Id Saturday's paper you Bay,
hear it talked that some
members of the board of school
trustees are in favor of erecting a
wooden building for the graded
school. The believes
it would be a serious mistake to
have such a building built of
wood if the trustees have such
in contemplation we hope they
will change their plans and put
up a brick house
The above extract is from
day's and it reads
like you thought the trustees had
determined on a wood building as
a matter of choice and not from
a matter of necessity. Such is
not the case. I do not think
there is a on the board who
would not prefer a brick building.
The situation this- We
are trustees of a sacred public
trust, we are charged with certain
public duties. The sum of
has been placed in our hands
with ch to meet and discharge
the duty of erecting and equip-
ping the necessary buildings for
the graded schools for the two
races.
Of this sum we must set apart at
least for and
the buildings for the
whites, and this is whether it
be of wood or brick.
We mutt also set apart at least
for the furniture and other
equipments for the white school
building.
We must also set a part at least
for the and re-
pairs to the colored school build
This leaves us but to

Out of this we must pay the
charges of the architect, the com-
missions of the treasurer,
which will leave us about
for the building.
We must put up a building of
sufficient dimension and capacity
to accommodate the white child-
of the graded school district.
It will do to put up one of
capacity to accommodate a
part of the children in order to get
a brick building. We have gone
far enough in our investigations to
know we can put up such a build
out of wood with the we
have in hand and that we cannot
put it up of brick. The architect

building costs about one

It transpires that Washington
has received an invitation front
Lord Gray, of the British house of
lords, and connected with the
great South African company, to
go to South Africa make a
study of conditions English
especially as they relate fee
the African race. The
teacher came to consult the pres-
as to the proper course
regarding the proposition. Pres-
Roosevelt would not listen
to Booker's even thinking of
accepting the invitation, telling
him that bis time and talents
were too valuable for the education
of the colored race in tins country
for him to this country for
length of time which the
contemplates.
When asked about the offer
today Washington admitted that
he had received a proposition from
Lord Gray and W. T. Stead, the
famous English publicist, to go to
South Africa and make a
of his views and observations, first
to the South African company and
second to the English government.
Washington has assured the
