IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION POSITIVE RELIEF oe Necessity for Entire Rebuilding of the/ Given a Prominent Missourt Bowen School. Building, School Trastees Act Promptly im the Matter—Anm Appeal to Congreas— Other Business Transacted. A regular meeting of the board of trus- tees of public schools was held at the Franklin building yesterday afternoon, at which were present Messrs. Whelpley, Barnard, Harries, Hazen, Cornish, Shadd and Wilson, and Mrs. Terrell. Mr. Barn- ard succeeded Mr. Darlington as trustee from the first district, and this was his | Charcot first appearance at a board meeting. On the recommendation of Mr. Whelpley the board granted permission to Principal Sites of the Eastern High School for the holding of an entertainment in that school, to be provided chiefly by the pupils, to raise funds to meet the necessary demands of library extension. In his appplication Mr. Sites says: “As you know, we have been denied any of the public funds in the pro- vision for the library this year, and shall | le! therefore have to provide books by the efforts of the school.” A communication to the District Com- missicrers in reference to closing the col- ored public schools on the 16th instant— Emarcipation day—was referred to the board for consideration and action. It was read by the secretary, Mr. Falck. It was explained by Trustee Cornish that last year all pupils who brought notes from their parents, requesting it, were excused from attendance on Emancipation day, with- out prejudice to their class standing. At his suggestion, it was decided to follow the same course this year, and the secretary was instructed to advise the supervising principals of the colored schools accord- ingly. A commutication was read from the com- mittee having charge of the inter-high tchool athletic meet, June 3 next, asking that the pupils of the high schools be ex- cused ut 12 o'clock on the day of the meet. It was explained that the proposition had been appr«ved by the supervising principal of the high schools, for the reason that it had been found impossible to secure the grounds fcr the meet on Saturday. The application was granted. Mrs. A. L. Barber addressed a letter to the board strongly in favor of the proposi- tion made by Mre. Terrell of having a dey set apart in the public schools in the inter- est of the humane treatment of animals. Mrs. Barber said that the inculcation of the lessons of humanity to the brute crea- tion would tend to elevate the human race and minurize crime. Trustee Hazen of the special committee having this question under consideration said that the committee would be prepared to report at the next meeting of the board. The Bowen School. Trustee Harries called. attention to the deplorable condition of the Anthony Bowen building for colored children at the corner of 9th and E streets southwest, and made an earnest plea for the board to use .its utmost endeavors to induce Congress to provide for rebutlding it. He said that the members of the committee on buildings had made a personal examination of the bullding and were unanimous in the opinion that it was unfit for the purpose a school house. It was totally devoid of ventilation, its walls had a suspicious bulge, and contained many cracks, and it was a frequent occurrence for the plastering to fall from the ceilings during school hours. It was a shame that children were com- pelled to occupy such a dilapidated build- ing. No children, he said, were in more need of better school accommodations than are those of the colored race. They needed uplifting and something better than the home life of many of them, and far as the Bowen bullding is concerned, they were not getting it. Leaving aside the question of the safety of the building, it was wnfit for the abode .of children. 't had no water and no air, and was ut- . At his suggestion, the building inspector had examined the build- ing and had reported that it was in no immediate danger of falling down. Not- withstanding this view of its probable safety, Mr. Harries said its settling walls, falling plastering and its total lack of sanitary conditions made it absolutely un- desirable as a school house. He, therefore, moved that the committee on ways and means be urged to press upon the District Commissioners and the proper committees ot Congress the great necessity for an ap- Fropriation of $32,000, as estimated by the board, for the rebuilding of the Bowen building and the purchase of a small tract ot ground adjoining for its extension to meet the school reeds. ‘Trustee Cornish indorsed all that Trus- eo Harries hed said in regard to the con- ition of the building. It was built nearly forty years ago, ard was entirely lacking in ail the conven‘ences regarded as essen- tial in modern school houses. He thought if the general government knew the actual condition of the building it would not refuse the money needed to put it in proper sh It was totally unfit for children to be and if it were not that such ‘a course would deprive 400 chil- dren of school facilities he yrould himself have assumed the resporsibillty of closing it Up. He submitted a letter from the su- Dervising principal of the District saying that the aod was In g dangerous con- ition, and that its continved occupancy was a daily memiace to the life and health of the children. The floors were too weak, he said, fe permit the usual health exer- s, an e@ stairs were so steep and lly arranged that they would prove to be & veritable death trap in the event of a panio. Mrs. Terrell elso gave personal testimony to the bad condition of the building, and expressed her conviction that there was not a trustee who would allow a child of his to remain in it. After further remarks by Trustees Wil- scn, Hazen, Barnard and Harries, the mo- tion of the latter looking to securing an appropriation of $82,000 for the bulldii was adopted, as was also 9 motion of Mr. Wilson the Commissioners be request- ed to have the building inspector examine the building, in order to guide the board in continuing the schcol or closing it, accord- ing as it shall be found safe or otherwise. Other Business. At the suggestion of Trustee Harries the secretary was irstructed to secure from the supervising principals a list of all needed repairs to school houses, for sub- mission to the committee on schools by the 1st of May, in order to enable it to make the necessary ccntracts for work for the ensuing year. Miss Sawyer and Miss Hall made appll- cation for intment as teachers cooking, and William H. Thomas appl! for the position of janitor of the sch house at the corner of 15th and C streets southeast.
