REPLIES TO CRITICS
DR.. Chancellor Answers Citi-
Zen'S Association.
POINTS OUT MANY ERRORS
Purchase of White Paper Accords
with Act of I9O6-schOoI Board, De-
cIares Superintendent, Gives Same
Energy to school Affairs as Ii
Would to Private Business.

In an interview yesterday. DR.. Chan
cellor, superintendent Of the public
schools Of the District of Columbia. Wig
orously denied the statements made in a
resolution adopted by the Northeast Cit
liens Association at the last meeting OF
that organization on Monday.
The resolution criticised the manage
ment Of the public schools, its conten-
ton being that matters pertaining to the
coiored schools should be conducted by
the colored members OF the board. The
resolution also criticised the members of
the school board because Of the DELAY
Tor three weeks or more Of white paper
used in connection with schools. II. also
scored the board for devoting their time
at meetings TO a discussion Of the troubles
Of the cOlOTed schools.
Reference was made In the resolution
10 a recommendation Of the school board
for an appropriation of 100000. which
amount is denied by Or. Chancellor. the
amount asked, he claims, being only ST.
10000.
Answers the Criticisms.
Or. Chancellor in answering the allega-
tons Of the resolution, made the follow
ing statement last night:
The criticism Of the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association IS based upon
incorrect information. With regard 10 the
purchase Of white paper and Of all other
materials for schools. il is 10 be noted
that the secretary OF the board of edu-
cation makes requisition upon the Dis
= ts44fr -usr.
machinery Of their Office. make all con-
tracts and supply all materials at such
times and Ia such manner as seems salts
factory 10 them. This is strictly in ac-
cordance with the organic act of 1906
which places all expenditures within the
control Of the Commissioners.
From my knowledge Of the board Of
education, in the fifteen months I have
been superintendent. they give all OF the
energy and zeal TO the public affairs that
they do to their private affairs. They
seem In no way whatever to neglect pub
lie business.
With regard 70 the statement that the
board Of education Is incompetent 10
handle the expending OF 100000 for
buildings, let me say that the board Of
education has not asked tor s4.000Q0O. Il
has asked for $4,000. and in order 10 put
itself IN position TO advise the District
Commissioners wisely. il mas asked for
an architect, on 5000 year, TO draw
plans.
"As to the statement that the board OF
education takes. UP all its time with the
troubles Of the Colored schools. as one
who has been present at nearly every
meeting Of the board Of education. 1

welfare of the CITY

AS the range OF the studies Is just as
great in the colored schools as il is in the
white. Il would be natural that the board
should give about half its time to the
questions Of the colored schools. II is
true tat the number Of pupils in the
colored schools is only about half that Of
the white schools but the number OF
studies is just the same.
AS an app0intee OF the mixed board
OF education. it is not proper for me 70
discuss the question as 10 whether the
ColoIed schools should be conducted sep
arateiy from the white schools to any
extent farther than they are now. but as
an American citizen, interested in the
welfare Of the city Of Washington. I
should say Il would be very unfortunate

FELL FROM STREET CAR
Alex Collins, of Suuer, Lies in Pre-
cariOus Condition at st. Vincents
Hospital.

Alexander H. Collins, Of Suver, a
man we'll to the older residents
of the Willamette Valley, was severely
injured by falling from a streetcar IN
Portland yesterday. The accident
occurred on Williams Avenue, while
Mr.. Collins was riding out to visit +. ID.
Ginty While standing on the lower
step of the car, looking for the number
of his friends store, he lost his bal
ance and fell backward upon the pave
ment, fracturing his skull and suffer
ing a concussion of the brain.
The injured man was removed to st.
Vincent's Hospital, and his son, Will
liam, in Dallas was notified Of the
accident. Mr.. and Mrs. Collins left
for Portland on the afternoon train,
and meeting their mother, Mrs. Sarah
Collins, at Whiteson, the three went to-
gether to the bedside Of the sufferer.
Friends and relatives in Dallas
waited anxiously for some news OF the
accident, and late in the evening were
relieved by message stating that
Mr.. Collins was somewhat improved
and showed signs Of regaining con-
sciousness. Hopes are entertained
for his ultimate recovery, but nothing
definite can be known at the present
time.
Judge J. L. Collins, a brother Of the
injured man, was in Portland when
the accident occurred, but heard
nothing Of it until he arrived in
Dallas last night. AS he boarded the
train iu Portland, he purchased
paper, but being engaged in conver
sation until it became too dark for
him to read. he learned nothing Of his
brothers injury until he opened the
paper at his home in Dallas.

After considering the petition Of
I. A, Odom last night, the city council
decided that the city was not flnan-
cially able 10 contribute to the salary
OF night watchman, but agreed that
1t would appoint Mr.. Odom, or apv
other man satisfactory to the business
men of Dallas, provided his salary
should be secured by contributions
from these men. This is a keen dis.
appointment to the business men. as
they had already subscribed liberalIv
toward the salary of such officer and
had hoped that the council would at
least stand a small share of the
expense. 1t is probable that the
remainder of the salary will he raised
by private subscription. as a night
watchman is badly needed and tho
merchants feel that they can no longer
risk leaving their property without
any protection whatever

In advertising in our Wanted" and
"For Sale" column, which, by the
way, is becoming very valuable
feature Of the OBSERVER, our customers
often instruct us to run their locals
until such time as they are ordered
discontinued. In many instances the
customer negIects to inform us when
he desires the advertising dis
continued, and the locals are run for
many issues after they have served
their purpose, thus causing the adver-
tiser needless expense and detracting
from the effectiveness Of this column
to certain extent. When the local
has fulfilled its purpose, we would
thank our customers to notify us by
mail or telephone, so that we may dis
continue the advertising.

The Industrial Fair for 1907 Is a
thing of the past, but its influence is
sill at work, and, like pebble dropped
in still water, is sending its waves to
the very farthest borders Of the county.
One passing through the country hears
at nearly every farmhouse of what
their school district has done and what
prize was won by this boy or that girl
in the neighborhood He also hears
encouraging declarations as to what
the young people are going to do next
year-a good omen for the success Of
the next School ChiIdren's s Fair.

The HillsborO Independent has
raised its subscription price to 81. so a
year. A good newspaper, and well
worth the money, The passing Of the
vi subscription rate has been hastened
by the increased cost Of white paper
and the sharp advance in wages. The
publishers who are giving their
readers newsy papers find that no
one objects to paying the higher
rate. The OBSERVER was one OF the
ilrstto raise its subscription price after
conditions had made it impossible to
print dollar paper at u profit, and
our subscription list shows that not n
single subscriber was lost by the
change. The reading public is fair.

The Postofllce Department is always
kicking that the low postage rate on
newspapers is responsible for a large
share of the annual deficit, and at the
same time is doing everything in it's
power to establish the iniquitous
parcels post, which would profit only
the large departments stores and Cheap
John mail order houses. 1t has been
proved time and again that the low
rate on newspapers is not the cause Of
tie deficit, but it remains to be shown
that the wholesale carrying Of freight
by mail would not be the biggest losing
game ever INDUCED in by the Govern
ment. The retail merchant can Just
chalk it down in his book that the
adoption Of the parcels post would
spell Ruin for him in capital letters.
