Colored CAildrsn in school.

The st. Louis Republican says the
question ~ to how far the Fourteenth
amendment affects the status Of solorsd
persons under existing school laws has
been adjudicated recently in two North
ern States In both, the courts held sub.
stantally that the common school su-
thoritiss had the right to devise rulss for
the classification and government Of the
schools; that the citizen cannot distale
where his children shall be instructed, On
what teacher shall perform that sffiss;
that equality Of rights does not make the
necessity Of educating white and colored
persons in the same school, any moro
than II does that Of educating shildssa
Of both sexes in the same school. Any
classification which preserves substan-
TALLY equal school advantages, is not pro-
hibited by either the State or Federal
constitution. In opinion delivered last
week in the Supreme Court at Albany,
N. Y, Learned, j.. said
1t is urged, however, on the part Of
the rolator, that this regulation Of the
board Is in violation Of the Fourteenth
amendment Of the constitution OF the
United States. This prohibits the state
from making or enforcing any law which
shall abridgs the privileges and immun-
ties OF citizens Of the United States.
There 10 some reason for believing that
the privileges and immuntiss there 70
ferred to are those only which arise un-
der the constitution OF the United States,
and not those which arise under State
laws But passing over this point. and
even assuming that this rule Of tho board
10 to be included in the words " any law"
what privilege of citizen 10 abridged
thereby Certainly none, unless every
citizen has the privilege of choosing TO
which school, in q city, he will send his
children. The relator has equal common
school advantages with other citizens.
He does not assert that the school which
is open to him 10 not As good''as the one
which 10 closed. He dses not pretend
that there is anything in its position, its
pupils, or its teachers, which makes the
limitation Of his children 10 that school
advantages II the school which 10 open
to his children were materially objeo-
tionable, or II 1t were an improper school
for them to attend, very different quss.

and we herewith publish sort OF gas
catschism, which conveys a good deal OF
important eight to tho juvenile mind
on this subject:
"Hew do they make gasY"
First, they put about two bushels OF
btuminous coal in long airtixh xht retert.
This rotort is heated rod-hot when the
gas rushss out Of it. as you see 1t burst
out Of Jumps of solid coal when on the
psrlor FIRE. The gas passes of through
pipes. A ton Of coal will make 10000
cubic feet Of gas. The gass, ~ it leaves
the coal, is very impure. F"
"How do they purify III
First, while hot. it 10 run of iRto an
other building, then il 10 forced through
long, perpendicular pipes, surrounded
with cold water. This cools the gas,
when a good deal Of tar oondenses from
il and runs down to the bottom Of the
perpendicular steam boiler, half full OF
wood laid cross. wise Then ten thous.
and streams OF cold water are spurtsd
through the boiler Through the mist
and rain and between the wet sticks ol
wood the gas passes, coming out wash
cd and clesnsed. The ammonia conden
ses, joins the water, and fall to the bot
tom
"What nsxtf
"Well, mex, the gas is purified. 1t II

ids OF irsn, which take out the carboni'
acid and ammonia
What next"
"Tho gas is now pure. 1t passes
through the big station meter, then thre
the mains asd pipes. till it reaches th'
gas jets in your rooms. Then 1t burns
while you scold because it dsn't burn
