VIRGINIANS in ROW
over LOCATION Of
negro SCHOOL SITE
preston News service)

RICHMOND. Va, July 7.-During
the public session of city council last
Monday night when the petition for a
Negro school building in the west end
came up for consideration casual
observer would have thought one Of
the gravest questions of the age was
being decided.
At the conclusion of an earnest and
heated discussion of a petition from
the city school board, asking that the
ordinace providing for erection of a
school building in the west end for
colored children, be amended so that
the building may be erected in the
Negro section of Sidney, which took
up period of more than three hours,
engaged in by many of Richmond S
so-called representative citizens for
and against, the finance committee
voted to recommend the rejection of
the petition by vote. of 5 to 2.
Those who advocated the erection
of the building in the Negro section of
Sidney gave as their main reasons
that if the school is not built at that
point the colored children, of whom
there is about 500, it was said, will be
compelled to walk more than mile
to attend the nearest Negro school on
the north side of Broad street, and that
their pathway will be through white
sections and over dangerous crossings.
The opponents of the petition de-
clared that the erection of such a
building in a white section of the city
would mean the perpetuation of anoth-
er Jackson Ward" which would grow
by leaps and bounds after the school
building is completed. Negroes would
gather in that section like rats.
The discussion assumed wide scope.
The question of Negro suffrage, equal
rights, and social, political and edu-
cational equality were discussed by
various speakers.
Although it was noted that no one
on either side expressed a desire to
curtail the school facilities offered
Negroes in this city, but it was evil
dent from all sides that Negroes should
not be encouraged in "encroaching up
on white" territory. but should be
confined and forced to themselves.
