PERMITS FOR SCHOOLS

DISCUSSES LAW CALLING roR
PERMITS TO ESTABLISH
PRIVATE SCHOOLS

Following the regular routine busi.
ucss vi the Board ut Public mstruc.
lion yesterday an interesting discus.
Ion arose on the law regarding the
supervision Ut private schools by the
Board.
Mrs. Dowsett brought ~ the matter
~ asking what the proper position
Tor the Board should be-. The ques
lion had come up NJ u meeting some
weeks ago and since that time she
Lad been making enquiries I, appear
I'd Ia her that the fact OF the Board
having neglected to require permits
Tor private schools was no excuse foi
further inattontion to the matter. She
thought Il entirely probable that the
Legislature would call the Board "a
account, and In case II did or didn't
what could the Board say II had done
more than not enforce the require
ments of the law?
The question Is q yeXed one becaus.
the law ~ not particularly clear ol
under present conditions fully practi
cal The law reads as follows:
Sec. 200. Any person desiring
To establish private school shall
make AN application In writing Ia
that effect Ia the school agent OF
the district In which II Is desired
to establish such school. which ap.
plication shall be accompanied by
memorial from the parents or
guardians Of the children intend.
ing TO attend such school. stating
that the applicant Ii the person Of
their choice for a teacher of their
children. II the applicant pos
sesscs the necessary qualifications
to become teacher Of the school
proposed. the department shall H.
sue permit authorizing the es.
tablishment Of such school
Sec. 2lO. Every private school
shall he subject tO the supervision
Of the department. II shall be the
duty Of the department Ia require
that teachers Of private schools be
persons OF good moral character:
and that the premises Of such
schools comply with the rules and
regulations of the department. as
from time to time promulgated
with regard to sanitary conditions
and hygiene.

Dowsett. ito require permit In one
case and let It 20 In another, II
schools are existing without permits,
why not have the applications made,
the permits granted AMI placed on file
US a matter of form, If nothing morc?"
Mrs. Dowsett had no particular
schools In mind, either Japanese, Ger
man, Portuguese or English. Her sole
point was that the law required Ger.
tain things to be done. Failure Of pre-
vIous Boards To fulfil that law IL not
good excuse for the present mem
bers.
All phases of the question were pref.
ty thoroughly discussed and IL was
agreed that the Superintendent should
obtain ruling on the law from the
Attorney Generals Department.

In the course of the discussion the
private japanese schools were brought
up. 1t was generally agreed that as
these schools are held after the reg

Iren attend the public schools there
could certainly be no cause for com

for those opening such schools to ap

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1907-08-15
For Better Rates.


A Special TO the Times Democrat
says;
Washington, July 80. Lehman
Cohn, of the firm of Cohn Bros,
Lorman. Jefferson county, Miss,
has filed a petition with the Inter
state Commerce Commission against
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad Company. in which the
petitioner charges discrimination in
freight rates.
In the petition Mr. Cohn, through
his attorneys, Watkins & Watkins,
of Jackson, Miss, states that he is
engaged in an extensive mercantile
business, in addition to which he
operates cotton gin and compress,
and that he ships cotton to New
Orleans, and to eastern and north
ern cities, from Lorman in compe-
tition with cotton shippers of Port
Gibson. The territory, i'll which
he buys cotton, the petition states,
is extensive, and lies east of Lor-
man. Lorman is described in the
petition as an unncorporated town
which Mr.. Conn owns and III which
he resides. His specific charges
are that the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley Railroad has in operation
a discriminatory rate in favor
of Port Gibson and against
Lorman, and that the effect of
this rate is to destroy the cotton
business of the petitioner. While
Port Gibson is fifteen miles further
from New Orleans than is Lorman,
Mr.. Cohn AYERS the rate from Port
Gibson to New Orleans is less than
from Lorman to the same point.
While cotton may be shipped from
Port Gibson to New Orleans at
twenty cents a hundred, Mr.. Cohn
declares that it costs him twentY-six
cents a hundred to ship to New Or
leans from Lorman AS he points
out, this makes it cost him about
thirty cents more a bale freight
than the cotton shippers OF Port
Gibson have to pay to get their
cotton to the market at New Or
leans.
The same alleged discrimination
occurs in the rates between Port
Gibson and Lorman to the northern
and eastern ports, according to Mr..
Cohn. Taking Boston as basis,
he gives the following figures ::
Cotton may be shipped from Port
Gibson to Boston, says the petition
er, at from ffty-eight to sixty-fve
cents per hundred, whereas the
rate from Lorman is seventy-one
cents per hundred. As the life of
his cotton business, which he de-
clares amounts annually to the GIN
ming of 1000 bales, depends upon
his getting an equal rate with Port
Gibson, Mr.. Cohn asks the COM
mission to investigate his charges
and to declare the present rate for
cotton shipments from Lorman un-
just. unreasonable and arbitrary.
He further asks damages to the
amount of $1,000.

CLERKS ARE SENTENCED
TO FINE AND IMPRISONMENT

H. P. James and J. L. Gordon, en-
ployes of Desmond's furnishing goods
store, who were arrested Monday,
charged with petty larceny, were SEN
fenced yesterday afternoon by Police
Justice FredrickSon. Gordon was
fined $50. with an alternative of fifty
days in the city Jail. James being, by
his own confessions, guilty of con-
tinued thefts, was sentenced to 100
days in the city Jail.
1t was thought James led Gordon into
taking money and articles of clothing
from the store. If such was the case
it is not known, as Gordon stood by
his friend and would not testify
against him.
James appeared to be much cast
down at his sentence, as he hoped to
get off with fine. But it was thought
by the officers that he had been let
off with an easier sentence than he
deserved.
