In accordance with the authority
given by the board of health to reopen
schools without restriction next Mon
day, the board of education last even
ing adopted a resolution resembling the
objectionable part of a. former resolu-
ton, which resulted in the mandamus-
ing of the board to permit all %unvacct-
mated pupils to attend. The vote on the
adoption OF the resolution last night
was unanimous, but the action taken
will not prevent the prosecution of the
appeal in the Cox case before the su-
preme court.
The resolution was offered by Mr..
Critchlow, n is as follows:

and direction of the board of health or

period of two weeks. on account OF the
prevalence of the disease of smallpox. in
this city, and afterwards by resolution
adopted on Jan. 20, also, in accordance
with the direction of the board of health
and this boards duty in the premises, did
reopen the schools to such of the pupils
as had complied with the request and di-
rection of the board of health by sub
jecting themselves TO vaccination; n
afterwards, on Jan. q, in obedience to the

Mr.. Moyle attempted to secure a mod
ifcation of the resolutions ~recitals of
the circumstances controlling the school
boards actions, but he failed to secure
a second to his motion.
Pointing out that Mr.. Moyle had
voted for the former resolutions of the
board, Mr.. Critchlow took the member
to task. why are you not willing to
the BUSH" was Mr.. Crftchlow's parting
shot.
Mr.. Moyle replied that he had blindly
followed the health boards directions
to an absurd result. but would do so
no longer, since the health board had
gotten the school board into a bad hole.
Mr.. Newman took exception to what
he Ia0cleU were SOlhS
around that the majority of the school
board members were the only law-abid-
ing ones, While the minority were de-
FAINT Of the health boards orders.
r Mr.. GiauQue, the other member from
the minority side, also did not like the
wording of Mr.. Critchlow's resolution
in certain parts, blu finally declared for
it, in order to effect the r~eopening4 OF
the schools.
