No Public School House for the Negro Children in Wyatt District
The Wyatt district lacks a school for Negro children due to Missouri's constitutional cap on bonds for school buildings. With about 200 school-age Negro children, funds are nearly exhausted and a $40,000 building is needed, but current owners and facilities limit options. Some white students have a new white building, while Negroes use a church, a tavern room, or assembly hall space unavailable for schooling. The state constitution blocks bond approval, and local residents would vote if allowed.
