Dethmers, J.
(dissenting). I am in full accord with the concluding paragraph in the main portion of Mr. Justice Black’s opinion in this case, appearing before that part subsequently added and denominated “Supplement”, which reads as follows:
“The question of causal connection is controlling in this case. It was resolved below against the plaintiff. He, bearing the burden of factual persuasion before the board, failed to convince a majority of its members. Since this Court does not hear and' decide de novo on certiorari to the board, affirmance is in order.”
In no wise do I share in Justice Black’s criticisms of the majority opinion, written by Mr. Justice Kelly, in Baas v. Society for Christian Instruction, 371 Mich 622, which I signed when it was presented because I agreed with it then. I continue to be well content with it now.
Accordingly, I am for affirmance but oppose remand.
Kelly, J., concurred with Dethmers, J.
