AUGUSTA CGA3 SCHOOL CASE.
Decision of Supreme Court Adverse
To Negro Petitioners.

WASHINGTON, December BIN the
United States Supreme Court yesterday
Justice Harlan handed down an opinion
I'm the case Of a. W. Cumming and others
vs.. The Board of Education Of Richmond
county, Ca.
This case, Instituted by colored per
sons OF Richmond county, Ca. grew out
Of alleged discrimination on the part OF
the board I'm the matter Of the mainte-
nance Of high schools. This board closed
the colored high school, which had been
maintained for some time previously for
want Of funds, leaving a white high
school in existence. and the suit was in
stltuted for the purpose OF securing an
Injunction 10 prevent the collection Of
taxes for the maintenance Of the school
system generally.
In passing upon the case Justice Har-
Ian said that the education OF the young
had been RENTED TO the several States,
avi that II should be generally left 10
their control. The court had not been
able 10 discover that the Supreme Court
of Georgia had erred in refusing 10 grant
an Injunction. hence the verdict Of that
court adverse 10 the petition OF the coll
ored people was affirmed.
He referred TO the testimony at some
length. saying that It appeared that the
School Board was confronted with the
necessity OF closing the colored high
school and turning tho high school build
ing over 10 the primary grades, or or
Leaving the latter without educational IA
cilities. In view Of the fact that there
were about 800 OF the little children. as
against 90 OF those in the high school,
and that provision could be made for the
education Of the latter In private schools,
II had been decided 10 devote the build
ing 10 the use OF the primary-grade pu-
pils. The court failed 70 see that this
was q violation OF the fourteenth amend
ment 10 the Constitution. IL was also re-
marked by Justice Harlan, In the course
az his opinion. that 20 close the public
schools attended by the white children,
and thus deprive them Of educational IA
cilities. would not aid the colored chill
drcn i'm the least The evidence, he said,
indicated that the county board had act
ed In perfect gocu faith; hence. In view
of all the circumstances, the Court did
not feel called upon TO reverse the action.
