OUR SHCOOLS-

In the case of Francis l.. CardoZo,
Judge a. NJ. Gould, in Equity Court
last Tuesday morning, dismissed his
bill with the reminder that it had
no business in that court The Bee,
it will be remembered, stated in its
issue of last week that the last move
of Cardozo was 4 subterfuge, that
the defense saw its doom and the in
junction proceedings was move for
more time. The Board of Education
should now act. Mr.. Cardozo de-
serves no consideration at It's hands
He had every opportunity TO redeem
himself with the entire school author
itieS. The Bee has the highest respect
for the attorneys for the defense,
Nfessrs. Davis and Cobb, who are no
doubt conscientious in their defense
for the accused teacher.
The Bee doesn't believe, and Meth
er do the people, that any member
of the Board of Education has any
prejudice against Cardozo or any per-
sonaI feeling in the matter. Prof.
Clark in his testimony before the SEN
ate Committee declared that he was
not offered another position in the
schools and Mrs. Cooper made a sim
liar statement. Prof. Clark, for
whom The Bee has the highest re-
spect, stated to its Editor that he had
been offered another place, and the
Bee is confident that Captain Oyster
offered or asked Mrs. Cooper to ac-
cept another place. Certainly neither
Mrs. Cooper nor Mr.. Clark can
hope for any consideration from the
Board of Education. DR.. Atwood,
against whom a great deal of adverse
criticism was made, has been fair and
liberal. There may have been one
technical error committed by the
Board of Education, and only one.
The schools needed a man at their
head like DR.. Chancellor and it Is
firmly believed if he IS given an op-
portunity he will give the people such
a school system that will reflect credit
upon the city. But if the Board OF
Education and the superintendent are
to permit every violator Of the school
discipline to do as he pleaseS the pub
lie school system might as we'll be
abolished. What has Mr. Cardozo
gained? 1t Is true that he has created
a great deal of talk and some delay.
His action at this time, if it has not
before, will justify his prompt remOv-
al for the good of the service. There
have been introduced in Congress sew
eral school bills by different members.
One of the bills which has the ap-
proval of the superintendent IS no
doubt good one. No one knows the
condition of the schools better than
the present Board of Education and
it ought to have the support of the
people.

THE UNIVERSITY RECORD.

Howard University Record is beau
tiful and unique magazine, published un-
der the personal supervision OF that
able and distinguished President, Rev.
Wilbur Patterson Thirkield. The Rec
ord, geographically, is perfect. The
composition IS a description of the Uni
versity and its grounds, with fine cuts
OF the president and the deans OF the
several departments. The Record should
be in the homes Of all Americans, be
cause it gives a full history and descrip-
ton Of Americas greatest institution.

REGISTER VERNON.

The banquet rendered to Register
w. 7. Vernon Wednesday evening,
anuary 80, was one that will long be
remembered. Rev. hampton, who
was one of the prime movers, was
taken sick from the beginning, which
prevented him from taking any part
at all. But Rev. O. w. ]. Scott,
pastor of the Metropolitan Church,
ably filled his place in every partlcu-
lar, and his welcoming address, which
was to have been delivered by Rev.
Hampton, was eloquent and timely.
DR.. Scott is a smooth talker as well
as. an entertaining speaker. 1t was a
gathering of young blood and brilliant
minds. The address OF Register Yer
non was interesting, and at its con-
clusion he was vigorously applauded.
Mr.. Vernon is growing more popular
each day he lives. The people wei
come him wherever he goes, and the
reception rendered him last week Is
an evidence of the esteem in which he
is held by the representatives OF the
race. Every speech delivered was en-
Enthusiastically applauded.

JUDGE GOULD'S DECISION.

When Justice 4. NJ. Gould rem
dered his decision in the Cardozo
case Tuesday afternoon he took occa-
sion to commend the work of the
Board of Education, which was right
and Just. The disgruntled element
in this city that IS criticising the
Board, as Judge Gould stated, should
commend the members of the Board
who are giving their time to the
people without compensation. These
members are not paid a cent for the
sacrifices they are making for the
benefit of the people. The taxpayers
and those who are interested in the

he were facing the wounded tiger or the
lion just before 1t sprang. AS matter Of
fact he really had shot them. There was
a big mark on his shoulder still where
the claws of the dying lion went in.
Uncle was prowling his room when the
others went to bed. He was stalking the
towel-horse, Bob and Marian whispered. as
they passed the door, and laughed softly.
He heard them, and guessed that they
were laughing at him. He stalked them
in his thoughts for the next two or three
hours. 1t was two o'clock before he had
decided how to catch them. Then he went
to bed.
Uncle was remarkably amiable for the
next few days. and by the end of the week
he had got on good terms with all of
them. He made no more fuses" and he
suggested no more alterations in the family
customs
He did not even complain about the
booby-trap that Marian had set for Bob.
