SCHOOLS UPHELD
IN JUDGE COLES
DECISION TODAY.
Case Is Outcome Recent
Controversy Over
Pupils

Holding that the school authori-
ties of the FL Centric elementary
schools were acting in good faith
and to the best of their ability in
refusing admittance at school OF
children who had not submitted 10
physical examination, Judge
Franklin j. Cole handed down his
decision in the case of Cass versus
the school board and Superintend-
ent A. P. Shibley today, in which
he ordered that the petition for
writ of mandate be denied.
In giving his opinion, Judge Cole
said: GAS far back as 1890 the
courts have upheld school boards in
their actions excluding pupils for
reasons of health. Although there
have been a large number OF cases
whose line of reasoning has been
remarkably similar to that required
in the one just heard, there have
been none, so far as [ can find,
which have arisen over trachoma
infections.
In arriving at his decision in the
ease, Judge Cole cited large num-
Der of cases in which the courts
have held that the rules and regula-
tions adopted by the school noards
were matters to be decided by such
school boards rather than the courts
and in which it was shown that
issuance of health regulations ex-
Guiding pupils from school, who did
rot qualify in matters of health, is
not dependant upon the actual ex-
istence of contagious or infeetionus
disease.
''It,, is not incumbent upon the
court TO determine what means
should be employed in the combat
ting of the disease, trachoma, Judge
Cole held. cit. is not the court s
duty to determine whether the school
authorities are pursuing the proper
methods of preserving the health of
the school children.
May Effect Other Cases
"The court will require of the
school authorities the performance
only of those duties imposed upon
them by law, and when they have
acted, their acts will not be inter

 But as you gather strength; as new strength comes 10 you, you are going on to finer and bigger and better things You will meet diffi- culties; but the splendid personality and influence of the officers of this class that have made the class what it Is win carry 1t on to success Many a time I have thought l was hindrance rather than a help for the reason that you depended on me rather than on your own ability and influence to put the Bible class over. Now every man is going to feel that he must do his part. and every man is going to work
 What joy it has been 10 be associated with these great factor ies. have visited every one. These great factories are behind the Bible class. If they are not they should be. Practically every man here is related in some way to the great manufacturing establishments in New Britain. You have a splen- did lot of officers After a time you will find the leader that you want, and if you men will Just con- tinue to give the Bible class the thought, the determination, the time and strength that you have given in the past, this will not be a joke but really true, I will come back and see bigger, finer and better Bible class.
 At first many came for the ex- citement, Now we have settled down to about 500 men who are ab. solutely interested You have my blessing. We will never be sepa- rated in thought and affection. It has been one of the great joys of my life to be associated with yau men--S4 different nationalities- every kind of belief that exists we have 1t here, yet we have all been one. Why? Because we have never tried nor attempted to do a selfish thing. We have talked about those things of interest to all of us. l call you men to witness today that never has anything been said to in fuence any man away from his church, but toward his church.
