The Bee Gives the Details of a Ru
NOR Accepted by Many as a Ger
tain Agreement.

The school muddle, with the de-
plOrable. inconSistant and indefensi-
bic attitude If the three colored
members of the Board of Education,
has given rise to all sorts of rumors
a to the real object of the three
cUIored members opposition to As
sistant Superintendent Bruce. DR..
Tunnel has admitted in an inter
view in last Sundays Post, that they,
the three colored members, have no
specific charges against Mr.. Bruce.
This admission is largely responsible
for some of the rumOrS current con-
cerning the real animus behind the
opposition. The one rumor that
seems to be given the most credence,
not only by the public, but by those
who, to- more or less degree. enjoy
the confidence of the three colored
board members. is that the Bruce op-
position is inspired to accomplish
the following: Secure the appoint
ment of Prof. Scott Montgomery,
brOther-in-law of Mrs Harris, the
new member of the board, to the as
sistant superintendency, his appoint
ment to be temporary, and he to be
succeeded by DIR. Tunnel, member
| OF the board, as the permanent ap-
| pointment as soon as DR.. Tunnel1s
term expires as board member, which
will be next summer Then Prof
| Sherman Jackson is slated for prinCi-
pal of NJ Street High School; Wilder
Montgomery. nephew Of Mrs. Harris

to succeed DR. Bruce Evans, the man
having been determined upon, but
his name held a secret; the appoint
ment OF Mrs Harris daughter as
teacher, and the election, next sum-
mer OF r. r Horner as trustee of

he has aspired, to succeed DIR. James
