NEW CASTLE Nov. 3O.-New CAS-
ties Board OF Education went on rec
ord last night against mixed schools
in this city. In unmistakable Ian
guage the members Of the Board at its
meeting deciued that none but white
children shall be admitted to the pub
lie schools. This action was taken af-
ter the Board had endorsed the ac-
ton of the Committee on Compulsory
Education in deciding to send two boys
under the truancy act to the Ferris
Industrial School.
M. Eliason reported that there had
been some trouble in No. 3 School.
There had been admitted to that school
boy whose father is of dark com
plexion but whose mother is a white
woman and the parents of the othor
children refused to allow them to at
tend the school
Mr.. Eliason said he is strictly op-
posed to the admission of any but
white children into the school. There
fore he presented the following reso-
luton:
That the action of Miss wilhelm in
sending from the school Charles Enty
be approved and that the prin-
cipal be directed to refuse the admis-
sion of any but white children to our
schools"
Mr.. Mclvor in seconding the motion
said that he as chairman of the com
pulsory education committee took up
the case of the boy with County Su-
perintendent Spaid. As one member
of the Board Mr.. McIyor said he has
lnnn fc
opposed to the admission of any but
white children to the white schools.
Supe intendent Spaid was informed
that the best way to settle the matter
was by mandamus proceedings.
Mr.. Eliason said he would go so far
in this matter that sooner than admit
mixed races into the schools he would
favor doing without the state app~o-
priation. President Ferris, and Other
members of the Board discussed the
matte along the same lines and the
esolution was passed.
Last year the boy over whom the
trouble arose was admitted to St
Peters parochial school and some OF
the pare ents of other children with
drew them because they considered
Enty not a white boy. Accordingly the
boy was sent from the school and she
other children eturned to their stud
les. An effo t had been made to get
him into a Pennsylvania school but
the plans failed. This year the atten-
tion of County Superintendent Spaid
was drawn to the boys case.
In connection with the case of the
hoy there will be lawsuit over an as
sault on a man who refused to allow
his boy to attend the school
