W. B. Webb, Commissioner of the District: Dear dir: You are aware that you are one of the many public offi cials in the District of Columbia respected by the people, not only for your wise and judicious man- agement of the office which you now hold at the will of President Cleveland or his successor, but, for your sense of honor and enteg- rity. In addressing you this let- ter, sir, don’t understand us as attempting to dictate to you, tar from attempting such, but to call your attention to an immediate change in the head of the co'ored Superintendant of the colored schools. Indeed sir, the present incumbant is a man of high moral standing, hoaesty &c. but he lacks the ability to improve our public school system, and takes no ivter-~ est whatever in its welfare. In suggesting to you the propri- ety of au immediate change in that department of our educational Management, permit us to say that it will be equally as important to place in that position an educator ot African decent, because the people will have that much more faith in your good inteutiors to reform our cojored scbools. We would suggest for that position some man of progressive will take an interest in advancing @ woman who conforms in the main, to the discription in the the teachers in the higher branches of education, The difference | 28%, Chapter. in the bock of Pro- verbs, if she is not industrious, she may bring you and herself, to the poor-house. The old English word, “wife” originally meant, weaver, and in the loom of patient indus- try and helpful love she may weave out for you a substantial fabric of domestic happiness. It she is willing to conform to cir- cumstances she will be happy and help to make you soin the hum- blest cottage. In a still more vital sense, thou shalt be wise for thyself, if thou maketh the right choice ef a religion.
