SCHOOL AGE " sly FR4NcLsco

The School Board Of San Francisco has acted
prudently III withdrawing from the attitude
which il recently sought 10 maintain toward
japanese pupils. The original proposal was to
exclude all Japanese children, Of whatever age
and attachments. from the ordinary schools and
TO compel them 10 attend special Jim Crow"
schools of their own. Whether that was compat-
bile with those treaty stipulations which form
part Of the supreme law Of California as we'll
Of the rest Of the land, and which were in
force before the enactment Of the local ordinance
for japanese segregation, Is moot question.
which may now not have 10 be answered since
the school board, having seen light at Washing
ton agrees 10 admit to the schools without dis
elimination all children OF whatever race who
are Of proper school age and who can speak the
English language.
That is proper plan. We have always sym
pathized with the objections which have been
made to the seating Of adult Japanese-or per
sons Of any r8ce-in school with children Of ten
der years There would, or certainly should be
objection to it in New York as much as III san
Francisco, upon social well as upon peda-
gOgica grounds There Is also legitimate objec-
ton to the admission to ordinary English schools
Of pupils of any age who cannot use the English
language such objection being for the sake Of
those pupils themselves. as well as for that of
the rest Of the school. For iliterate persons
above the school age, and for aliens Of all ages
who do not know language special educa-
tional facilities should be afforded. ana we as
sumo that that will be done in San Francisco.
And these should be the same for persons Of all
nationalities.
II would have saved much wranging and ami
mostly if San Franciscans had taken this IA
tional stand AT the beginning and had ex-
cuded adult japanese from the schools not be
cause they were japanese, but because they were
adults instead of declaring that because they
did not want grOwn-up japanese IN primary
schools they would not permit Japanese children
Of proper school age and qualifications to attend
them. 10 the original proposal self-respect. as
well regard for what they believed 10 he their
treaty rights impelled the japanese 10 take ex-
ceptOn- To. the arrangement now announced no
exception is properly TO be taken by them or by
any one
