We afterwards got up number OF

GOOD WORK

The excellent results being accom-
plished by Mrs. l. G. Richardson, the
attendance officer of the public school
system, may be approximately estimated
by the following excerpt from the re-
cent report of Assistant Superintendent
W. S. Montgomery: "The intelligent,
energetic work of Mrs. Ida. G. Rich
ardson, attendance officer, has been of
incalculable value in keeping up the at
tendance of the pupils and in educating
them up to a sense of their duty in this
matter. Her reports show hundreds of
children in school as a result of effort
on her part. The territory, however, is
too great for one person. The public
good will be subserved by increasing
this force which saves the boys and
girls from becoming social liabilities"
The above is far from over stating
Mrs. Richardson's usefulness and activ-
ity in her capacity as attendance officer,
as the editor of The Bee has frequently
met her in the police and juvenile courts
looking after the interest of truants.
and non-attendants. We agree, how
ever, wit hDr. Montgomery's recon-
mendation to increase the number of
attendance officers as the field is en-
tirely too large to be completely covered
by one person. The successful opera
ton of the compulsory education law
will not be realized until sufficient num-
Der of officers are provided.

What | Saw And Heard

l am not certain that the Business
Association is sincere in its efforts to
restore suffrage to the people in this
city. 1t is claimed that the colored vote
would be the balance of power Sup
pose it is the balance of power. The
colored citizen is sufficiently intelligent
to select and vote for the best men. I
don't believe that politics would cut a
great figure so far as the colored voter
is concerned. | mean by that he would
not vote for a man simply because he
is a Republican. He must have other
qualifications. There are Democrats in
this city who have done more for the
colOred people than many Republicans.
This is a Republican administration and
one would presume that the colored vote
would be unit in voting a Republican
ticket | venture the assertion that if
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt were the
nominees Of their respective parties, the
colored voters throughout the country
would vote for Mr.. Bryan. The colored
citizen feels that he owes nothing to
this administration. He has been dis
appointed.

At KANNS
MRS. CURTIS CALLED HIS HAND.

There was a lively tilt at Kann's this
week when Mrs. A. NJ. Curtis called
for lunch at Kan's store. A white lady
entered the lunch room and seated her
self at the lunch counter and said that
she wanted lunch for herself, nurse and
child, The lady was informed that she
but the Negro servant could not. But,
remarked the lady, my child will not
eat unless you permit her nurse to eat
also" Il can't help that" remarked
the attendant Mrs. Curtis, who was
enjoying a deviled crab at the time and
who IS one of the best and one of the
most thoroughly bred women in the
country, jumped up from the table and
rushed to Mr.. Kann's office and told
him that a colored girl came to his
lunch counter with little white child
and she was told that she could not be
served because she was a Negress. "Is
this the policy of your placer" remarked
Mrs Curtis in a very cool and indig-
nant manner. do you know me-"
yes" remarked Mr. Kann, you are Mrs.
Curtis" "Well, sir, | want you to know
that I spend sixty dollars month in
your store and from this day l shall not
spend another cent" said this distin-
guished lady and she returned hastily
to the lunch counter and finished her
crab, but before she had finished the
girl asked her if she wanted anything
else. No." said Mrs Curtis, Il
shall never come in your place again. ,"
This is the way every colored woman
and man should act when he or she is
insuited.

FORAKER HAS NOT LOST HIS

In statement issued at Washington
Tuesday night, Senator Foraker an
nounces his willingness to measure
swords with the Taft-Burton-Vorys
combination, and suggests that the call
for the State Convention shall provide
for the selection of delegates by a direct
popular vote, allowing a sufficient time
for the discussion Of the questions about
which all are concerned, each side to
abide the termination of such a contest
and ever after hold its peace. The state
ment is not only of a sensational char
acter, and shows that the Senator still
retains his nerve
i do not want any political honors
from the people of Ohio" says the Sen
ator, without their hearty approval"
But if the Senator takes the stump
and since he has challenged his oppo-
nents, they cannot well get away from
it, there will be something doing. and
he will be supported in the forum of de
bate by some Of his friends. It IS pre.
sumed this speaking campaign will be
on in all its ferceness by the Fourth oi
July, 1908, and there will be no occasion
for the expenditure Of any money BY

THE ADVISORY COUNCIL


1t is believed that the new Advisory
Council that has been organized by the
superintendent, DR.. Chancellor, will be
IA great acquisition to the schools. The
superintendent means to be properly
advised upon all school matters but it
does seem that such persons should be
selected who have a thorough knowl-
edge Of the workings of their respective
departments and such persons who will
properly advise the superintendent. It
IS believed that the superintendent is
endeavoring to place the public schools
upon basis that will be beneficial to
the schools The great trouble with the
colOred schools will be found among
those who have some personal animos-
ity against certain teachers and instead
of properly advising the superintendent,
they will misrepresent the teachers to
him. The only way that the superinten-
dent is to know whether Just and hon
est report is given is for him to make a
personal investigation Of the reports that
are made to him.
