FOUI PLAY.


y ditOrS mon and American.
III am correctly informed, the law esiab-
fishing and governing the public schools Of
Nashville, requires the parents or legal
guardians Of all puPilsto reside within the
city limits. There are numbers Of chill
dren, white and black, now attending the
public schools; that are not entitled TO adj
missiontnder the law. Some Of them live
beyond the city bounds and come in daily,
some are quartered in the city with rela-
lives, or pretended relatives, and some,
whose parents live in the country are fur
nishcd apartments here, solely to have the
advantage Of our schools. These ate facts
within my own knowledge.
This is a gross imposition, and gish
through your columns, to call upon the
Board Of Education, the Superintendent
and Teachers OF the city schools, for rigid
SCRUTINY Of the subject in order that the
schools may be purged of those unlawfully

piece, where the watch was procured.
