yesterday by Attorney F. Sprigg Perry,
counsel for the board Of education. Eliza
beth Wall. a seven-year-old girl. Of

Of education or its officers can make an
exception in the case Of any child or

has provided separate systems OF schools
for white and colored children and super
intendents OF white schools have been
vested with authority TO bar colored chill
Aren from their institutions
Elizabeth Wall is the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Stephen Wall, of Brookland.
The mother is a white woman and the
child shows no traces OF colored blood
although the father, who is employed at
the Government Printing Office, is a
negro.
