Seek Far Play"

Immediately upon the assembling OF
the sixty-sixth Congress an appeal will
be made by the District OF Columbia
Branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie in behalf OF the neglected colored
children OF Washington"
The committee have prepared memo
randum which will be presented to
the House and Senate without delay.
1t will be shown that while the school
bill introduced in the late Congress
contains no item under the heading
OF Buildings and Grounds" except
SIS 900 for portable schools. the esti-
mates of the Board of Education do
not ask for one single dollar for the
buildings and grounds Of the colored
public schools"
1t will be cited that the colored pop
ulation OF the District of Columbia is
approximately one-third of the total
population and that 'all sections OF
the colored. community are agitated
over the salaries received by certain
officers in their schools"
A colored superintendent for colored
school janitors is asked for and the
appeal concludes with this paragraph:
"As long as colored children here are
forced to attend separate public
schools it is Indispensable that all
their teachers and all their super
visory and administrative officers be
colored men and women. Let the au-
tonomy OF these separate schools. as
fixed by the organic law, be preserved
