WHY FORBID CHILDREN FROM OCCUPYING THEM2
To The Editor OF the Commercial:
The recent action of the Board of Education
on rejecting your reasonable resolution and
adopting one absolutely prohibiting all children
whose parents reside outside the city limits,
from attending any school under the control OF
the Board induces me to present the following
question for consideration Is it just to COM
pei person to pay taxes for the support of
schools and deny him the privileges of them
reside in what is left of the old nineteenth
school district. The city in extending its limits
took our school house and . large portion of the
district from us, leaving us wirhout the means
of education.
limits, and pay five or ten times as much for the
support of its schools as hundreds who get their
children educated in them.
Under these circumstances / hope it will not
be deemed impertinent, to submit the above
question for the special attention of those MEM
bers of the Board, who voted for the prohibi-
tory resolution. They may contend that they
acted according to law. That is questionable
but whether or not, rigid sticklers for law never
gain credit by the enforcement of unjust laws
Very respectfully,
ALEXANDER BOYD.
[From the wilmington Advertiser, July qb.l
The Board of Education by vote of 10 to 8
refused to extend the blessings of education to
the children lvir 6 in adjoining districts to the
city. Nothing could be fairer than the PROPOSE
tion to charge the child of non resident and
untaxed parent sum equivalent to the average
cost Of educating each scholar, and upon such
terms admit children from the country, when
vacancies exist. The enlightened twelve were
envious of the argosies Of knowledge they guard
and resolved not to permit, any youth athirst
for knowledge, and ready to pay for the precious
draught to drink IL in, because he lived beyond a
certain limit. o ye twelve may the good Lord
send you a better way or thinking Are ye not,
