THE COLOR LINE IN THE SCHOOLS.
IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
CoLoRED CHILDREN MUST GO TO CoLoRED
SCHOOLS

IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
CoIoRED CHILDREN MUST GO TO coLoRED
SCHOOLS.
Judge Gilbert, of the Supreme Court. Kings county,
yesterday rendered an important decision upon the
question the right of colorcd citizen to compel
the principal of public school to receive coored
child pupil where the other children in Attendance
were white The Board Of Education Of Brooklyn has
provided schools specially for black boys and girls but
the rclator William +. Johnson, sought to have his
son admitted to the public school in his district
which happened TO be white school The folowing is
an abstract of tho Judges dccision:-
There are schools specially provided for the use OF col
ored pupils hut the relao in the present action contend
cd that he had right select such schools as he m
the regulations of the Board OF Education to the
trary Notwithstanding The Court in rendering the de-
cison holds that common schools public charity
Tho benefits conferred by them free gift from the
State; consequently, the state, like every other donor
may prescribe in what and upon what term and
conditions the gift may be enjoyed The benenciarics
acquire legal rights In the thing given. except
such as the State has bestowed By means of
its legislative acts. Notwithstanding the Gift, 1t Is
maintained in part by funds annually raised by
taxation. Participation in the privileges and benefits
Of common schools forms part OF that body Of pot
cal and civil rights which protected and secured by
the fundamental law Section /, of article IA OF tho
constitution OF the United States commonly called the
fourteenth amendment. therefore has application
the Neither the constitution nor the Bill of
Rights OF this State contains any provision relating
this subject The question turns wholly upon the
effects Of acts Of the Legislature. Prior to the Civil
Rights act OF 1873 the Board of Education Of Brooklyn
was by an passed by the Legislature April 1850
gwen entire charge and direction OF all
public schools. The Board has never, by any
subsequent amendment been prescribed in its author
ity in tins respect In conclusion, the Court holds that
the statute by guaranteeing equal privileges, docs OF
confer the right 10 ENJOY them in common with any
class OF persons in any particular school Nothing
has been shown from which IL can be inferred that the
rcator has been deprived of that equality Of privilege
TO which he is entitled He has put himself upon the
claim OF an absolute right to have his admitted into
the public school of the district in which he resides
In my opinion such claim cannot be sustained in
The motion for mandamus must therefore be denied
but without costs
