That the board of education of
the New York schools do not in
tend that the 'color line'' shall
crop into the school system was
fully exemplified few days ago,
when it ignored the protests of the
white teachers and placed William
l.. Buckley as head of school of
125. When the report was issued
some time ago that Mr.. Buckley
was to be placed in charge of this
school, over one half of the teach
ers protested against being oblig-
ed to work under the supervision
of Negro principal. They were
told then by the board of educa-
ton that there was no color line
in the public school system of New
York City. Mr.. Buckley has been
connected with the n Y. schools
for years, and is considered one of
the brightest teachers in the city.
