DISLIKE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
Strenuous Session of Northwest Citi
zens' Association Held.
Discussion by school Board of TrOu-
bles of COlOred schools Charac-
terized as Nonsense.

That the school system could get along
much better if the colored members OF
the board would attend to matters that
affect the colored schools IS the belief Of
the Northeast Citizens Association, as
expressed in a resolution adopted last
night when presented by Frank D. Fos-
ter, chairman of the associations COM
mittee on schools.
1t seems TO the committee" says the
report. in purport, that the school board
should be ashamed Of the way the affairs
Of the schools are conducted For in
stance. as we happen 10 know, the white
paper that should have been here when
the schools opened was delayed three
weeks. and it is quite evident that the in
dividuaI members of the board do not
conduct their private business affairs the
same way they do the business of the
schools.
What are we to think Of the Mckinley
Manual Training School fund. so long un-
used? We want the committee on legis-
lation to take UP the matter of the ap-
propriation. as recommended by the
school board. Of something like $4,000. 600
for new buildings, but it is question II
the members can competently handle
such question when they have not at
tended to the other matters the way they
should
Furthermore, it is the belief OF this
committee that there is absolutely no
sense in the school board taking up all
the time OF the meetings in a discussion
Of the troubles Of the colored schools. It
seems the proper thing is for the colored
members of the board to handle the af-
fairs Of the cOlOred schools, and then re-
port 70 the board as a whole as a sub
committee What do the people care If
some colored lawyer has been given fees
for his influence in the schools? That is
a matter 70 be decided in the courts"
This report was adopted, and there were
many expressions IN favor of such q. dfvi-
sion Of the work ia the schools.
The closing of the public wells came in
for a share Of condemnation, and a reso-
luton attacking the Commissioners was
adopted, as presented by A. H. F. Hol-
stem, treasurer of the association.
One resolution that provoked lengthy
d scussion was that of DR.. Walters. ask
irg the Commissioners by what right
they narrowed II street. between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets, by one and one
half feet
One thing of interest was the resolution
commencing Conrad II. Syme in his suit
against the Park Commission. in his at
tempt to save the historic oaks, planted
in 1890, in the Botanic Gardens.
At the conclusion. the old officers Of
the association were elected as follows:
Evan II. Tucker, president; Dr. L. D.
Walter, first vice president; Dr. Starr
Parsons, second vice president; S. r.
Sowerbutts, secretary, and A. H. F. Hol-
sten, treasurer.
These men. with w. ]. Frizell, F. D.
Foster. J. F. Fleming, and W. A. Lin
tor, compose the executive committee.
