Phelps admits receiving the $4,000

Abuses Creeping Into the Common
School System.

In one of the local papers of Georgia
appeared, last week, a statement, put forth
by the local Board Of Education, in which
we find grave misconception of the true
purpose of Our Constitution on the sub
ject of Common Schools. The Board
takes the position that the parent is the
real beneficiary OF the school fund and
that if the parent nisbehaves himself or
