VOTE TO ADMIT BEGINNERS TO CUT SCHOOLS LITIGATION AVOIDED BY ACTION TO HAVE ONE CLASS All PupIlN HliirlliiK Work In Mid Voir Will Knlor At Kenwood Kcouomy Prevent More Tlmn One ClaiH. Rather than plunge the district In to additional litigation, tho school board Is opening a beginners' class at once for children desiring to start tho work In tho grades. This was the decision reached at an adjourned session ot tho dlroctors last week resulting from a reconsideration of the decision which had been virtual ly reached a few hours earlier. In tho Interest of economy, the bonrd had decided betoro tho open ing of tho Bchool year to admit no mid year beginning pupils. A threat to start mandamus proceedings to force principals to admit children to classes at once, made by W. P. Myers nttlirncy for parents whose children haJ been dented cntranco to begin nlin; classes, resulted ln reconsider- atlqn of this decision.

One C1&h Authorized The, decision ot the bonrd, how ever, docs not establish beginning classes ln all tho city schools. The need for drastic economy, coming from the defeat ot tho district budget late last yoar, Is still recognized, and because ot this, tho Kenwood school, where tho greatest amount of room Is available, was selected as the building ln which ono largo begin ners' class would be located, rather than linvlng several small classes scatUr?u nmong the various grade 5CUUU1S Ul Mrs. J.
