Nine Thousand Ohio Coal
Miners Drawing Benefits

Columbus, O.-Nine thousand Ohio
coal miners are drawing unemploy-
ment compensation benefits, it was
learned today at the Bureau of Un-
employment Compensation. According
to G. Scott Kallenbaugh, director of
the unemployment compensation divis-
ion Of the bureau, 5000 claims were
released due to the mine owners hav-
ing furnished reports that their mines
closed voluntarily. By virtue of this
closing, the former eligibility of the
miners was re-established.
Since May Is, 1000 claims were re-
leased as result of claims received
from miners who had not returned to
work at the cessation of the strike
The mines which formerly employed
them failed to reopen upon termination
of the strike.
1t is estimated that 6,C0O miners
have returned to work since no claims
have been filed by that number out
Of the original $4,000 claimants which
had filed claims between March "a
and April /, 1889. +

set up in 1870 in the basement of
the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian
Church and was known as the Pre-
paratory High School. AS early as
1858 plans had been drawn for a
high school for the white children
but they were postponed by the Civil
War. Some high school studies were
incorporated in grammar schools,
but this resulted in overcroWding.
An advanced grammar school grade
for qualified eighth grade white girls
was set up in 1865 and this course
was extended to two years in 1879.
The name high school was adopted
in 1880 by the white schools.
This early colored high school
moved subsequently to various loca-
tionS ending up as the present Dun
bar High School in 1917. Prior to
this it was best known as the old
M Street High School near the inter-
section of New York and New Jersey
avenues. Many of the present school
officials and teachers are graduates
OF this school and of Miner Teachers
College which became part of the
school system in 1879.
The first high school commence
ment was held in 1877 when II pupils
were given diplomas. According to
Mary Church Terrell in the Journal
OF Negro History in 1917, the first
class was to have been graduated in
1875, but the first two classes were
drawn into teaching service because
of the great demand.

in the present location of the Aerrell
Junior High.
In tho report Of supt. Newton
for the year ending in June, 1858,
side lights on the education Of COL
ored youth at that time are abun-
dant. For example, he reported
that reading, with some exceptions,
was mot up to proper standard
of excellence" and penmanship was
"far from satisfactory" He paid
tribute to the natural aptitude of
colored children for vocal music but
pointed out that this does not
preclude study of musical notation.
Mr.. Newton felt that while "fe-
male teachers unquestionably are
the best" a few male teachers Of
the right stamp" would help a lot.
He reported 594 cases of corporal
punishment but observed that in
the opinion of many parents the
teachers were too lenient. He re-
lated a complaint from one parent,
who. he notes, apparently had no
education, that "The teachers is too
soft with 'em: they must beat 'em
more. Chil'n needs heap O. beatin'
to make 'em have and to make 'em
larn"
Was Used to Being Whipped.
One incorrigible who was ques-
toned by Mf. Newton frankly con-
fessed that where he had previously
attended school he had always been
whipped and he didn't know how
to behave without it.
The superintendent recorded con-
siderable tardiness, which he at
tributed to the lack of watches and
timepieces among the parents.
Suitable bells for each schoolhouse,
he opined would probably remedy
this situation.
1t is also interesting to note that
Mr.. Newton classed ample play
ground space as highly important"
Thus from small beginnings has
grown the present educational
structure for educating the colored
citizens of the District. Night school
began virtually simultaneously with
the day school and vocational train
ing has now been added as well as
education for crippled children. A
program of community center ac-
Evening star., 1939-01-15

in rear of the Lincoln may be the
original first colored schoolhouse.
The first schoolhouse was a twe-
story affair with two classrooms on
each floor and was dedicated by the
Rev. Henry Highland Garnet-for
whom Asst. Supt. Wilkinson is
named.
1t should be mentioned that at
this time there were other schools
for Negroes in Washington operated
by various philanthropic agencies
and the Freedman's Relief Associa-
ton. Between these schools there
developed a lively and unhealthy
rivalry for the best pupils. Children,
disciplined in one school, would re-
tort by enrolling in another. This
was put to an end by the formation
in this same year of the District of
Columbia Educational Association.
Many of these other schools were
held in churches and, after the Civil
War, the Freedman's Bureau sue
ceeded in obtaining the use of many
old barracks as schools.
In 1866, while the Mayor and
Congress were feuding, the legisla-
tors set aside his Interpretation of
the law in favor of the reading of
the trustees and authorized the lat
ter to take the Mayor into court if
he failed to make payments as di-
rected. The sum of $4,000 was ap-
propriated, too, for buildings for COL
ored schools, since. a historian re-
cords, they were the only section of
the population not provided for.
Two years later similar appropria-
ton was made. but this ended allot-
ments of this type.
A special census the following year
made the colored population one
third instead of one fifth. OF the
so schools for colored in operation
then, only five were under the trus-
tees.
A. E. Newton Superintendent.
AS early as 1867, there was super
intendent of schools for the colored.
A. E. Newton being the first to hold
the office. He was succeeded by Mr..
Cook, who held Office for about 80
years. In the early years of this
century, the two school systems were
consolidated under a superintendent
and the heads of the two separate
systems were given the rank of as
sistant superintendents. Still later
they were promoted to first assistant
superintendents-the present rank
of DR.. Wilkinson. DR.. w. S. Mont
gomery followed Mr.. Cook and was
succeeded by R. c. Bruce. The next
incumbent was DR.. Wilkinson.

Early Steps in Education of CoIored Children
Started With Free School in Church
IS Years Of Progress
To Be Theme of
Observunces

In church at Fourth and D
streets Sc, the first free school for
colored children in the District was
opened on March /, 1864.
Members of the Capitals colored
community are now at work on
plans to celebrate this event by de-
voting at least one meeting of civic
groups, business units, and parent
teacher associations between this
date and the closing of the school
year to the tale of the founding of
public education for children of the
Negro race in Washington.
At the same time First Assistant
Supt. Garnet C. Wilkinson, in
charge of colored schools, is await
ing a report from a committee ap-
pointed to map out appropriate ex-
ercises for observance in the schools.
1t is expected he will present the
recommendations of this group to
the Board of Education at an early
date, possibly Wednesday.
The way of Negro education here
was thorny in its earlier days against
the background of reconstruction
and race prejudice, but for IS years
it has progressed until today more
than $4,000 children are being taught
in about so buildings-an educa-
tional program probably among the
best to be found for the race where
separate schools are maintained"
according to the recent report of
President Roosevelt's Advisory Com
mittee on Education.
Act Passed in 1862.
Before 1862, public schools had
been closed to the colored citizens
even those paying taes, but in that
year Congress passed an act setting
aside 10 per cent of the taxes paid
by colored citizens to set up schools
for their children in Washington
and Georgetown. Shortly afterward
a special board of trustees for the
co!ored schools was also created.
But the income from this source,
even supplemented by private phi
lanthropy, was insufficient, and 1t
was not until two years later that
the first free school was opened with
one teacher at a $40O a year salary
and one volunteer.
In this same year, Congress passed
an act recognizing the colored citi-
zens as part of the community and
allotting money for the schools on
a population proportion basis. The
trustees set this at 20 per cent.
The money clause wos so loosely
written, however, that the Mayor OF
the city, by his Interpretation OF it,
was able to cut this in half and he
declared that even this amount was
too much in relation to the taxes
paid by the Negroes.
The Mayor charged that Congress
had changed the law of 1862 because
of a need to provide for new and
powerful element of political
party"
Despite this reading of the money
clause, the colored schools forged
ahead and on May /, 1865, the first
public school building was dedicated
on c street between Second and
Third streets S. E. In an early an
nual report of George F. T. Cook,
superintendent of colored schools,
it is stated that this building was re-
moved when the Abraham Lincoln
School was built. Some persons be-
lieve, however, that frame building

education marches on. DR.. Wilkin-
