.SSt;:..H. e. Hayne called for the next special
order, which was the report of the Com

p.shat the Legislature shall require COM
pulsorT attendance ofall children between
the, ages OF 6 and 16 to attend either
private or public school for given period
: every year.
This gave rise to sharp and animated
debate, in which.it was argued by those

not want to defeat their Constitution or
to bury it beyond al nope of resurrection,

: which could never be enforced.
z. L. Gardoza denied that.i was the
object of the provision to compel white
and colored TO gather together into these
: schools. Those who opposed the section
