SCHOOL SYSTEM DUETO EX-SLAVES Bell, Franklin and Liverpool Responsible for Ad- vance. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. N THE colored educational roll | of honor in the District of | Columbia three names de- | serve to lead all the rest. Up from slavery themselves, George| Bell, Nicholas Franklin and Moses | Liverpool gave of hard-earned sub- stance in their newly acquired free- dom that the lamp of learning might | burn for their race. | Where in the annals of any people | will you find a more striking mstnncei of self-sacrifice for an idea? Frank- 1lin and Liverpool were freed men from the lower counties of Virginia who were employed as caulkers of vessels| at the navy yard. It is the impres- sion of the author that Nicholas THE Schools and Colleges Educational UNIORS at Trinity College cele- brated class day Wednesday. Various activities, climaxed by a play in the evening, were included in the all-day program. Preparations for class day were under the supervision of Ellen Shay of Bing- hamton, N. Y., president of the junior class. On a committee arranging decora- tions for the festivities were five Washington girls: Nancy Kengla, Edith Sullivan, Mary Regis, Edith De Bettencourt and Alice Dante. A leading role In the light comedy ‘Suppressed Hope” was played by Grace Colliflower of Washington, and others in the cast were Frances Mag- gione of Savannah, Ga., and Mary | Porter of Belmont, Mass. The Trinity College Student Glee Club sang at the farewell reception to Bishop Ryan, retiring head of Catholic University, as leaders of church and Nation paid tribute to Franklin bought his freedom from | pp.”poteq educator this week.

Penny ubon penny and dime upon dime she accumulated this sum from the sale of market produce which she had cul- tivated before sun-up and after sun- down. In turn when freed, George Bell released his wife from bondage for “five pounds Maryland currency.” TTogether they earned the freedom of their children. A Bell, with Franklin and Liverpool, were not content simply with physical freedom. Since in slave-holding com- munities it was a penal offense to teach a slave to read and write, al- tRough the ladies of slave households often did so by means of Bible instruc- tion, the three of them were unlettered. That they might free their own chil- dren and others similarly situated from the shackles of ignorance, they built a school where colored children might be taught. Build Small School. Pooling their meager resources and their time after their tasks for the day were done, they erected “a fair little one-story frame structure upon the present site of the Providence Hos- pital,” employing as a teacher of the three R's a white man by the name of Lowe. The year was 1807, just two years after the first school for white | children had been opened in the Dis- | trict of Columbia. Out of a total| population of 1,498 colored persons | there were 494 who were in possession | of their freedom papers. The pupils who flocked to this school were lhe‘ children of this group. Other individ- uals speedily followed this breath-tak- | ing innovation. The school of the | Widow Billings, opened in Georgetown | in 1810, was well known. Mrs. Billings was a white woman who had come to Georgetown with her husband. a | cabinet maker, from England in 1800. | By means of the school, which she | conducted in her home and which was first attended by both white and col- ored pupils, Mrs. Billings supported herself and her orphaned family. So dramatization of the novel by P. G. Wodehouse, will be given by the Tech Dramatic Club in the school | auditorium, Second and T streets, northeast, November 22 and 23 at 8 o'clock. George Hayes, well known star of form e~ Tech productions, has the role of P.ith and heads the cast of play- ers, made up of Mary Ann Frazier, Regina Adams, Judith Greenwood, chased for him by his aunt, Alathea Tanner, became an assistant messenger in the Land Office, studied for the ministry, was ordained and became. | the principal of this school in 1834. | An educational and spiritual leader | of wise influence among his race, he | taught here uninterruptedly until his | death in 1885, except for the interim | of one year—1835—when the school was closed on account of the “Snow riot.” This disturbance was said to have been an offshoot of the Turner insurrection in Virginia, as an after- | math of which practically all State | and church efforts toward educating | the colored race in the South were temporarily halted. To his sons he | apparently bequeathed the mantle of his educational leadership. An older one, John F. Cook, presided over the destinies of this school until 1857. A younger, George F. T. Cook, moved it from the old Smothers’ house to the basement of a colored Presbyterian | church. During the perilous Civil War days it existed as best it could, and in 1862 was moved into a new | school house on Sixteenth street, where it continued until 1867, when its con- | tinuance was no longer necessary be- cause of the functioning of the public | school system. It would truly seem as if there had been an educational laying on of hands | in this family, for George F. T. Cook | | became colored superintendent of the Events of Interesting Student and Faculty Activities in Washington’s Leading Institutions.

Here, let it be said, that the colored and white public schools were under separate boards til 1874, when the trustees for Washington, Georgetown, the county and the colored schools were merged into one group with two co-ordinate superintendents, one for the white schools and another for the colored.

A tea dance will be sponsored by the sophomore class at Catholic Uni- versity on Saturday afternoon, No- vember 23, in the foyer of the Mullen Memorial Library on the campus. Preparations for this dance, which is the first sophomore social function of the year, are being made by Wil- liam J. Murphy of Bristol, Conn., who is chairman of the committee in charge. Other members of the com- mittee are John J. Keegan, Richard | K. O'Loughlin, John P. Walsh and Eugene C. Draley, all of this city, and Henry P. Meyer and Edward J.

AS A part of American Education week, Wilson Teachers College sponsored two convocations on Mon- day and Wednesday. The first was a panel with the former Senator from Iowa, Smith W. Brookhart, as prin- cipal speaker. He spoke on world peace, dealing chiefly with the effects of the last war on the world. Mem- bers of the panel carried on discus- siog. In the second assembly the sub- ject, “Youth, War and the Peace Move- ment,” was developed by Thomas H. Healey, dean of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University. Dean Healey presented a five-point peace program which he said would safeguard America from war. Alumni Honored. FORTY alumni of Southeastern Uni- versity who passed recent bar and C. P.

Theirs was the vision which an- ticipated the free public school system for colored pupils, inaugurated after the abolition of slavery, nearly 50 years later. It was this school, too, which saw that the torch kindled by George Bell, Nicholas Franklin and Moses Liverpool in their first school for the colored race, was kept burning.
