The state board unanimously re
versed the decision of the board OF
trustees of the Gonzales independent
school district, as well as that of for
mer Superintendent of Public Instruc
ton F. NJ. Bradley, which refused per
mission to Syrian children, to attend
the white free schools. This question
has been in controversy for year and
Mondays decision of the state board
means that sixty-seven Syrian children
of scholastic age in Gonzales may at
tend the white schools.
The board acted on an opinion given
recently by the attorney generals de
partment that to exclude the Syrian
children from the free public schools
would be unconstitutional and in vic
lation of the bill of rights.
