WANT SCHOOLS CLOSED
Parents Associations Appeal to Mayor Mitchell in Fear of ParaIysis-Plca Rejected by Education Board.

New York, Sept. 21.-The League of Parents associations, representing 16,00O public school pupils, appealed today to the mayor to prevent the board of education from opening the schools next Monday. Members of the league assert that infantile paraly- sis has not yet subsided to a point where it would be safe to assemble the children in the schools.
 Their decision to appeal to the mayor was taken after board of edu- cation had rejected their demand that the opening of the schools be post poned until it was clear that the dan- ger of again spreading the disease was past.
