ency is concerned. The whites are
much exercised over the report
made to the President that the
schools Of Washington are more eX-
penslVely administered than those Of
other cities of similar size in the

people who know the peculiar condi-
lions which exist here, and the ex-
element is likely to be shortlived.

they will have to pay the price. The
reelection Of Superintendent \. #.
L Stuart practically assures the reten-
ton of Roscoe Conkling Bruce as
the head of the colored schools.
