boy was regularly pupil for some months, and
nothing was said of it until he was transferred
to Miss Newhall's room, when she sent him
home with a note, informing his mother that he
would not be permitted to remain longer in the
school. The mother, who is light mulatto,
inquired the reason, and Miss N. laid the mat
ter before the District Trustees, who told her
that she must receive the boy and she persisted
in refusing to do So"
The Gazette of Tuesday states the matter was
laid before the School Board subsequently, and
that Miss Newhall, after an exciteing debate,
was sustained in the course she had pursued.
The boy, who called himself quadroon, was ex-
PEELED from the schools, the Board deeming that
colored schools were provided for those tinged
with negro blood.
