DECLARES Law DISCRIMINATES
PROVISION RELATING TO
SCHOOLS SUBJECT OF PROTEST.
Payment Exacted for Education OF
Blind Child, Citizen Says,
Is Unjust.

The discrimination in the laws govern
ing the District. by which a parent is
compelled to pay for the education OF a
blind child and not for the instruction OF
the seeing. normal child. is the subject
of a protest which has been filed with
the Commissioners by DR.. r. A. Pyles.
will you not, at the coming session Of
Congress. have the new law amended
that compels a parent to pay for the edu-
cation of a child that is blind, while 1t
permits the education OF the child who is
more fortunate free of COST" asks DR..
Pyles In his communication.
"'Of the numerous children, residents OF
the District of Columbia. who are being
educated at the Maryland School for
the Blind. your honorable body has forced
the parents of but two to pay the sum
of $500 annually or withdraw the child
from school. In one case the latter ac-
ton was taken. which is greatly to be
regretted.
Alienation Alleged.
"All children at this school receive the
same care and attention. whether they
are sent free or their tuition and board
are paid by the parent. which Is COM
mendable: yet 1t alienates the pay child
from its companion to some extent when
the fact becomes known that its tuition
is paid for.
During the ordinary period required
for the education Of a child about ten
years-the sum of money amounts to
$1,000 and is certainly hardship upon
the citizen who has a child SO unfortu-
nate as to be blind. I cannot think that
it is a just law that discriminates in ia
% hn nd oil thn ind
child an even greater burden upon the
parent"
The matter is under consideration by
the Commissioners.
