The United States supreme court
heard argument last week in case in>
volvihg the right of the board of edu-
cation of Richmond county, Georgia,
to establish high school for whites in
Augusta without also establishing a
high school for negro children.
The case was based upon the petition
of number of negroes of the county
who asked that an order be issued
either compelling the board to give
their children the advantages of a
public high school or compel the board
to refrain from carrying on white
high schools, for the support of which
the petitioners are taxed. The case
involves the construction of the feder-
al constitution, and has attracted con-
siderable attention..
Former United States Senator Eds
