Children Already Enrolled

To the Editor Of The Star:
The editorial entitled Tuition in Our Public
Schools" missed the point of the present con-
troversy between the parents OF nonresident
pupils in District public schools and the District
authorities.
We are not opposing the Horan rider" We
are opposing the second Interpretation of the
corporation counsel. The rider" in the
Appropriation Act for 1913 says that the tuition
requirements shall not apply to pupils who
are enrolled in the schools of the District =
on the date of the approval of this Act" The
pupils involved enrolled" before July IS, 1947,
the date Of the approval of the act. The first
Interpretation Of the corporation counsel held
literally to that wording. Moreover, we wish
to stress also that when we inquired about this
tuition matter (for naturally we were con-
cerned when this rider became known we were
assured that we need not worry about tuition
because of the fact that we had enrolled the
children before the deadline. 1t is true we
were advised later that there was some question
about 1t; but school was then just about to
start.
That is the primary issue, and not the merits
of the rider" No parent that know of chal-
lenges the principle incorporated In the Horsn
rider" requiring the payment of tuition by
nonresident pupils. Our contention is that our
children were already enrolled when the new
provision became law. AS q matter of fact.
when we enrolled our children we knew nothing
of the change that was to become effective
within few weeks thereafter

This department hasn't been in
trigued by anything in years as
much as it has by the case Of
New York woman who, claiming
that her sweetie-pie wasn't living
up to his promise to wed her, pick
eted his home. She marched up and
down before the house bearing the
equivalent of Unfair" banners. The
idea opens infinite possibilities in
the world of romance.
1t may be difficult to tell from

are making love or just going
through arbitration proceedings.

boy and girl and say for certain
whether they are going together or
just talking over their latest juris-
dictional dispute?

The white people Of America
have presented TO the colored
citizens an amazing and soul
stirring example Of Streamlined
civilization. The whole world Is
astOunded by Americas utiliza-
ton Of its opportunities.
The white American has put
his assembly line Of productions
on public display. He has seized
the glorious opportunities offered
to the citizens Of this Nation.
Those who are blind can even
feel the Surging tide Of onward
motion. The colored American
has been the incidental benefi-
ciary Of Americas thrift and sur
charged economy.
The wanton waste Of advan.
