From me .JdDdnese American, Oct. 10.
The plan Of the board Of education OF this
city to segregate our Japanese children from
the public schools have been al last executed
Yesterday. I'ntil last week no order was
issued by the principals OF the schools TO the
children. so the latter had Thought that the
matter might be adjusted in such a way
that they should not need TO leave the schools
Yesterday the children went 10 the schools
not without some apprehension.
We are sorry, but our Board OF Education
gave the order. so please leave the school
and &c TO the separate school provided Tor
you"
This was what all our children heard. at the
.chools "a soon a. they entered the gates
Yesterday morning. They were astounded.
Most of our Japanese children attend the
Reading School on Pine street, near Franklin
avenue. They are children OF small ages
Some of them being offended by the way
thew were turned. cried: others. being angry,
alarmed the doors Of the school as they
walked out.
Yesterday Tanaka. who ia an interpreter
IN this CITY. went to the Reading School. as
ne has two Of his own children In the school
who might not know what to do when they
would be sent away. The principal OF the
school showed him the written order from
the Board Of Education, saying that she IL
sorry for tha children. that personally she
likes TO have NE japanese children attend her
school. She advised Tanska to sue the Board
Of Education, which Mr.. Tanaka Is going TO
do. as he Ia in the law business.
Ooroku Ikcda. another interpreter. Is re-
ported TO have asked Of the lawyer himseh
that ia meant by the Mon golian or the
go - - tha atata aiatutA 1T means"
aaId the lawyer. the Mon golians: that is.
the Chinese" so, II does not apply to the
Japanese.
The Japanese Consul. Uyeno. Is COINS to
70 himself or send Richardson OF the Con
sulate to the separate school for the Orientais
10 investigate the conditions in the school
FROM the Japanese Amsricdn Of Octl7.
Few WORDS TO STUDENTS.
Our brethren. the students OF the public
school, we hope that not one OF you will attend
the separate school for the time being.
Your parents and friends will devise a good
plan for you. But II any one Of you should
attend the separate school. II might give an
excuse for the Board Of Education to claim
that some OF our Japanese school children
like TO attend the separate school.
From The Ne0 World. Oct. IS.
Jast night, at 7 o'clock. the parents OF our
Japanese school children met at Tanaka's
residence on Pine street to discuss the mHller
OF their children being segregated In a sepa-
rate school. Among those who gathered last
night we're DR.. Kurozawa, Rev. Uchida, Mr..
AOki of The Taiseido book store, Mr.. Ikeda.
the secretary Of the Japanese Association.
Mr.. Kiniwa, another secretary, and several
others. Mr.. AOki introduced DIR. Miyakawa,
the lawyer. TO Inc meeting and requested him
to give his views. DIR. Miyakawa suggested
three means by which the Japanese could get
rid Of the diiiculty.
First. when the Board OF Education Of San
Francisco m-isinterpreted the meaning OF the
word Monaghan" in the State statute to
include the Japanese our Consul. together
with our japanese association. should have
made a vigorous representation to have the
word explained by the Governor when he
proclaimed the law to the public In It's proper
meaning. That might have prevented the
recent mislnterpretation by the Board OF
Education OF the meaning OF the law.
Second, we could have got an Injunction
before the order OF the Board Of Education
was executed by the principals of the public
schools.
Third. now that 1t Ia too late to get the
Injunction. We must resort 70 a mandamus
proceeding.
There arc three ways by which this man
damus proceeding can be resorted to. First,
he Darsnta can d 10 directly. Second. lhs
