‘THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, ,f THE SCHOOL BOARD. A Lively Time at Its Meeting Tues" day Night. THE PRESIDENTS REPORT ON THE COLORED SCHOOLS CKITICISED—MR. CORNISH'S PROTEST BEAD AND COMMENTED UPON—MR. MITCHELL 18 SUSTAINED BY MR. BRUCE IN HIS STATE- MEXTS, For some time past the sessions of the school board have been as uneventful as the trans- action of merely routive business could make them. Atthe meeting Tuesday evening there was a slight change in the program. A matter was introduced that gave promise ef a breezy discussion, and while there ‘was some carnest talk yet the members @id not get sufficiently warmed up to in- @ulge in any remarks that were calcu- lated to produce heated personalitics. The entire discussion revolved about a paragraph in the last annual report of the president of the board, John T. Mitchell, to the Commissioners, The paragraph reads as follows: WHAT CAUSED THE DISCUSSION. “The seventh and eighth divisions embracing the colored schools of the city have been a sub- Ject of serious thought with the whole board of trustees. The question has been asked by the best class of colored citizens and by others who feel a deep interest iu the success of their schools, are we getting the best results obtain- able for the expenditure of means? From the best information that I, as the president of the board of trustees, have been able to obtain I am clearly of the opinion that we do not. I have been visited by end have consulted with the most intelligent aud educated of the colored citizens, with whom it bas been a subject of apxious thought. What, say they, shall we do to improve our schools? We know that we are not obtaining the best results; we are not abreast of the white schools, nor do we yet ex- pect to be; but we are too far behind them, and such should not be the case.” MR. CORNISH’S PROTEST. The attention of the board was called to the matter by Mr. Cornish, one of the colored members of the board, who, while disclaiming apy intention of reflecting personally upon the president, yet deemed it his duty as rep- resenting one of the divisions named to enter & protest against the statements contained in the report. Dr.Shadd and Mr. Bruce,the Recorder of deeds, the other two colored members of the board, had their say, and then president Mitchell responded and J. J. Darlington, the only other trustee present, made a few brief observations. Mr. Cornish in bis remarks commented — She fact that the report of President Mitchell was not authorized by the board and protested against it on the following grounds: Ist. ‘There bas not been any complaint made to this board, and investigated by order of the same. 2d. The members of the 7th and 8th divis- jons were not given any intimation that such an address, severely reflecting upon the schools which they represent, was to be published. 3d. We most positively assert that the d s of the teachers in the 7th and 8th divisions have been and are faithfully performed, and [retest against the policy of parading every jocal incident of discipline happening in these divisions and the oral statement of interested Parties as evidence of inferiority and misman- agement. He was of the opinion that if there were any complaints they should be reduced to writing and officially investigated. Dr. Shadd made an elaborate and carefully repared address, in which he started from @ proposition laid down by the best edu- cators that education should be practical and adapted to prepare the studeuts for the active duties of life. He considered that the colored High School was not alive to the spirit of the times, but was plodding along in the old beaten track, from which the other schools in our system are getting as far away as possible. When the academic course does not provide a sufficieutly liberal education for the white children who have, asa rule, superior advantages in their surroundings, how lament- able, he asked, must be the condition of the colored boys and girls who are taught the same branches only far enough to give | them a smattering the classics. He thought that it was not » surprise that such boy: id girls are walking the streets in idleness, since they have not re- eeived the kind of education which fits them for the battle of life. He considered that this was a good time to correct mistakes and he congratulated the board upon the fact that the president had seen fit to direct attention to some of the weak points in the educational ebair of public school instruction in the Dis- trict. In conclusion he moved that a commit- tee of five be appointed to investigate this ‘matter. Mr. Mitchell explained that he had written the report in order that the school reports might not be delayed. There seemed to be nothing else to doand so be had undertaken the work. He then read the paragraph re- ferred to and maintained that the facts justified the assertions made. He spoke of his kindly feeling toward ‘he colored people and their schools. and said that he was actuated in this matter solely by the desire to benefit the schools. In the opinion of Mr. Bruce it was not im- t who makes a report or what is said about the schools of the seventh and eighth divisions, The important question was, are these statements trae? He would be better satisfied when he knew whether _— were true ornot. If an investigation should be made suthority to conduct it. He did not ask for an the District Commissioners were the proper investigation, but if one was to be made he de- sired that it should be conducted by competent authority. He spoke of the colored high eourse and con! the course of study in ‘that school with the one followed in the white school he said that there was but little differ- ence betwoen the two schools, A MOTION TO INVESTIGATE. After Mr. Bruce had concluded Mr. Cornish moved that the matter be investigated, and then some informal talk followed in regard to the scope of the investigation, and it was eon- eluded by the three colored members that it ought to take in the entire system of the col- ored schools, Mr. Darlington, who was called to the chair by Mr. Mitchell and who bad taken no part in the debate,made a few remarks for the purpose, as he said, of calling attention to the fact that the board of trustees had the entire control of the course of studies and of the teachers, If there was anything wrong the board was re- sponsible and should take the proper steps to correct any defects. He also observed that it bad been customary for the annual report of the board to be written and sent to the Com- missioners without being submitted to the board. This was owing to the delay in getting the report of the superintendents to the Com- missioners’ office and the want of time to await a meeting of the board. It was proposed to prepare a resolution ai- Tecting an investigation to be made, when Upon the suggestion of Mr. Darlington it was decided to d action until the meeting.

The expected motion for a new trial in the case of Howard J. Schneider was filed yester- day afternoon. It is a very voluminous docu- ment, and embraces no less than twenty-four grounds or reasons why the motion should be granted. None of them, however, are new, all having been noted during the progress of the trial from the refural ofthe court to quash the indictment because of its alleged defectiveness in failing to set out a crime, to the exceptions taken to the charge of the court. With the motion for a new trial was filed a motion in ar- rest of judgment, the grounds of the latter motion being, first, that the indictment is in- sufficient and that it fails to charge an offense; second, that it fails to state facts sufficient to give the court jurisdiction; third, error appear- ing on the face of the record, to wit, that the court overruled the motion made by the de- fendant in the cases of Jurors Wm. Hayes and Wm. F. Lewis. It was generally expected that with these motions would be filed affidavits setting forth the fact of newly discovered evidence, but none were filed.) Such affidavits, however, may be filed at a still later period, and would form additional ground for asking a new trial before the Court in General Term. eee ANACOSTIA. FUNERAL OF MR. PURCELL. The funeral of Mr. Rolly Purcell took place at $3 p.m. Tuesday from the Jackson Street M. E. Church. Rev. Mr. McLaren, pastor of the church, officiated.

TF ACCOMPLISHED IN THE WAY OF OB- TAINING SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION. Last evening at All Souls’ Church Gen. A. W. Greely related to anaudience which filled the church to its utmost capacity the story of the famous arctic expedition commanded by him. It was nota lecture, but merely a pleas- ant recital of some of the more interesting in- cidents of the expedition. Gen. Greely said at the outset that he wished tocorrect the im- pression held by many people, both in this country and elsewhero, that the expedition had been a wild-goose chase in search of the north pole, The expedition commanded by him was acarefully planned one, sent out for the purpose of securing important scientific data, and despite its disastrous ending it had made the most valuable scientific observations ever made, The record of the expedition in that respect alone was second to none, while Lieut. Lockwood, one of its members, had planted the American flag ona point farther north than ever before attained by civilized man. Providence, together with the mis- management of man, had prevented the entire success of the expedition, but that was no reason why such expeditions should be utterly condemned. Such mishaps were liable to hap- en to the most ordinary doings of man. Gen. reely said thatthe men of the expedition were loyal and true, and he paid a glowing tribute to their devotion and self-sacrifice. He closed his remarks by exhibiting a number of photographs of arctic scenery taken by the [See ergee @ the expedition, Mr. George '. Rice of this city, @ man, saidGen.

A METHODIST CONFERENCE ON RIGID LINES— SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN THE DISTRICT. The Maryland Methodist Protestant confer- ence, meeting at Pocomoke City, Md., dis- cussed the marriage ceremony with a view of determining whether the promise of obedience on the part of the wife should be dropped. It ‘was proposed to amend the form of marriage ceremony ,by omitting the word “obey” from the clause “will thea obey, love, honor and keep him in sickness and in health.” It was claimed that this word was an insult to wo- man, contrary to the spirit of the age and es blot on the beautiful cere- mony. Dr, L. W. Bates said in Opposition that ho loved hfs wife better than any other woman onearth, She had promised to obey him, and he did not ose to let the younger girls, whom also he loved, an easier contract. It also claimed that a woman should be a m: perior in volume of affection and therefore the word should stand. The amend- ment was voted down. The conference condemned license In every form and condemns the apparent fellowship of the government in the liquor business when it licens the traffic in connection with the world’s fair. It was provided that unfermented wine should he used in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Resolutions were adopted against the open- ing of the world’s fair on Sunday and deplor- ing the failure of the national government to enact laws for proper Sabbath observance in the District of Columbia. Sunday excursions are condemned, and ministers are obligated to preach on the duty of keeping the Sabbath, soe — wuar 5 IN SPAIN THEY DROP DYNAMITING AND TAKE TO LETTER WRITING, The Spanish anarchists seem to some extent to have abandoned their dynamite outrages for the present and have taken to letter writing as a means to create fear, The prefect of Bilboa has received a large number of let- ters in which he is threatened with all sorts of dire vengeance for the part he has taken in bringing about the arrest of anarchists, The letters pot only threaten the prefect himself, but declare that the anarchists will in a short time use dj ite to destroy the churches and other publio buildings in the city. The excitement Luxemburg over the anarchist outrages has been increased by the discovery of two large bombs on a freight train from ‘Beassels, The bombs were charged with powerful explosives, and, it is believed, were intended for use in Luxemburg.
