The opinion
ClabksoN, J.,
concurring: I heartily concur in the able and constructive opinion of the Court, written by Mr. Justice Connor. In the first place, it gives confidence to those persons and corporations that have or will hereafter invest their money in securities of this State, or its agencies. In the second place, it recognizes that the General Assembly, composed of the representatives of the people, and responsible to them, in its wisdom and sound judgment, may gradually and sanely enact legislation looking to a vision when equal educational advantages will be provided for all the children of this commonwealth, both urban and rural.
