NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 8.-If the
location of the Middle Tennessee Nor
NAL School at Columbia depends upon
the use of the Military Academy prop
erty that institution will have to be
located at some other point in this
section of the State.
Such in effect is the decision OF At
torney General Charles T. Gates, Jr.'
rendered to State Superintendent
Jones. of the Department of Public
instruction. This opinion has just
come to light and is to the effect that
the Trustees of the Military Academy
cannot convey this property to the
state for use as Normal School.
Attorney General Gates holds that
this property was conveyed to the
Trustees by the United States for use
as a military school and that 1t can
not be used for any other purpose
without a violation of this trust. The
act of cession and the deed both, IN
the opinion of the Attorney General
exclude all idea of the use OF the
nroperty for any purpose other than
as a military school.
It is evident that the Trustees OF the
Academy or a number of them nave
tentatively rendered this property TO
the state for use as a Normal School
because State Superintendent Jones,
in his letter to the Attorney General
saws: "The State Board of Education
is reliably informed that this property
will he rendered them for use as a
state Normal School" If this infor-
nation is "reliable" it evidently came
from the Trustees or from one haV-
ING the right to speak for them or a
number of them.
That the state Superintendent is not
nleased with the opinion of the Attor'
new General is evident from the tac'
that he has refused the press OF tnls
