 David L. Dunn. . former members of the school committee. and Mrs. Laura P. Mangan. . member of the present committee. Clifford Allen of Milbrook, N. Y... . 1s year old boy who was suspended from Suffield school was barred from entering New Britain Senior High school by . vote of the school board yesterday afternoon.
 His case was brought to the at tention of the board members by At. torney Dunn who said he took an in- terest in the boys case because he knew he was good young man.
 According to Attorney Dunn the boy admitted he was suspended for breaking the rules and that he was guilty. He was friendly at Gumeld with many New Britain boys and He wanted to be near his friends and he wanted to gain an education in the New Britain high school. Mr. Dunn 1aid.
 Tho reason he did not return hens was because he would not bs given credit there for . whole year of study. If he were allowed to spend the last month here he would be able to get high school diploma and could enter an embalminx school in Boston. He intends to fol- low in the footsteps of hts father who is an undertaken in Mtlbrook.
 MT. Dunn said his father came here and established residence for him at the Y. M. c. A.
 According to the attorney, Allen is . fine boy and everybody speaks we'll Of him. He violated a rule at suffisld and was suspended. He was friendly with Harry Battaglia. New Britain boy who was formerly en- e rolled at Suffield, and he came here to visit him on his way home. The New Britain boy is now | pupil at the high school. Mir. Dunn said.
 Attorney Dunn asked that Allen be admitted on probation and his first slip would bring about his dis missal. The boy is willing to pay tu- ition and to make up his back work, MT. Dunn said.
 To prove the boy was industrious, Mir. Dunn said he has taken a job at the freight depot while awaiting the decision of the board.
 Holmes in Opposition
 After Mir. Dunn had concluded his talk the matter was laid on the table until the latter part of tho meeting. When the subject was again taken up MT. Holmes was called upon to explain his reason.
 He said the boy came here with Battaglia asking to be admitted to the New Britain school but the superintendent did not feel he should. After had telephoned the principal of the Suffield school I decided it was better for the school not to admit him." Mir. Holmes said. Some time later. MT. Holmes added, Attorney Dunn visited him and he agreed to. reopen the case.
 MI. sMelme4 and Principal l.. F. sIsae went to suftield and iupesti- gated the case. Information rS- ceived from the Euffietd authoritica was such that it was not agreeable to him to change his decision. Mir. Holmes said.
 Mrs. Mangan said she knew the hoy and had an opportunity to ob- serve him. He is we'll hammered and comes from a good family. she said. It was Mrs. Mangan's opinion that it would be a sound move to allow the boy an opportunity to complete his education and save him the task of reviewing the entire years work again. He had paid his years tuition at Suffield shortly before he was ex- pelled. Mrs. Mangan declared.
 She argued it would be helping the boy and it would not cost the city
