NEW CLOTHING STORE
is "MAKING GOOD"
Equal to Large City Store" is
Verdict of Visitors at McCub-
bin Establishment.

G. A. McCubbin's new clothing stor e
seems to have ''caught on'' right from
the start with Jasper people judging
from the crowds that have filled tho
store since it first opened its doors to
the public last Saturday morning. Mr..
McCubbin, who is the owner Of one Of
southwest Missouri's finest clothing
establishments at Carthage, seems in
every to have lived up to his promise,
widely advertised, to. give Jasper a
clothing store that will compare favor
ably with similar establishments 10 the
larger cities, That would seem, at least,
to be the verdict of the natives, who
have been without clothing store
since the closing Of the Harrington
store last wiuter, and who have kept
the new clothing men Cup to their
necks" with patronage all week.
One of the most attractive features of
the new store is the artistic window
trimming, done by Stanley McCubbin,
who is in charge of the store.
Mr.. McCubbin says this store has
come to stay, the only question in his
in his mind being whether the present
quarters will accommodate the business
that seems to be headed their way.

Want Man of Greater Judgment.

Want Man of Greater Judgment.
THAT although the appropriation
bill, carrying an appropriation Of S32,-
600 for the colored schools and over
5000, 900 for the white schools, was re-
ported from the committee January 8,
1909. and it did not finally pass Con-
gress until the following March" an
other charge reads, yet in spite OF the
knowledge which the assistant superin-
tendent must have had of this glaring
and unjust inequality, he made no ef-
fort to remedy it." Further, it is al
legged that "the assistant superintend-
ent is not qualified by training or ex-
perience to discharge the duties OF his
office" The concluding charge is that
the colored citizens of the District OF
Columbia are dissatisfied with the ad-
ministration Of the assistant super1n-
tendent of public schools, and feel that
a man of greater judgment. experience
and competency should be appointed to
preside over their schools"
The charges are signed by N. b. Mar
shall. president, and James L. Neill.
secretary. Of the citizens association.

Hopes for Retirement Law.

The board of education submitted to
Congress at its recent session retire
ment bill. hoping in this way to
strengthen the schools by retiring teach
ers OF long and faithful service who
should not be expected To continue the
strenuous life of teaching, but should he
properly provided for in order that their
las years may be comfortable pos
S.hie. GnfoT. una tely. the matter was not
brought before the houses of Congress
for their action. but effort will be re-
newed TO have the matter properly sub
mitted to the houses Of Congress at their
coming session. 1T is sincerely hoped
that the support OF the President and
other government officials of the general
question Of retirement may assist in Gre
at.ng sentiment in favor OF the retire
ment of school employees with proper
financial provision.
During the past year the school Off
cials have had the work OF looking after
the enforcement OF the child labor law.
This work was thrust upon the schools
without any provision for clerical as
sistance. The magnitude OF the under
taking is shown by the fact that about
Evening star., 1909-07-02

1000 cases have been handled, involving
the issuing Of permits. the investigation
OF requests and complaints and the prose-
cution of cases before the Juvenile Court
1t is my opinion that the board of educa-
ton and school officials should be relieved
entirely from this work and that II
should be conducted as a phase of the
work incident to the Juvenile Court in It's
supervision of child labor and conduct
The report concluded with expressions
of regret at the continued illness of John
F. Cook, former member of the board
because of the resignation of its attorney.

thanks to officers and teachers of the
school system and members of the poaru.
Citizens File Charges.
The airing of matters affecting the col
ored schools began after this report had
been read. Joseph H. Stuart explained
that he and a delegation with him rep
resented a citizens association of the
District which is largely composed of
members having children in the public
schools. The committee, he declared, de-
sired to place charges against Assistant
Supt. Bruce. The paper was Lied with
out being read.
1t is first charged that 'in violation of
his duty to administer the schools under
his authority in an impartial manner ne
has been guilty of proselyting in favor or
the Armstrong Manual Training Sehool.
A second charge is made that the as
sistant superintendent has been guilty
of persecution and disCourtesy toward the
principal of the NJ Street High School.
In the third charge it is set forth that
1.-The artless and devious methods OF dis
stimulation practiced by the assistant
superintendent toward the public and
teachers alike have failed to inspire either
with that feeling of confidence and respect
of his office, and have injected spirit OF
insecurity among the teachers, thereby
demoralizing the efficiency of their work ,
Further. it is charged that the assistant
Superintendent has made recommends
tions to members Of the school board
which can be shown to have been IN
fiuenced by personal spite on the part OF
himself or by the promptings of syco-
phantic courtiers of both sexes. and his
actions throughout his whole administra-
ton have been been characterized by
yacillating deceit" Another charge de-
clares that "the correct ideals and morale
of the colored schools have deteriorated
under his administration.
