The Circuit Court for Anne Arundel coun-
ty, Judge Thomas, Tuesday decided that the
writ of mandamus will not lie TO compel the
Board OF School Commissioners Of Howard
county to keep open the colored schools OF
that county as long as the white schools.
The petitioners In this case are Amos Smith
ct al, who claim that the action Of the How
ard County School Board In closing the
colored schools on April IA, while keeping
open the white schools for the full terms Is
contrary to Maryland Statute law and also
the Fourteenth Amendment TO the United
States Constitution. The court, however,
holds that whenever the funds by which
any particular class of schools is maintained
become exhausted the school Board for the
county cannot be compelled to require IL
new levying of taxes TO continue the sessions
of this class, but may close the schools
comprised within 1t at the boards discre-
ton.
