BRooKLANp, June II, 1872


To Dr.. John N. PoVeA, Superintendent OF
Public Schools for Henrtco County:
This communication is addressed to you
with the hope that you will enlightcn the
public upon subject about which they are
beginning to feel some concern. As cili.
zen and taxpayer Of "Brookland school
district" together with many other parents
equally interested in the free school system,
I desire. to call your attention to the manage
ment of school matters in this portion Of the
county, which is not understood, and is be-
coming subject of complaint. and justly SO,
without some satisfactory explanation can he
offered.
If ] understand the free-school system,
it is to afford facilities for instruction
alike to white children as we'll as to
black. In the vicinity of Town Hall there
has been erected school-house for the
blacks of superior structure, furnished with
necessary modern improvements, equipped
in the most approved style, provided with Il
teacher, and in full operation, while none for
the whites has been built, leaving large
portion Of the school district, containing GER
tainly over u hundred white children, un-
provided for. Now, why is thisr You
called upon the voters OF this township at
the last fall election to vote an appropriation
for schools. They were told that it was for
the purpose of building school-houses, &C.
They responded by voting you the amount
asked tor, hoping to reap the fruits OF their
liberality. Months have elapsed, and what
is the result-a school-house for the negro
children, and none for the children OF the
white taxpayer. A meeting OF the citizens
of this neighborhood. was called scve-
raj months since to confer with you
and the Board of Trustees In re-
gard to the erection of q school.
house for the white children. At this
meeting the subject was discussed plans
suggested, &c. An impression was created
that house was about to be built. Thus
fur no steps have been taken in TINT direc-
lion that we are aware of. / do not know
that yoii and the School Board consider that
you are responsible to the people. for your
management, yet, in justice to yourselves as
well as the white taxpayers, it behooves yos
to explain. It certainly cannot be for want
of funds, as there has been but one house
;b11ilt. Since esffee-school system was put
in operation about two years ago. there
have been upwards Of S22,200 voted toit in
this township. No doubt there are .''sood
and sufficient reasons for this delay, but as
the people are becoming rather restless and
dissatisfied, It Is to be hoped you will inform
them upon the subject. j..
Yours, respectfully,
90. EQUAL RtGHTs.

CONDITION OF GILEs.-Tillman Giles, who
was so badly injured by William Reid at

stabblng Nike Field i'll the face, was arraign-
ed before Justice Chilcs, and it having been
proven that the stabbing was committed
Mt moment of great excitement, and the in
jured party declining to prosecute, the case
was dismissed. Both of these parties enjoy
a good reputation rs faithful and industrious
workmen, and the difficulty between them is
very generally regretted.

ton of the Town Trustees to appropriate a
