Neglect of the colored school chill
dren of Chicago has been denounced
by Aid. George NJ. Maypole of the
l4th ward, who is preparing himself
for a finish fight in their behalf before
the city council and before the board
of education.
Aid. Maypole declared that the sani-
tary conditions in many of the public
schools attended by the colored chill
dren on the west side were a disgrace
He referred specifically to the Hayes,
Emmerson and Brown schools. The
alderman also pointed out a lack of
Fairgrounds and small parks in the
district populated by the colored peo-
pie in that part of Chicago. He said
that these children were being neglect
ed in other ways.
Aid. Louis B. Anderson, administra-
ton floor leader in the city council,
expressed his full sympathies with the
announced campaign of Aid Maypole
and declared he would give him every
support in the fight

of the colored children.
Every possible convenience has
been provided in the schools attended
by the white children. Practically
every such school has been equipped
with big, open Fairgrounds for their
benefit. In many instances those
schools also are equipped with indoor

for few moments to state that Con-

were disgracing themselves by seek
ing our advice or opinion on certain
measures which were at that time
pending before Congress.

much was said in the daily newspa-
pers concerning the cause of the i'll
ness Of the late Dr. Booker 7. Wash

time through the columns of many
of them that DR.. w. A. Bastedo of

racial characteristics were the main
