CLASSES JAPS
WITH CHINESE
Children Ruled Out Of the
White Schools.
A SAN FRANCISCO RULING
Coeducation When Grades Are Not
Provided in Chinese
Schools.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12-The ques-
ton Of providing a public school educa-
tion for Japanese children has now
come to a head.
The increase Of such children has been
so great that in many cases white chill
dren have been forced out of school on
their account
The superintendent of schools referred
the matter to City Attorney Long. and
he has rendered an opinion in which he
declares that the - Japanese children
now attending the various public schools
must 30 to the Chinese public school If
they want free education.
The attorney takes the broad ground
that the Japanese are MOngOlians, and
that therefore the children have no right
to attend the schools provided for the
children of white parentage. He holds
however. that If the japanese apply for
instruction I'm grades that are not pro
Vided IN the Chinese schools, they must
be admitted TO the regular schools.
Influential japanese are sure 10 ap-
peal from this decision, as they say they
are not MOnSolians.
