April 11. J. Van Vechten Olcott of Ktw Tork In his speech on behalf of colored schools in the District of rtiiumbla, declared that within the hit ten years the colored schools have leen unfairly treated; that there Is no provision made ior me proper attention and care of the colored children in Waghlngton, and that equal privileges diould be accorded all school children irrespective of color. Mr. Olcott spoke.

In part, as follows: Mr. Chairman It is a matter of mat regret for me to state that in ST opinion Congress has been parsimonious in making appropriations for welfare and education of school ihtldren In the city of Washington. "I SJU Well OWHIT, lliav ib uwnu hT the IJlBiriCl V.UIU1UU1 V.UIIU1111- United States, for little is ever Mbllcly said of what Is being accomplished by that committee and the bills that affect Its interests, but I do not believe that there Is any member of fnneress from any constituency. whether in a great city or whether in the country, who can fail to be inter- Mted in the welfare or tne cnuaren that are growing up nere, arm i iwucm that It is time for some expression to h. Hvpn to the fact that In this, the (apital of the nation, less care and attention is given and less money appropriated by Congress, which is the only body Invested with authority to care for local wants, than would be given by the smallest town represented here.

The fact that the population is divided, two-thirds being white and one-third colored, has been recognized in the appointment of the members of the Board of Education. For some time it has been deemed proper for the Board of Education, consisting of nine members, to be represented by six white uid three colored citizens because of this division in tne population oi me dtv. "The census of 1900 shows: Total population of Washington, D. total Negro population, per ctnt Negro, 31. The population or tne uistrict oi Pnlnmhla in 1900 was 278.718, as against a population In 1890 of 230,392.

On the basis of this increase the population of the District of Columbia In December, 1909, must be approximately 325,000, of which about 100,000 Is Negro, or 32.6 per cent "The total population of school age (5 to 20 years. Inclusive), according to the United States census of 1900. Is as follows: Total, 77.291; Negro. Negro per cent of total, 34. "In 1900 there were persons om to 17 years of age, inclusive.

In --District of Columbia, of whom were Negro. On a similar basis probably are at the present time Jit 65.000 of these persons, of whom tut 21,000, or 31 per cent, are Negro. fit is entirely unnecessary to argue kt the principle of the American -hool system is that the State shall JTer exactly the same educational op portunities to all children, and there should be no departure irom tnis ruie la the city of Washington. Nothing has ever been so insistently demanded by the people as that equal privilege ihould be accorded to all children, irrespective of their position in life or their race, color, or religion, to sug-rest for an instant that colored chil dren should not receive equal facilities with the white children would be to start a doctrine repulsive to the best thinking people of the entire united 8tates, both North and South. "During the close of the Sixtieth Congress, and on March 2, 1909, called attention in a speech to what appeared to me to be an oversight.

In the appropriation bill for the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, there was carried an ag gregate appropriation or isot.uuu ior the schools In the District, but It is ap palling to consider that of this amount only $35,000 was appropriated for tne colored schools; in other words, about per cent of the entire appropriation. The appropriations were made in such way that It was Impossible to note fort which schools receiving money for new buildings or new grounds were for colored children and which were for white children, and, consequently, the condition above referred to was never brought to my attention until after the appropriation bill was in conference, nen it was Impossible to rectify this unquestioned evil. "At the opening of this session, when present bill was under consideration before the committee on appropri-tons, I found from the book of estimates for the fiscal year ending June 1911, that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia had asked for appropriations for school buildings and rounds for colored children an amount ly 14 per cent of the aggregate estimate for the entire city schools. "This seemed to be Incomprehensible to me, and for that reason I made a thorough investigation and found that the fault rested with the commission-and not with the Board of Education. "As a matter of fact, the Board of Education asked the commissioner to o.uest Congress to appropriate about Per cent of the aggregate amount ot the appropriation, and for some rea-pn that does not appear in any record "at i have been able to see, the commissioners reduced the estimate from Pr cent to the 14 per cent applied Jw by the Commissioners of the Dis-TOt to the committee on approprla-wn.

It then seemed to me that the reason for such action on the part the commissioners might be that Wrings for the colored children had "en liberally treated In previous appropriations, and that therefore they jw in much better condition than the pl which are attended by white rNdfen, but upon pursuing the ques- further, it was easily ascertain-that this was not the fact As a Jtter of fact the statement which I about to read, and which shows the wropriations for public schools for "ast ten years, proves my conten-S" that the colored schools during tate'LUre perlod nave been me mention one or two exam- in regard to the condition of some tha K. 11,11 The present school house known as Fort Slocum School contains only one room. There are 2 teachers and 65 DUDllS. and I find that many children who 11 vb in or near Takoma, and who now attend tne Military Road School, would attend the Fort Slocum School were there proper accommodations for them. This school is nothing but wooden shack, and I believe that i uy- body who looked at it would believe that It would be a disgrace to any town In the United States.

As a matter of fact I feel confident that-many chll dren would attend this school, provided facilities were who now have to spend 10 cents a day five days week for car fare in order to go to some scnooi wnere tney can be accom modated, and the same condition of nf fairs obtains in many other sections of tne city. 'Take the group of buildings com prising the Street High School, the Abby Simmons School, and the Dojg-lass School, bounded by First street on the east and street on the north, Pierce Btreet on the south and New Jersey avenue on the west, approximately 32,000 square feet This group of colored schools Is practically with out playgrounds, thereby preventing tne extension of any or these buildings. These schools are in such wretched condition that an appropriation was made in, this bill for a central heating plant for the three buildings In order to save the expense of making exten alve and necessary repairs. Instances of this character could be multiplied to show that there Is no proper provision made for the proper attention and care of the colored children in the city of Washington. "As a result of this investigation, made In the short time that it was pos sible for me to devote to it, I took the matter up with the sub-committee of the Committee on appropriations, Messrs.

Gardner of Michigan, Taylor of Ohio, Snapp of Illinois, Burleson of Texas, and Bowers of Mississippi, with the result that they have recommend ed that material changes be made in the appropriations Instead of the figures set forth in the estimate of the commissioners, which recommendations have been agreed to by the full committee, and it Is a great gratification to me to realise that upon calling the attention of the sub-committee to the unfairness of the estimate, and after a proper Investigation made by them, they entirely agreed with me that the distribution of the amount appropriated for all schools and buildings In the city of Washington should be changed, and in a manner fair to all. "I am glad to see that one or tne Items Included In this bill Is an ap propriation of $40,000 for the construction of a manual training school build ing on the grounds of the Cardozo School. This will provide proper ac commodations for the Industrial classes in that section of the city. "As I pointed out in my speech made in the lust session on Mils subject the colored elementary sc have not one adequately equippe manual training center. In spite of i'ie great need for hand as well as h- ad training.

I may say, further, that there is now no provision whatever foi industrial training of the colored children, and such manual training as Is offered Is of little value, because of the lack of proper shops, kitchens and other fundamental equipment Personally I think the policy of the Board of Education and of Congress should be to encourage ele mentary Industrial as wen as elementary manual training. No element of Washington's population, both for its own interests ana ror tne weuare oi the community, stands in greater need of training for economic Independence than the colored people, certainly there should be no objection to a manual training center. This aoDrooriatlon will materially benefit the many children In need of manual training. It Is a fact in the colored scnoois (1) that in the elementary grades classes above the second grade are now being taught upon a half -day basis in unavoidable violation of the law, because there are neither permanent nor portable 'buildings enough to accom modate these children; (2) that the colored elementary schools have not one adequately equipped manual train lng center, in spite of the great need for band as well as head training; (3) that the Armstrong Manual Training School a high school and the Street High School are very greatly overcrowded, to the great injury of their Instruction and training, and thai this congestion grows worse each year; (4) that the normal school, which trains all the teachers in the colored elementary schools, and consequently all the teachers of the vast majority of the colored children of Washington, is at present Improperly housed in parts of two elementary school buildings, to the grave embarrassment of Its Impor tant work; (5) that some of the school houses are unfit for use for example, the dilapidated wooden structures at Fort Slocum, Military Road, Chain Bridge Road, Ivy City, Bennlng Road and the Blrney Annex. 'Although, as expressed by Tne a few minutes ago, I do not believe that the appropriations for new schools and grounds are nearly as much as they should be in this, the capital of the Union, It must be a source of congratulation that the Committee on Appropriations have shown their desire to give equal rights to poor children in the city, without any regard to their color.

"In the city of New York, of which I know more than I do of any other city in the United States, the question of public schools and their needs Is determined solely upon the population in its different portions, and I know that the Board of Education in that city and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in providing for the school budget are not guided by any consideration whatever, except the question of congestion of population, and I am confident that they appropriate money for new schools where the are most needed, in a manner which Is as liberal as the budget can possibly allow. "Ever since it has been my honor to serve In congress I h.ive constantly felt that the laws of the District of Columbia should be laws, to be followed by all the States of the Union, and It does seem to me that It is time for us to insist that in this, the most important appropriation in the Dis trict of Columbia bill, we should make the schools model schools for all the world to follow and the cities In this country to envy. I believe it Is a fact that the more money that Is appropriated for the proper care, maintenance, culture and education of the children, the less money the community will have to spend on prisons and almshouses." v.
