sensation by attacking Miss Gertrude

grade, took the teachers part and
escorted the negro pupil to the hall,
until c. NJ. Morrow, principal of the
school, took the offender in charge
Mr.. Morrow and Miss Boughton both
say that the negro was sorry Tor ms
actions and that he apolog1zed
They also say that he is bright boy
and had given no trouble previous.

at ALL" said Mr.. Morrow this morn

to stand up. He may have been
