COLOR QUESTION DODGED.
OskaIoosa School Admission Case De-
cided on Other Grounds.

The supreme court has denied the
mandamus asked for by Oracle Jones
and other colored children to compel
Principal B. E. McProud to allow them
admission to the Oskaloosa high school.
The denial is on the grounds that the
evidence shows they were not up to the
standard of admission in their studies.
and that they were not Disseminated
against on account of color, but indi-
Gates if such had been the case they
would have good grounds for complaint.
The language of the opinion follows:
The proofs show that the plaintiffs
made demand for admission to the high
school, the lowest grade of which was
numbered 10; they they were not quail
fed to enter such school for the reason
that they had completed grade 8 only in
the grammar department The -prepon-
derance of evidence does not show that
the plaintiffs have been discriminate ted
against on account of color. Had such
fact appeared they would have ground
for complaint
They demanded admission to the high
school, to which manifestly they were
not entitled. The school in which they
completed grade 8, and TO which grade
9 was added by the school board in the
suraner of 1900 is not inferior in stand
ing, nor are the teachers shown to be
less capable than those of other schools
of the same grades in the district.
