Elisha Scott, Who Brought Weir City School Board To Time Has Brought Mandamus Suit Against The Southern Habits of The of- feyville School Board Who Refuses Colored Children Admission to Junior High School The Supreme Court Set the Case For Oct. 1st The Board Is Showiug Their Ignorance and Hatred (First published in The Topeka Plain-dealer September 21, 1923.) In the Supreme Court of the State of Kansas Celia Thurman-Watts, Plaintiff, vs. The Board of Education of the city of Coffeyville, Kansas, consisting of T. E. Perry, Pres.; F. M. Mercer, A. E. (Bert.) Hasting; A. A. Bessie; Dr. Albert E. Martin and A. I. Decker, as superintendent of public schools, city of Coffeyville, state of Kansas, Defendants. PETITION That said city of Coffeyville is a city of the first class. Plaintiff alleges that defendants are now in control and operating what is known as a Junior High School in the city of Coffeyville. That said school was financed by the tax payers of sald city, of which plaintiff is one, and on the completion of sald school, public notice was given through the press that the school would be open, for the pupils eligible on Monday, September 24, 1923. That all students expecting to enroll will begin Tuesday, September 18. That the 9th grade will enroll Tuesday forenoon; the 8th grade will enroll Wednesday forenoon, September 10; the 7th grade will enroll Thursday forenoon, September 20. That as the plaintiff and her daughter, Victoria Thurman, approached the enrollment table, they were accosted by_____, who was in charge of the enrollment of students for entering said Junior High school and told that colored children could not enroll. That said Junior High school was for the white children. That subsequent to the first public notice given, numerous public notices had been given through the public newspapers of said city of Coffeyville, in substance, that white children enroll at the Roosevelt Junior High school and that colored children in the 7th, 8th and 9th grades, report to the Cleveland school. Plaintiff further alleges that the Cleveland school is a common grade school, wholly without facilities for the operation of a common school. That it is unsanitary and without the proper instruments or facilities to teach even the common grades. That the principal of said school is not a college graduate nor has he a life certificate. That he is, in no wise, capable or competent to teach a first year high school student. Notwithstanding his qualifications, defendant designated a room six by ten feet (6x10'), which is the principal's office, as the room for the 9th grade and the said principal as teacher of said class. There has been positively no facilities arranged for the teaching of a Junior High school in said building. There could be no gymnasium nor manual training room, no facilities for domestic art, in fact nothing to constitute any part of a Junior High school. That the Junior High school building, for the eligible students of said city and now denying colored students, is absolutely complete in every particular for a Junior High school, equipped with every thinkable facility, and the best brain in the nation to teach the students. That it is centrally located, has a safetlera department and has everything for the education, edification and convenience of a pupil. That said Cleveland Common school is not in a fit location; that it is not centrally located and some children would have to go more than two miles to reach it. That it is in a deplorable condition and is a disgrace to civilization. Plaintiff further alleges that said Victoria Thurman, daughter of the plaintiff, on presenting herself for enrollment, being in every way qualified and entitled to enroll and appearing in person, making demand for enrollment, in company with the plaintiff, said Victoria Thurman was excluded and prohibited from enrolling and from attending said Junior High school for the sole reason that she is of African descent and colored. That then and there, said child was refused permission to attend said Junior High School, in the Roosevelt Junior High School building in Coffeyville, Kansas. Said Victoria Thurman, daughter of the plaintiff, alleges that she has made every demand and has taken every step necessary for admission and has been refused each time, on account of being of African descent and colored. Plaintiff states that said Cleveland common school is now crowded with over two hundred students. There is approximately twenty students eligible to the 9th grade; thirty in the 8th grade and approximately thirty five in the 7th grade. That there are at least 20 children of African descent and colored, eligible to attend the Junior High school, ready and willing to go when provision is made. That approximately sixty five are ready and willing to attend the 7th and 8th grades when ample provision is made. That by reason of being refused the right to enroll, and admission to the Roosevelt Junior High school, as aforesaid and by reason of the said orders and instructions of said defendants in causing the said minor child, Victoria. Thurman to be refused and being directed to Cleveland school if she attended school at all, she is greatly inconvenienced and cannot get the training she is entitled to under the law and will, at all times, be unable to attend any high school. That the plaintiff and her minor child are discriminated against by the said defendants, the Board of Education of the city of Coffeyville, afore mentioned and named, and A. I. Decker, as superintendent of the public schools of the city of Coffeyville, and each of them, on account of their race and color. Flaintiff further alleges that A. I. Decker, superintendent of said school and all of the members of the Board of Education, except one, are generally known to be members of the Klux Klux Klan and are maliciously-pro judiced to the plaintiff and her daughter, by reason of their race and color. That discrimination against this plaintiff and her said minor child is without authority of law, un-American, unjust and contrary to the law made and provided for the government of said schools in cities of first class. That it is the duty of the said defendants and each of them, to permit and allow this plaintiff's minor child, aforesaid, to attend the Roosevelt Junior High School, as aforesaid and to enter the 9th grade of said school. That the only reason that the said defendants and each of them assign for not allowing her to so attend said school, the Roosevelt Junior High School, is on account of her race and color and by reason of her being of African descent. That she is discriminated against for that reason alone and for reason of their teaching and doctrines under the order of the Klu Klux Klan. That the acts of said defendants and each of them, in refusing the plaintiff's said minor child permission to attend said Junior High School in the 9th grade and on account of her race and color, for the sole reason that she is of African descent, are unlawful, illegal and unreasonable on the part of said defendants, and contrary to the provisions and in direct violation of the act in relation to public schools in the city of Coffeyville, Kansas, which act is entitled as follows and provides as follows: That it is the full duty of defendants to accept the daughter of said plaintiff on the question of qualification and not of color. That plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law. For that reason, this proceeding in Mandamus is resorted to. That by reason of said rules and regulations, it is and was, intended that all children of African descent, living within the limits therein prescribed, should attend the Roosevelt Junior High School, regardless of color or other conditions. That under all the rules and laws, legally enacted, daughter of plaintiff is justly entitled to admission to the school, to which plaintiff's minor said Roosevelt Junior High School. That the said Cleveland Common child was directed by said defendants to attend, is not by any means equally advantageous and cannot be, for educational purposes. That it is not, nor can it be, equipped for students eligible for Junior High school. That said child is legally entitled to admission to the Roosevelt High school in said city and state. Wherefore: Plaintiff prays the Honorable Court that an order of Writ of Mandamus issue out of said court, directed to the said defendants and each of them, commanding them forthwith to permit said plaintiff's minor daughter, Victoria Thurman and other eligible pupils to attend said Junior High School in the Roosevelt Junior High School building, afore mentioned in said city and county and state afore mentioned or show cause immediately to this court, why they should not do so and that on the final hearing, that plaintiff have judgment for a permanent writ of mandamus, the costs of this action and for such other and further relief as the court in the premises deems proper. Petition was verified as shown by other copy. MRS. BAILEY WAGGONER PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. B. P.

His answer steadfastly comes to ones' own heart of love, "I am thine own shield and hiding place, and the rivers of sorrow shall not thee overflow." Yes, Dear old Friend, it gives us inexpressible grief to learn, through The Maindealer, Aug. 17th, of the death of your beloved daughter, Mrs. Arnicholas Chiles-Williams. She desired a "better country" and when the "beautiful gates" beaconsed a welcome she lingered not, but entered into rest, saintly brighter than an Angel. Faithfully yours, Doctor Floyd Grant Snelson and Family. IN MEMORIAM In memory of my dear husband, W. H. Jackson, who departed this life one year Sept. 6, 1923. Dear husband, how I miss you, no one knows. God called you a man you had to go. Your memory is as sweet today as the day you passed away. You have gone but are not forgotten. We will meet some sweet day by and by. Lovingly your wife, ROSA JACKSON. R. H.' BOYD, JR., CARRIES $50,000 TO PROTECT HIS ASSOCIATION Not until this year was it possible for your Board to get the protection it was entitled to on the life of the secretary. This was due to the fact that the former secretary had passed the insurable age when the plant was in a position to stand it. At the board meeting held last October the secretary was authorized to make application for $50,000,000 worth of insurance to be placed upon his life, naming the National Baptist Publishing Board as beneficiary. Application for $30,000 worth of this insurance was made, and we are glad to report that policies to this amount have been issued; $25,000 in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and $5,000 in the Standard Life Insurance Company, so that the insurance policies now in possession of your board held in the vault here on the life of the secretary mark a new epoch in safe-guarding and protection. In case the secretary should die, notice and proof of death would be all that is necessary for your board to secure the full amount of polities, which at present would be $35,000.00. When the financial condition of the board permits, the secretary intends to take the full $50,000 worth authorized, as we feel that the board is entitled to all the protection possible to secure. The present secretary is the son of the late R. H. Boyd, who was the founder of the institution and who gave to the race its greatest idea of development and self-help. The financial standing from certified accountants, the best in the United States was the outstanding feature submitted to he Publishing Boatrd. The report was set up in divisions covering every phase of the National Baptist Publishing Board. Rev. Mr. Boyd also reported the work of the Sunday school congress' recent session at Indianapolis, Ind., during the month of June. MRS. WAYAM ANDERSON ENTERTAINS AT NEWTON Mrs. Wayland Anderson gave a very charming luncheon Friday, Sept. 14th at her home on East 6th street.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM AFRICA Careysburg, via Monrovia, Liberis, July 1, 1922 Mrs. M. D. Jones, Smoky Hill Womens Convention Dear Christian Friends: It is with much love I write to you all to let you know I am well and thank you all for your kindness to me through your worthy president, Mrs. M. D. Jones. I am glad to say I am well and God is blessing this new Baptist mission 40 miles back in the interior; for it is just four months old today, and my enrollment is twice as large as some of the old mission stations. My enrollment is 165. 58 stay in the mission with me and 6 have gone home for sickness, but will be back. The rest are day students. Our mission in Brewerville is 11 years old, has altogether 56 pupils, and their children are leaving them constantly. This mission is increasing so I had to ask the people to wait until I had some more beds made, because my money is all gone, but these naive children will sleep on the floor, rolled up in their country mats before they will go back to their homes. I am surrounded by natives. I have children from 7 different tribes coming to this mission. Some cannot speak a word of English, but I am speaking Pessey fine so I am reaching them that way. I received your letter of May the 10th. It reached Monrovia June 8th, so it made it here in less than a month, but I am so far back in the bush that it was nearly two weeks before I received it. I am very thankful to Sister Jones and the Smoky Hill Womans Board for the $25.00 you sent me. I can truthfully say that it came to me in a very needy time. A large supply of goods was in the custom for me, and the duty on it was $15.00 and it cost $9.60 to bring it to me and the children back in the interior, and I had just $10.00 that Rev. Douglas of Oakley had sent me, so I took his $10.00 and bought some pots, pans, lamps, paper, and envelopes that I needed badly. I praise God for you dear friends that are helping me teach "One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism." I do not know how I could have gotten my food out here but for you good friends, as an angel of mercy to help me in time of need. I am reaching these native people far and near. A native chief and four of his men came to visit me last Tuesday and took dinner with me. When they finished the old man said "Me done see God today if I never 'gin see God, I done see him today. I never before eat with 'Mexican people mammy, you must be God woman." He kept talking to me over and over again, how glad he was. They came 8 hours walk for me to take some more children from their tribe, also for me to come to his native town next Sunday and tell them about Jesus. He said, "Mammy, it's too far for you to walk. I will send men and hammock to carry you, so while I am riting this letter four robust native men have come for me, so early tomorrow morning I start on that long journey. I will take one of my teachers and six boys from the mission, for we will be in the path all day. I will be gone five days. A man came 100 miles to bring two girls to the mission. You see how very anxious these people are to know the story of Jesus. T could tell you thrilling stories like these all day. Please excuse my delay in writing. I was waiting for your fine box to reach me, but up to this date it has not reached me, but parcel post does not travel as fast as letters. I thank you very much for the books, also for the box, for when I come back from the interior, I will have many naked babies and your box will get there in time to clothe them. Kaw Valley and Neosho has sent me lovely boxes, so all my naked children here are clothed from these boxes. Your books will be a God send to me. I am leaning so bravely on the Lord Jesus Christ, until no one can uproot this Baptist mission. You must keep on praying daily for your co-worker and Sister Jones what a sacrifice to give up a paying job and accept a small salary just to inform her co-workers of the needs of this field. God bless you Sister Jones, and teach you alive until we meet again. ```markdown ``` with a large picture of the great woman in the building. No district in the state has sent me as much as you have. You have sent me $166, and when I receive your two large boxes it will go over $200.00. I shall send an open letter to convention what each district has sent me during the past year. Mary is a fine girl and I know you will like her. Her father and mother are heathen people but they are anxious for Mary to come to America to be trained. He is chief of the Kru tribe. As soon as I get the money I am going to send you some pictures. My needs are so many I will not burden you with them. But send just what you feel like sending. I will be very grateful for the tubs and boards because there is no wash boards here. People either wash with their hands or beat the dirt out on the rocks, and by the time they get through beating, the sun and the rain beating, your clothes don't last very long, but with our wash boards it would be different. Then I want to teach the girls better. Dr. Graham is a fine man and every dollar you all send me he sees that I get it, but many times the work needs the money at once and it impossible to wait, but every dollar I receive I report monthly and I tell just what I do with it. His heart is wrapped up in his work and he is kind and sympathetic to has missionaries. Give my love to your co-workers and pray a special prayer at the convention for me. I do not know the corresponding secretary of the Associate proper, but the moderator owes me a letter August 15, I will start my revival at the mission. I wish Rev. and Mrs. Douglas would come out this year for the new station needs them. Again I thank you all for showing your love to me and I am praying for Got to continue blessing you Spiritually, numerically and financially. I plan to put up one building in 1922, and then come home on a furlough in 1923 and ask the Baptists for $10,000 to erect four buildings on our 200 acre tract. I need an auto to bring my foodstuffs to the mission, for the best road in the country is the one leading to Careysburg. All the other roads are little more than footpaths. We need Rev. Douglas out here badly. Your letters are so encouraging to me, until I read them many times. You are a true friend and if anyone needs a friend it is when they are 6,000 miles away from home, suffering many things that we never mention to our friends at home. H. I. Monroe's letters are very encouraging too. Dear Henry and Mattie Bradshaw write such lovely letters, until I never destroy them. God bless you dear friends. Some of my friends seem to busy to write, but I know they love me just the same. I am praying that this letter will reach you in time for your convention. Yours in Christ, Mrs. Francis B. Watson.
