SCHOOL FEES ILLEGAL
No Charge of Any Kind Can be Made
in Common Schools.
Atlanta, Ga. —That a fee of any
kind can not be charged legally in
the common schools of the state was
set fortli fully in a decission of the
supreme court.
The ease involving this important
point was raised in Montgomery coun
ty when fourteen children were, ex
cluded from the Mount Vernon and
Ally school districts in that county
because their parents refused to pay
a matriculation fee of $2.50, charged,
in the schools in those districts.
Shannon and others, parents of
the excluded children, brought man
damus proceedings against, the boards
of trustees of the two districts to
compel them to admit the. children.
It was contended that the parents
were all residents and tax payers of
the district, and that as the schools
were maintained out of the common
school funds they hud no legal right
to exclude the children.
Judge Martin issued the manda
mus and the supreme court sustain
ed him. It was held a charge for
I matriculation or any oilier fee could
not be. legally imposed as a condi
tion of entrance to the school.
j MAJORITY OVER 25,000
AGAINST AMENDMENT
i Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 30. —Later
returns from the state indicate ,that
yesterday's majority against the pro
, hibition constitutional amendment, will
run above 25,000. II appears that a
, vote of not less than 125,000 was poll
ed, the largest in the history of the.
state.
As the sweeping nature of the de
feat of the amendment is realized
there is a disposition in all circles
to analyze the result for its proba
ble effect on future legislation in the
state. Industrial leaders and busi
ness men of Birmingham are almost
unanimous in their belief that the
result was a rebuke to recent drastic
legislation and tile declaration of the
people of Alabama of their deterinlna
tion to return to conservatism.
Leaders of the amendment forces
were overwhelmed by the news of
the result as they were absolutely
confident of victory up to the last
moment.
Today the temperance people them
selves are receiving the blame for
Hie defeat of the amendment. Coun
ties which have had prohibition for
twenty-five years voted against the
amendment while in other sections, it
is declared the temperance workers,
feeling secure in victory, failed to do
the proper work at the polls.
The defeat of the amendment is
not considered a straight-out anti
prohibition victory and it is not re
garded as likely that the state will
again go back to conditions existing
before the state-wide law was adopt
ed. However, modifications of the
present laws are expected bythe next
legislature.
