TILE coLoRED SCHOOL.
| The Secretary read 4 communication from
the City Clerk, setting forth that the Com

| Boa1d Of Education to hire suitable build.
| Ing or rooms in the South Division, and en-.
| p'oy teachers, fur the education Of the colored
| children in the city.
Mr. Wentworth moved that the subject be
laid over 1ill the next regular meeting. This
| nation elected considerable discussion. Mr.
| Taft was dcsirons Of having the matter dis
| posed Of at once. aIr. Holden also expressed
| s11niar desire, and thought it doubtful whe-
| ther there would be as many members of the
| Board present at tile next regular meeting as
| were then convened. Mr.. Ryder was in favor
| on Buildings and Grounds, to report at the
next meeting Mr.. Wentworth here raised
| the question Of the unconstftutionality of the
measure proposed by the Common Council,
and read to the Board that portion Of the
| "B1ack Laws" OF Illinois which prohibits
colored persons from becoming residents Of
the State. He thought that if it Was uncon-
| stitutionnl for colored people to srtt1e in tue
| State, it would be equally so for the Board to
establish. schools for their education. Mr.
RI der thought the Board had nothing to do
| with the constitutionality Of the question; :;
they were a1nenablc to the Common Council,
| and not to the Illinois Legislature. The
| Council had instructed the Board Of Educa-
lion to do certain act. and If that act was
Unconstitutional, the Council must bear the
responsibility. It was not the business Of the
B. ard TO spend time in trying to settle the
coEstitutionality Of the measure
After some further discussion during which
| Mr. Wentworth exhibited an astonishing
amount oflegal lorc, and quoted coplously from
the Revised Statute, the vote was taken on
his motion to lay the question over, with the
| following result:
| YEAs-Meesrs. Carpenter, Haven, Wahl, Went
| worth-i.
! NArs-Messra. Foster Holden, Ncwbcr1y, Ry.
| der, Taft-5.
| The motion was lost.
!! ferred to the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds, without the power to act, but with
| Instructions to report at the next regular
meeting Of the Board. The motion was car.
1icd without opposition.
On motion, the Board then adjourned.
