THE SCHOOLS
Opposition to NOll and Baily.

There is a great deal of dissatis-
faction to Messrs. John c. Noll and
w. L. Baily, as supervising principals
in the colored schools. The immedi-
ate transfer of these two men, would
undoubtedly give entire satisfaction to
those who are interested in the public
schools.
What the schools need, are men who
have the support of the teachers, and
the public. There are men connected
with the schools who would make good
successors to Noll and Baily.
