MUST NOT BE

There must be no more
trouble in the High School" re-
marked Captain James F Oyster,
President of the Board of Edu-
cation. This is the way The Bee
wants the Captain to talk and
act accordingly. The President
of the Board of Education is very
sympathetic as we'll as positive.
The importation of an outsider
as Principal Of the High School
was a mistake. There are plenty
of competent teachers in the
schools from whom a selection
could have been made. If John
c. Nalle was qualified to retain
his position as Supervising Prin-
cipal, he is competent to be at
the head of the Negro High
School. Professor Montgomery
would have made a good Prin-
cipal.
The Negro schools seem-to be
upside down. There is something
radically wrong in our schools.
Mr.. Stafford would have made a
good principal of the High
School. This school agitation
will result in harm to the schools
1t is to be regretted. An inves-
tigation of conditions in the High

that will warrant additional re,

les, colored man, may be appointed
as Cashier under the Collector for the
Sixth Internal Revenue District of
California, without respect to civil
service regulations This ored is
made because of the intention of
President Roosevelt to make it at the
time the District was created. but he
was unable to carry out his intention
because there was not sufficient money
available until the beginning of the
new fiscal year to organize the Office.
The ground upon which President
Roosevelt intended to make the order
was that Mr.. Alexander was a color
ed man, that the colored population
Cf California had not been proper
ly recognized, and that the Collector
OF the new district was greatly de-
sirous of having man appointed in
whose fidelity and capacity for the
discharge of the particular position he
had great confidence by reason of a
personal acquaintance.
