EXEMPTED FROM TUITION FEES.
Decision ON Two Special Cases of
NOn-R esident Pnpils.
The Attorney for the District yest

The Attorney for the District yesterday
handed down a favorable opinion in two ap-
plications for admission. free of charge, to
the public schools of pupils whose par
ents do not live in the District. The mat
ter was called to the attention of the At
torney through the Commissioners, and he
was asked to state how far the new law
regarding the payment Of tuition fees by
non-residents is operative
The Commissioners were called upon last
year TO remedy the alleged unfair manner
in which the District school system was
used by nonresident and non-taXpaying
citizens of neighboring States. 1t was
brought out that a large number of chill
dren come to this city daily from nearby
counties in Maryland and Virginia, and the
citizens of the District objected TO hav
ing the children from adjacent localities
foisted on them for free education. The
superiority of the District school system
to that in vogue in neighboring towns and
villages was the cause of this. II was also
developed that many of the nonresident
parents had lived in the District or were,
at one time, engaged in business here, and
had begun the education Of their children
in the District schools
The Commissioners. therefore, caused a
clause to be inserted in the appropriation
bill for schools, which would do away with
this practice 1t was provided that such
pupils should pay a small tuition fee to
the District authorities. Ever since the
act went into operation last fall the Com
missioners have been receiving letters from
the parents of pupils residing in Mary
land and Virginia. claiming exemption for
one cause or another and to secure an opin-
ion on the matter the papers in two of
these cases were submitted to the Attorney
for an opinion.
The first case decided was that Of John
McGregor, whose parents live in Mary
land The boy desires to attend the
schools in the District and has been liy-
ing here ever since he entered as a pupil
His brother is employed in a Government
department and makes his home here, and
he claimed exemption on account of be
ing a resident. The Attorney decided that
irasmuch as McGregor resided here and
intended to continue 10 do so he should be
admitted free
The other case was that OF Mrs. ID. II
Rhodes, who desires to have her children
admitted free of charge Mrs. Rhodes
