Norfolk Man Carries Fight
on Auto Fees to State
Tribunal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
j. T. Tinmons of Norfolk sought
today to bring before the Supreme
Court his attack on the validity of
local automobile licenses commonly
imposed by Virginia cities.
Having met defeat in all the lower
courts, .Timmons asked the highest
court to review the case on an appeal
from the Virginia Supreme Court,
claiming the Norfolk city license was
illegal because it is a double if not
a triple tax levied by the same
authority for the purpose for which
another tax is imposed
He said the tax should come under
the scrutiny and ban of the fourteenth
amendment because it was imposed
pursuant to State law and requires
him to forfeit property and rights or
be deprived of liberty without due
process"
His petition said Timmons paid a
State license fee, registered his car
with the State, and paid a local
tangible personal property tax upon
1t, and was arrested because he failed
to pay a local license fee imposed by
Norfolk city ordinance authorized
by State statute
The State Supreme Court refused
writ of error when the case came
up from the Norfolk Corporation Court
September 13.
His petition for a writ of certiorari
was filed in the Supreme Court today
by Charles C. Collins, Washington, and
John Joseph Baecher, Norfolk, counsel.

to being so designated brought about
class distinctions which endured un-
interruptedly for so years and mate
rally handicapped the development of
the public system as we know it today.
Several Methods Tried.
Various schemes for the education
Of the poor at public expense were
evolved. One, provided by city ordi-
nance, was for their education with
out expense to their parents side by
side with those whose parents could
pay for their tuition at the Eastern
and Western Academies.
This system was the definite for
bear Of our present great educational
system, since the sites, the buildings
erected upon them and the salaries of
the teachers who presided over these
schools were, in the main, paid out
Of public funds.
Another plan alIocated to certain
private schools, such as Mr.. McLeod's,
funds to provide the poor" or cor
poration scholars" with their tuition.
Under such a dual arrangement zeal
Gus, even jealous, rivalries existed
which extended to length Of school
session, hours, even days of at
tendance, strictnesS of discipline and
manner and method of the 1nstruc-
ton itself.
The shades OF the vacationleSs
pupils Of this regime, who from dawn
until sunset were relentlessly driven
in a cherries quest for knowledge,
must be rejoicing in the saner school
hours Of today with their staggered
program Of recreation interspersed
with learning"
There is no more individual figure
In the early days Of Washington'S
educational history than that Of John
Mcleod, the Irish schoolteacher, who
for 38 years bought reputation and
money to himself by teaching three
generations of Washington school
children.
BUSY by Sunrise"
In a newspaper card of the time
he states, my school is open and in
complete order by daybreak through
out the year. The teachers are ready
to attend the scholars as they enter.
and there is always great business by

morning sleep before presenting
themselves in their class rooms.
What the pupils reaction to this
program was, we CLEAN from the fol-
lowing defense of it on the part of
Mr.. Mcleod. There is not a syllable
Of truth In the assertion that learning
is more laborious than the common
occupations Of life" That the sturdy
lads Of the time were rebellious at
having their Saturdays pre-empted is
evident from this further statement
Of Mr.. McLeod's: "The female stu
dents are remarkable for attendance
at ali times. The males are reluctant
because they are not accustomed TO
the Saturday regime" And he urges
the cooperation Of the parents that
his policies shall prevail.
In 1903 we know that this school
was opposite the Marine Barracks on
Eighth street southeast, north of I
street.
Apparently during the years 1914
1915 the school did not hold sessions
for 1t is a matter Of record that this
property was occupied by our military
guard.
Moved to Tenth and G.
After the war with England Mr.. Nc
Leod sold this property near the
Navy Yard and erected a school build
ing with a residence near Tenth and
@ streets. That he ever respected the
cooperative value Of the press is eVi-
denced by his ready use Of frequent
newspaper advertising At one juno
ture a notice to mechanics was in
serted, notifying them that he would
exchange. their laboIs for the tuition
OF their daughters. Carpenter" he
adds, ARE especially sought"
That the gentler sex were not ex-
pected to languish entirely without the
benefit of the three RS is evidenced
in excerpts from Washington's lead
ing newspaper, the National Intelli-
gencer. For example, on November 3,
1906, Robert Elliot, principal of the
Washington Academy East, announces
that an assistant has been engaged and
Is daily expected whereby he will have
more time to devote to the higher
classes and the female department" ."
Richard White, principal Of the Wash
ington Academy West, in the same
advertising medium on December 81,
1906, takes the opportunity of ac-
quainting the respectable friends in
the vicinity of the academy that he
will be prepared to take a few young
ladies under his care"
Not to be outdone, the ever forceful
and resourceful Mr.. Mcleod from his
new location advertises his school as
the Central Academy" Boastfully
he mentions his Income of $4,000 from
las scholars in only two years after
the schools opening, whereas the East
ern Academy has but 90"
With clientele unimpaired, he seems
to have moved on from site to site as
each improved in value. Next we
