PUBLIC SCHOOL MUDDLE.
.... (I i
A very strong effort was made
when the town of Vinila waaor.
ganized and incorporated under
s tlje federal laws to take in a large
scope of outlying country. This
of course meant the confiscation of
the homes oi those who happened
to have places adjoining town.
Those who led in that selfish
movement have never -quite given
up 'he tight tho' thwarted in their
designs in the first place. The
exclusion of Cherokee child-
ren from the public school
recently by the school board is but
another chapter of the same story.
Those who own property on the
outside have some rights that do
not seetn to have been taken into
consideration. Were they includ-
ded in the town limits it would
mean the giving up of the homes
without remuneration and would

tiu.lbe city limits but in that
'''event the Cherokee school board
should be held accountable for the
luisappropriation of Cherokee
school money. On the other hand
if the Cherokee board of education
simply appoints a teacher for
Vinita-in the usual way . then it
would be obligatory upon that
teacher to teach the Cherokee
children who attend at the usual
place of keeping school and sub-
ject to the same rules as formerly.
The question now would seem to
be one tor the Cherokee board of
education to settle. .If the Chero-
kee board furnishes tbe city schools
Cherokee teachers then tbe city
board should be required by man-
damus to admit such' CheroVf?
pupils.
The proposition to exclude the
votes of white adopted citizens is a
belated movement and comes from
tbe debated candidates for chief
"and assistant chief in tbe Cherokee
Election. The time to exclude
white votes expired forty years
ago.
The amount of money the Cher-
okee national council will be al-
lowed to spend on itself hereafter
will be limited by the blue pencil
of the president of the United
States.
The Cherokees are not worried
s to whether per capita payments
are to be made through Indian
agents or otherwise; they don't
-expect many more such innova-
tions. ;
