Mixed Schools.

The Supreme Court Of the State OF
New York has recently decided that de.
nying the colorcd children admission
into white schools is no violation of the
Fourteenth amendment, but that the
law is fully met by providing equally
good schools separate for colored chill
dren.
The Atlanta Constitution says the de-
cisiOn is a most important one and OF
general interest. 1t is settlement by
n Northern, sectional tribunal of grave
question in right fashion, involving
especially Southern interests.
And not only this, but the decision
has II broader scope. 1t really points
the principle involved in the whole mat
ter of the social relations OF the races,
viEdicaiing the necessity of separate
churches. hotels, etc.
