schools was taken by the board OF edu-
cation last night when that body IN
structed all principals and teachers TO

Cooley 10 notify the parents or guard

to direct the child study department
to examine each such child.

Was ordered TO report the result OF the
examination In each case to the COM

with the committee whether or not TO
