yised. 1t was seen long ago that
murmurs would eventually be heard
here and there, and instead OF muir
murs, open protests are now oelhg
made in Richmond, as will be seen
elsewhere in the Gazette.
Captain Carlton Mccarthy may
not have intended his remarks to
have been taken literally wheh he
said negro children were being given
parlor sun baths, and fed upon raw
eggs at the city's expense, but there
are doubtless, in Richmond as IN
other places useless expenditures Tor
public schools when other depart
ments of cities are rendered impo-
tent from the fact that proper appro-
priations cannot be made under eX-
listing conditions. One million dollars
are asked of the capital city for the
maintenance of the public schools.
A special tax will be necessary for
the purpose.
