In a decision handed down last
week, our Supreme Court declar-
ed the act authorizing the estaE-
lishrnent of county Agricultural
High Schools in conflict with the
Fourteenth Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States
and therefore unconstitutional.
The act authorizes the establish
ment of these schools for the
:. 'White'' children of the state.
which is held to violate the Fed
eral Constitution. As a number
of these schools have been es-
tabIished and are now in opera
ton, some confusion will result
in their maintenance until the
defect in the bill is cured by the
legislature at the January SEES,
sion. It is presumed that this
will be done without delay.
