Tendered the Tue New U: The Public Schools, SEPTEMBER MEETING OF THE TRUSTERS—A COLOR QUESTION RAISED—APPLICATIONS, NOM- INATIONS AND RESIGNATIONS OF TEACHERS— THE STANDING COMMITTEES APPOINTED. The Board of School Trustees met last even- ing at Franklin building. A communication was received from Robert W. Fenwick and others asking the appointment of a teacher for the kindergarten school at 13th street and Ohio avenue at $450 per year; re- ferred to the committee on teachers. | , An offer was received from Prof. Henri Mas- son to give a course of lessons in French in the Normal school, which was accepted withthanks. Miss Rosetta Gasch applied for an indefinite leave of absence gn account of ill-health; | granted. : = cummunication suggesting the introduction of copy slips in the schools was referred to the committee on text books. THE COLOR QUESTION RAISED. Acommunication was received from James M. Gregory, of 6th street extended, appealing from the action of the teachers of the Prescott Building, under direction of Mr. Wormley, in refusing admission to his son (7 years old) which he alleges was on account of color. Mr. Gregory says: “On Monday the 5th day of September inst., I sent my son, Eugene, at 9 o'clock a. m. to ‘the public school taught in the Prescott Building (Miss Nichols, principal) to be admitted as pupil. At that time and as late as Friday last, other children were admitted as new pupils. ‘My child was refused admission on Monday, Tuesday, and other days of the week, the teacher, the principal, and the trustee in charge, Mr. Wormley, each refusing, the two former pleading itive instructions to that effect from Mr. Wormley. Mr. Wormley him- | self, In a written answer, on behalf of the sub- board, to an application addressed to him by me, refers me to a rule of the board of trustees directing that “separate schools for white children and colored children shall pal eas in accordance with existing laws,” and thus, by implication, declares that he refuses to admit my ‘son to the Prescott Building on account of color. If it be claimed that at the time of the establishment of toe preent public-school system in the District of Columbia expediency demanded separate schools, so that persons of different colors might send to special ones, if they chose to do so, and that in the larger num- ber of cases these have been sufficient for the public needs, still this expediency does not vest. our honorable body with legal power to erect into law, agaiust the provisions of several acts of Congress, absolute discriminations against citizens on account of their race or color, to dis- regard in admissions to school all considerations | of convenience or propriety, and to inflict upon innocent children pains and degradation dictated by Berenice of times now happily past. * * * The school to which, I must presume, the trustee in charge wishes me to send the child is more than three times as far from my residence as the school in the Prescott building. * * * To exclude him from the Prescott school is in effect to impose upon me the alternative of seek- ing to educate him at great expense in other schools where this unjust discrimination is not made, or to teach him at this tender age that he is now to be publicly assigned to a proscribed class of the citizens of his country, and thus de- prived of that equality before the law which is established er Constitution fd the va States. I do therefore respectfully petition you to reverse the decision of Mr. Wormley, the trustee in charge, and of the sub-board of the division, and to grant the application which I new make to you for the admission of my son —— to the school kept in the Prescott build- ing.” RESIGNATIONS AND APPLICATIONS. The resignations of the following teachers were accepted: Anna M. Briggs, 6th division; Mary C. Dodge and Mary E. Bohrer, 3d division. The applications of the following for teacher's position were referred: Mrs. A. C. Gatche]l, 0. M. Wood, Roe F. Saunders, A. F. Perrie, Jose- phine A. Church, Lucy Reder, C. N. Bowman, Mary A. Brownell, Lizzie H. Norton, Frank R. Lane, Emma C. Bonney, Hattie Craft. Applications of Edwin S. Smith and John E. Ferguson for janitor’s positions were referred. A WARM-WEATHER SUGGESTION NOT ACCEPTED. A letter was received from Emeline Weight- man, of the Seaton building, suggesting during the present phenomenal spell of weather that there should be but one session of the schools per day, which would bea relief to the pupiis by saving them an oppressive walk at noon time. Mr. Lovejoy offered resolutions relating to this communication, which were adopted. They declare that respectful communications to the board will receive attention; that the board does not deem the suggestion a wise one, and com— mends to the teachers the fundamental law of the Diese giving the board the control of the schools.

TUE COLOR QUESTION REFERRED TO A COMMIT- EE. TEE. Mr. Brown offered the following as the report of the sub-board of the sixth division in refer- ence to the petition of Mr. Gregory: “Your communication of the 6th inst. isreceived. In reply I have to refer you to the ‘Rules of the Public Schools, D. C..’ article 1.

If you desire to avail yourself of the public schoolac- commodations for your child, provided by the board, the sub- of the division will Dies gon school within the —— as your shall, after examinatic fe qualified for admission to.” 3 a: Mr. Brown moved that the subject be referred to a select committee of three. Mr. Brooks said he had been informed that there was a colored child in the Franklin build- ing. "Nir. Lovejoy said he had heard the same, and went to the school to pick out the child, but se- lected a white one. Mr. Curtis.— You must be color blind.” Mr. Brown said that last year a colored child had been admitted by Mr. Wormley to this school by mistake, Mr. Smith moved a reference of the subject to the committee on ruies; carried—7 to 5. The sub-board of the fourth division was granted authority to rent additional school Tooms. Mr. Brooks moved that in all the rentedrooms old furniture be used as far as practicable; adopted and referred to the committee on sup— plies, &c. THE HIOH SCHOOL VACANCTES. Mr. Lloyd, from a minority of the committee on teachers, offered the following resolution:— “That the next highest who have shown promi- nence in the intellectual studivs be admitted to the vacancies in the high school.” After some discussion the ehairman ruled that there was no appeal from the decission of the | committee.

HIS DISMISSAL FROM OFFICE. To the Editor of Tax Evextne Star: If the statement made in Tue Stag of Friday was received. by Mr. Lynch’s friends as it has been by other parties since, it would not appear so favorable. The officers of the Excelsior: some of them did not know what they were signing, and others did not know of the circum- stance at all. When the boat returns perhaps there may be another statement. Here is a con- tradiction of one: “SerTemBer 10rTu, 1881. “Madam:—I was surprised to see in THE STAR of yesterday the communication from the officers of the Excelsior. Your niece came to me for protection, and I placed her under the charge of Mr. John 8. Morris, one of the officers of the be Yours truly, A. WALTERS, J.

Don’t be anxious, dear; your time is near an end, when it shall make Jelly out of you. Yours, Deatu.” A letter from Mad River, Ohio, evidently con- tains a hangman’s knot.

Orange, N.J. —————— The Remedy for the Dust Nuisance. To the Editor of Tux Evenine Star: Complaints frequently appear in the papers in regard to the way the street-sweepers injure property by sweeping without watering. The people haye the remedy in their own hands. If an injury isdone by dust or anything else a warrant can be obtained at the Police Court free for the driver or contractor. The attention of the nearest policeman should be called to it, and if he does not act ir the matter he should be re- ported to his superior. If one or two deter- mined cases are made and prosecuted proper watering will follow. Mac. The Courts. Equity Court—Judge Wylie. To-day, Bauer agt. Tschiffly et al.; order ex- tending time.

A stone battle occurred 1; night between 8 and 9 o'clock, near the inter ion of King afd Payne streets, between white boys and colored boys.

The arrests have not been completed, and it is said that some thirty will be brought in. The mayor will hear the case at 4 o'clock this afternoon: It was at this crossing that the so-called “Christmas riots” took place in 1867, and a colored soldier was killed.

TuE RESULT oF THE CONVENTIONS.—The two conventions which met here yesterday made the nominations anticipated by THz Star. An at- tempt to make a coalition failed. A conference committee agreed to recommend that all unite in support of the Mahone state ticket and also in support of Mr. E. Burke, straightout repub- lican for the house of delegates. This was in pursuance of a plan which is general through- out the state, the republicans asking the sup- port of the readjusters to the republican local ticket as the condition of republican support of the readjuster state ticket. The plan did not succeed here, and as mentioned yesterday sepa- rate nominations were made. AccePTEeD.—Mr. Edward Burke and 8. B.
