A PENALTY NEEDED

Our attention has been directed 10y
persons familiar with the working of
the present school law, to n deficiency
in n Of its provisions which should
be corrected by the present Legisla-
iure. The present school Law wisely
prohibits the use of all books, tracts,
or papers OF a sectarian or dcnomina-
tional character. \ penalty is pro-
yided for n violation of this require
ment, involving the loss of the public
school funds. Immediately after this
prohibition follows the section tSec. 90
denying the admission of negroes,
Mongolians and Indians into the pub
lie schools, but providing for a sepa-
rate school for them at the option of
Trustees. IL is remarkable that no
penalty il provided for n violation of
this section; and in some school dis
tricts the Trustees have taken advan-
tage of this by forcing children OF
these classes into the schools no:with-
standing the prohibition. The prohibit
ton amounts to nothing unless backed
up, as other clauses, and all statutes
are, by a penalty. At Reno it is said
colored children have been KEEP,
Mt the school Notwithstanding the re-
monstance of a portion of the parents
of white children. \ number of thes,
white children have been withdraw
from school, and some of them sent t.
California to complete their education
for the eason that their parents re
fused to allow them to associate witt
the colored children. This matte
ought To he remcdied At once. Tn
same penalty should attach TO a viola
ton of this section rs that of the pre-
ceding. Either abolish the law er
tirely, or enforce Il.
