that he feels he can no longer give
his valuable time to the duties he has
performed so faithfully and effectively
in the past.
Men of Captain Oysters integrity,
Clearness of vision, and vigor of right
purpose are few and far between. The
city has been fortunate in that he has
given its public institutions and its
general progressive affairs so much at
tention. Any lessening in his efforts
toward the upbuilding of Washington
and the things that make Washington
what it is will be felt as a loss by all
who keep abreast of the forward
movement of the community.
In casting about for a successor to
Captain Oyster on the school board
those upon whom the responsibility of
selection rests can do no better than
to enlist the services of a man who
measures up to him who is stepping

Oyster IS a mighty good standard to
follow in choosing those who are to
direct the affairs of our public schools.

A PECULIAR PEOPLE

There are some peculiar cOlored
people in this country. This pc
culiar people seem to have more
regard and respect for their enc
mics than they do for their
friends. The man who abuses
them is respected. The man who
defends them they want removed.
Every man has his enemies. Take
for instance, DR.. Thirkield, the
president of Howard University,
who is being criticised because he
does what he believes to be right
and proper. If some one would
ask what DR.. Thirkield had done
to merit criticism no one could
say. He has taken every OppOr-
tUnity to defend the cOlOred
American against attacks. He
has done what no other man has
done. The Bee believes that the
president of Howard University
will do the fair thing towards the
colOred people. He has shown his
friendship for them in more ways
than one. He has cOmbated
every attack made against them.
What more can a man do!

The Bee wishes to announce that
its next contest will be even
greater than the present one.
This contest Will close on the
evening of July 18th at eight
o'clock. and all successful contes-
tants will be published in the issue
of The Bee, July 9th. Votes will
be received up to and including

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

The graduates of the cOlOred
public schools were addressed
last Friday, June 18th, by Mr..
r. r. Howard. member of the 10
cal Board and a member of the
Board of Education. The speak
er took the same position that The
Bee has heretofore taken. The
Bee believes. and has always be
lieved. that cOlOred Americans
should pay as much attention to
industrial education as they do to
an academic education. The col
Ored student should know how to
use his hands as we'll as his arms.
They are needed among cOlOred
Americans in all branches of
trades. Just think of it, we
haven't a cOlOred registered
plumber in this city. This
branch of industry is controlled
and monopolized bv white men.
The colored student must get
out of his head that all branches
of education leads to a profession.
There are ten millions of colored
people in the United States who
are subjected to the white man in
all Branches of industry, trades
and professions.
There are white people in this
country who are ready and will
ing to elevate the colOred student
in all branches of industry and
the professions if he will help
himself.

CAPTAIN OYSTER.

There has never been a fairer
man and a more just one in public
life, to all classes and natiOnali-
ties, than Captain James F.
Oyster. When he rendered his
resignation as president of the
Beard of Education no greater
surprise ever met the ears of the
people. They know him, our
teachers, regardless of color or
condition, honor and appreciate
him. Why would not the people
miss him! Why would not the
teachers in our schools feel his
retirement as president of the
Board of Education? Because he
stands between the people and the
enemies of the schools. Because
he is never too busy to spend his
own money and lose his own time
to give a fair hearing to the COM
plants of teachers against ty-
ranny. He believes in fair play,
and it Is the wish of the people
and the teachers that his resigna-
tiOn be not accepted. The Times
of last Sunday voices the feeling
of the people. The sentiment of
the Times Is the sentiment of all
people who believe in giving
credit to a man who has Sacri-
feed so much of his business for
the people without hope of re-
ward. The Bee voices the senti-
ment of the cOlored teachers and
many thousands of colored par
ents whose children have been pro-
tected by him.

Children's Excursion.

The fourth annual complimentary
excursion to Washington Park for
the benefit OF children Of the 10th,
nth, 18th, and 18th Divisions Of the
public schools was held Saturday.
The excursion proved the most popu-
lar given. These excursions not only
appeal to the school children from the
pleasurable standpoint, but also from
an educational standpoint. The chill
dren, under the supervision of their
classroom teachers, were carried
through valuable geography lessons
both on land and on water. About
6,OOO were carried down the Potomac
this year; the largest ever. These ex-
Cursions are made possible through
the courtesy of Mr. Lewis Jefferson
The boat was loaned by Mr.. Ben

ments consisted of Miss n. T. Jack

ing principal of the 18th Division;

SHAMS.

A news bureau of a local daily
paper announced last Tuesday
that the Republicans in the
Eighth District of Virginia have
declined to put a candidate in the
field for Congress to run against
II. c. Carlin. the Democrat, who
has been nominated. 1t seems to
be a useful gift on the part of the
Republican administration to
continue placing Democrats in
office throughout the South. It is
not helping the Republican party
at all. The more Democrats you
Dut in office the stronger the cOun-
tv or the State goes Democratic.
Republican administrations ought
to learn a lesson by now. What
has the administration gained by
turning out all Republicans in the
South and appointing Demo

people of this city awake to the
awful fact that the unjust dis
elimination against the negroes,
which forces nearly twenty thou
sand negroes to live in filthy,
germ-infected alleys, they are not
only sending hundreds of negro
infants and adults to an untimely
grave, but are also sending hun
dreds of their own flesh and blood
as well. perhaps they will be ap-
palled at the slaughter, and per

the beginning that a Southern

EXPOSITION RESOLTTION.

The House, last Monday night,
rejected the resolution of Con
gressmen ROdenberg and Taylor
providing for commission, and
the appropriation of $4,000 for
its expenses. to determine the ad-
visibility of holding an eXpOsi-
tiOn cOmmerOrating the fifty
years of freedom for the negroes
of this country. While the House
rejected the resolution, it does not
spell defeat. The vote on the re-
solution Monday night was a vote
rs to whether or not it should be
taken up out Of its regular order
and passed. As it is now, the
House refused to take it up under
a suspension of rules and pass it,
and to have done this would have
required a twO-third vote. The
vote recorded in its favor Monday
night. 159 yeas to 81 nays, would
pass it if up in its regular order.
However. as it is so far down on
the calendar. and as adjournment
of Congress is now but a few days
off. it is doubtful if the resolution
can be reached this session. This
Is to be regretted by all negroes.

cratic votes alone, although many
Democrats. both from the South

ing it up and passing it at Mon
day nights session. But 81 Demo
cratic votes were recorded against
it. COngressmen ROdenberg, Of
Illinois, and Taylor, of Ohio, did
yeOman work for the resolution.
and their regret at its failure of
passage is as sincere as the regret
of the race it was thought to serve.
And vet the great advocates want

A WARNING TO WHITES.

That was a terrible warning
Mr.. r. W. Oyster gave the whites
of Washington the other day, in
speaking of the filthy alleys in
Washington. And it was a ter
rible arraignment of the whites
when he pointed out that 433 ne
gro children out of every 1000
born in the alleys, die before they
are a year old. The cOnquests of
war furnish no slaughter greater
than this. Nearly twenty thou
sand negroes of Washington are
forced, by race prejudice. to live
in the unsanitary, filthy alleys of
Washington. And in these alleys

SCHOOL REPORTS.

The Bee, since the publication
of the article written by ex-Trus-
tee Henry johnson, relative to
omission of reports from the
heads Of the various departments
in the annual report of the Board
of Education of the work accom-
plished by the cOlOred pupils,
and the subsequent cOpiOus eX-
tracts from the report of Assis-
tant Superintendent Bruce infer
entially explanatory, has been de
luged with requests for a bill of
particulars. The Bee, in the in
terest of education, and as a
friend of the Board of Education,
deprecates anything calculated to
impede the progress of the
schools or that which in anyway
is likely to embarrass those re
spOnsible for their management.
While that is true, it also rec
Ognizes that its obligations to the
people" whose children attends
these schools is such that personal
consideration is secondary to the
general good. In that spirit, it
deems it just and proper, when
called upon, to furnish facts and
facts only, bearing on any con
trOvertable point. The issue raised
bV eX-Trustee johnson was that
the higher branches taught IN
the white schools received, in the
annual report, full credit, while
similar branches in the cOlored
schools received no consideration
whatever. In looking the matter
up we find that up to the report
in question, the cOlOred schools
received equal consideration with
the whites, but, as stated by eX-
Trustee Johnson, no mention or
credit is given in the report of
1908. The immediate proceed
ing report, 1867, does full JUS
tice to the cOlored schools. special
reports being printed from the
various heads, among which are
those from the NJ Street
High School. Armstrong Manual
Training, kindergarten Depart
ment, Normal School No. 2, At
tendance Officer and Assistant Di-
rector of Primary Instruction.
We also earned that the heads of
the various departments sub
mitted their reports to Assistant
Superintendent Bruce, which re-
lieved them of any responsibility
for their non-appearance in the
annual report. The broad exper-
ience of Mr.. Bruce as an educator.
acquired at Harvard and Tuske-
gee, doubtless suggested to him
the culling of the gems from the
several reports and embodied
them in a general report bearing
his name as it would give more
value and weight by his official
signature attached thereto.
