As announced in The Evening Star yes- terday, the committee on normal and high schools of the board of school trustees met at the office of Mr. Wilson, the chairman of the committee, to consider the affairs of the Eastern High School and the manner of their management and direction by Prof. C. M. Lacey Sites, the principal of the in- stitution. Besides the chairman there were present President J. W. Whelpley, Mr. Job Barnard, Mr. B. K. Bruce and Major Geo. W. Harries. The meeting was held for the purpose of allowing Professor Sites to show, if possible, why he should not be re- moved from the position of principal of the Eastern High School. Professor Sites made a detailed statement of the policy he had pursued in the conduct of the school, but to the members of the committee, it is un- derstood, he did not sufficiently explain why there had been so much friction be- tween the parents of the pupils, as well as many of the latter, and himself. The committee will meet again this after- noon, previous to the regular meeting of the board of school trustees, which con- \enes at the Franklin school building at :30 o'clock, and there is reason to believe that it will not retire from the stand it has elready taken, and that it will recommend to the board the employment of a new rrincipal at the Eastern High School, in place of Prof. C. M. L. Sites. | Sascha ‘TS OF THE SAENGERBUND. GUE National Legisintors Entertained by the Fan Society.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta: I see by the morning pape that . Gouldman, who was knocked down by a bicycle rider, 1s dead. This is the second murder now within a short time by reckless bicycle riders, both victims being old people, and in both the riders escaped without recognition. No one but a cowardly brute would ride off under such circumstances, without stop- ping to ascertain the result, but unfor- tunately, as these cases prove, we have quite a number such in our midst. The fact that they are outside of the bi- cycle clubs, and that the members of the latter ride with scrupulous care, makes no rence; human life must be protected, these wretches punished, even though itute but a small minority of the It is perfectly feasible to do this, by a police regulation requiring all riders to take a license and requiring every bicycle to have attached to tt a number of such size and in such position that it can always be seen, as is doue in some cities abroad. I would not require any more fee than 1s necessary to pay the expense of keep! the record, as it is not enue, but me: tion tha: is wanted. Of course, there should be such penalty both for omt sion and to prevent transfer of the number to any other party, as will secure a strict compilance with the regulation. By this simple means an end would soon be put to the reckless riding, and, in my opinion, if the Commissioners neglect to adopt this or some equally efficient means for preventing these outrages, they will be as guilty as the riders who continue to knock down and kill people. I am a friend of the bicycle, and all the members of my family use them, but I want this maiming and killing of people stopped. There 1s no excuse for it, and every decent rider should be glad to ‘have any means adopted that will effect that object. CITE —— Silver Swept Georgia.
