ing resided here for over thirty years.
can became citizen. The court said

be citizen and the other an alien.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
The question which arises in Coz
lumbia Trust Company vs.. Lincoln In
stitute. 1873 Southwestern Reporter,
1l3. is the constitutionality Of an act
passed in Kentucky known as tho
Holland Bill making 1t unlawful for
corporation to operate an Industrial
school for colored people without first
obtaining the consent Of the majority
of the voters in the precinct where the
school is to be maintained. The court
held that since the teaching Of the
young to be useful. upright christian
citizens is not inimical to the public
safety, public morals. or the public
health. such an act must be invalid.
The constitution of the state recogniz-
es it a substantial good to educate the
youth Of the state. and declares the
policy that "the general assembly shall
provide for an efficient system
of schools turnout the state" Bill Of
rights, section reads: "All men are, by
nature. free and equal, and have certain
inherent and inalienable rights, Srnong
which may be reckoned . right Of
acquiring and protecting property
and that absolute and arbitrary pow
er over the lives and property Of free
men exists nowhere in republic" etc.
The court of appeals Of Kentucky says:
Education strengthens the mind. pur.
ifies the heart. and widena the horizon
of thought. 1t magnifies the domain Of
hope, multiplies the chances Of cue.
cess in life. and opens wide the door OF
opportunity to the poor as well as to
the rich. 1t makes men better hus-
bands, better fathers. and better citi-
zens. The legislature may prohibit the
mingling of white and colored children
in the same schools. or in schools OF
immediate proximity; 1t may be within
the police power to prohibit co-educa.
ton of the sexes. or In any other resl-
sonable way regulate the mere man.
ner of educating the youth. but It can
never arbitrarily prohibit education.
