that no attempt at restitution had

that In couscquonco this constituted

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. At Thurs
day's noon meeting, tho directors
were ready to reaffirm their previ
ous stand, but nt the later session
the cliauga wns fnvored.
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
