Jhe ucSlSlOn OF Judge townsend, as 10
the payment of county money to the graded
schools, which charge an extra tuition fee,
is we think, good law, though an unfortun-
ate condition of affairs.
The case has been appealed to the Supreme
Court, but Judge Townsend will undoubt
edly be sustained by that court. All graded
schools charging fee. will be in the same
category rs Florence. The only way TO do
will be to open the school free, and run il
so until the c,uniy money Is exhausted,
then fall back on the tuition fec and what is
raised by the city taxation. The conStitu-
ton declares the fund raised ny general
taxation shall be for free schools, and it is
probably we'll that this question will now
be passed upon.-Fioyemcc Times.
THE Rctorm -idrocdc (Florcuce) has the
following to s,y about Judge Townsends
decision
Judge Townsend rendered dec sion.
which, if sustained 10y the Supreme Cout,
and We opine that it will, far reaching in its
effect. lie dec DIES that graded school,
that by its charter is allowed TO charge n
tuition fee, is not free school, and not en-
titled to the constitutional two mills tax. Ii
has become the habit in towns to cnde8vor
TO build up select schools, and under guiSe
Of legislative authority, take from the poorer
class the tax given to educate their children
and bcstow it upon those more fortunate in
worldly 20 ds, building up schools with
higher educational facilities than is con
emplated by the school laws. The rights
of the poor have been disregarded and
trampled upon, and this decision will show
10 those who are so select that they shirk
from contamination with the poorer class,
that they must maintain their schools with
,ho a. l,,ft bn ,rannrnl In Splr,t
crowd can monopolize it. "
