Canon City we struck the
mountains for fair. Passed through
Royal Gorge about o'clock in the aft
ernoon. The Arkansas river flows
through there. The bare face Of cliffs
here reach as high as two and three
thousand feet without sign of vege-
tation, except on top are those tall
pine trees. We didn't pass through
many tunnels, only five or six in all.

View Of Pixies Peak.
"The first place / got a good clear
view of Pixies Peak was at little sta
ton called Pikeview. 1t certainly is a
grand sight, the peak crowned with
snow, a sort of misty haze about half
way down the mountain side. That's
one queer thing about the mountains.
| When the sun comes ont sort Of
cloud arises from the melting snow. 1t
looks like a fog bank. On clear day,
one will get immensely fooled by dis
tances. A fellow sitting next to me in
the car asked me how far thought
those mountains were away. said I
thought they we're about half mile.
He. laughed and said they we're four
or five miles off. The air is SO clear

The school question is still in the
air. The trial Of superintendent
Chancellor has been dragging it's
weary length, prolonged On account
Of the latter's illness and the prob
able interference Of Congress. No
one can tell what will be done to
bring about peace in the schools, but
that something will have to be done,
goes without the saying. DR.. Chan
cellor's dismissal Is looked for not so
much because Of his lack Of scholar
snip and ability as an educator, as be-
cause Of his temperamentaI unfitness
for the disposal Of the delicate prob
lens that continually present them
seulYes In a diverse community like
Washington, with its thousands Of
conflicting interests. Representative
BuSlcson, Of Texas, has introduced
bill in the house for the feorgani-
Zation of the entire school system
Of the district. The bill provides
TO rthe abolition Of the board OF edu-
cation, the superintendent of schools
and the assistant superintendent,
and stiDulates that the powers exer-
clsed by these officers be vested in a
director Of education, who shall be
appointed by the President: The
change, according to the bill. is to
go into effect in February, 1903. The
salary Of the directors is placed at
$4,000. While hoping for change
that will relieve the terrible tension
now existing, the conservative citi-
zens would regret the adoption Of
any measure that you'd rob the Ne
groes Of their representation In the
AFFAIRS Of the schools, for all realize
that to properly care for the well
fare Of our thousands Of colored chill
dren, there shuld be some Of our
own people on guard, who under
stand and sympathize with their pc
culiar needs. Mrs. Mary Church Ter
rel, the dominant force on the board
as far as the race ts concerned, has
rendered excellent. service, and with
her associates. Messrs. John r. Cook
and r. II. Homer, she has inaugu-
rated number Of reforms that have
proven beneficial to both white and
oo)0red students. They are entitled
to the thanks OF grateful constitu~
ency and it is hoped that they may
be retained in some advisory caDa-
city, whatever legislation may be
DENIED vice by congress, accomplish
the desired results.
