Schoolboys May Go Barefoot.

The board of school commissioners in Indianapolis have championed the cause of the “barefoot boy with cheek of tan” at its regular meeting. The barefoot boy question was brought up recently when letters wefe read with requests that every boy and girl be compelled to wear shoes and stockings to school. Joseph Keller, one of the members of the board, declared that to enforce such a rule would be to place the small boy in torment and deprive him of one of the inherit rights of childhood.
