Alamosa, Colo.-All the public
schools of Alamosa must admit
Mexican children as pupils and must
give them the same instruction AS is
given the American children of the
city. This obligation is imposed in u
writ OF mandamus issued by Judge
Charles c. Holbrooli OF. the District
Court and directed against the school
board and against the superintendent
of the Alamosa school district.
The suit was brought on behalf Of
Miguel Maestas. Mexican boy. who

school nearest his home. The writ ap.
plies to every Spanish-speaking child
In the city. Alamosa has large Mexi-
can population.
The members of the school board
and Joseph II. Darling. George o..
Thompson is the superintendent.
The defendants alleged that the
court was without jurisdiction and
that the plaintiff had right to ap-
peal only to the county superinten-
dent and ultimately to the State Board
Of Education.
Judge Holbrook ruled that the Court
had unquestioned Jurisdiction, and de-
creed that his order should go into ef-
feet April 9Th. 1t Is considered GER
tain that an appeal will be taken.
The city of Alamosa has three
schoolhouses. One is known as the
Mexican preparatory school and Is
commonly referred to as the Mexican
school,
This school was built for the Span
ish.speaking children OF the city. and
teachers were selected especially ior
1t who could speak both English and
Spanish.
The board arbitrarily fixed rule
that Spanish-speaking pupils could not
enter any of the other schools until
after having completed the fourth
grade in the Mexican school.
