ITO county superintendent and public
schools directors throughout the State OF
Tennessee The civil rights bill pending
I 6efUre the. United States Congress, 1n-istgss
| provisions concerning public schools, is in
under which the public school system of
the State is organized, and by which its
officers are governed. 1t is, furthermore,
in conflict with the twelfth az section of
article Ieleyeai 1t1 c.6f thel Constitution,
which provides Hat no school established
or aided under this section shall allow white
and negro children to be received as
scholars together in the same school,
so that what the bill commands, our State
stirtion ana Pu hliti sche aaE forbids.
The bill has already passed the Senate and
all indications point to its passage by the
House of Representatives. In view of the
fact that in many of the counties schools
now closed are expected to be reopened for
the summer season in the month of June,
1 and inasmueh as it is desirable to avoid, as
far as possibl e the mbarrassments that VII
necessarily follow the enactment of the
lciVil rights bal, deem tia part of prudence
to sugge that for the present and until
1 further advised, no new scontracts. with
teachers for either white or black schools
be entered into, BY school directors. By
sobseR ViBghis suggestion much complication
and unnecessary expense may be avoided.
Should the civil rights bill fail to pass, then
no serious harm can have resulted from this
admonition. Should it become law in its
] present sshape, then further Instructions
| from this office will become necessary. and
will be promptly given. Respectfully, q
