The people of the Aiken com-
munity were so well pleased with
Mr T C Foster and Miss An-
nie Anderson as principal and
assistant that they were reelect-
' ’ ed for another year Both are
splendid teachers and the board
did well in retaining them
It would be a great thing for
the educational interests of the
state if we were to pattern after
the Germans and employ our
teachers for three five or even
tefo years This changing of
achers every year is not ad
vantageous to either teachers or
communities' Our school sys-
tern will never be what it should
be until we have some wholesome
legislation along this line
The Bethel Chapel school
board knows a good teacher
when it sees one as is evidenced
by the fact that they have elec-
ted Mr Kim Hill as principal of
their school for the fifth time
Such men as Mr Hill are worth
a great deal to any town or
school district as they always
devote their entire time to the
work in which they are engaged
They concentrate their efforts
and do not scatter their for-
ces (
Mr A S Wiley supervisor of

last Wednesday and explained

assistant supervisor of schools
lii Oklahoma He assured us
that such pressure was brought
to bear upon the president that
he had withdrawn the appoint-
ment We hope that the ap-
pointment has been withdrawn
but we noticed in the Oklahoma
World' of the 15th instant that
while the negro was not to retain
his first title assistant supervi-
sor of schools "he is still to beK
appointed assistant superinten-
dent of schools in which negroes
and Indians are pupils but will
not be permanently assigned to
anystate” It is repungant to
every sane white person that an
African should be given a posi-
tion in which he would in any
way have the power to dictate
to the Indian or white man or
supervise any of the institutions
which belong to the Indian or
the white man When will our
executives learn that such ap-
pointments will never be toler-
ated by the people of the South?
Only a few years ago Roosevelt
closed the post office at Indian
ola Miss because the citizens
of that town refused to accept a
negress whom he had appointed
as postmistress and thus com-
pelled the people of that com-
munity to go to a neighboring
town six miles away for their
mail May this be the last ap-
pointment of its kind

the honor of having taught long-
er in one community than any
