I MAY ALIEN mm ADULTS ADULTS I ATTEND CHICAGO SCHOOLS I I CHICAGO Aug 31 There There is so far faras faras faras as I know no law bearing on the subject sub sub- jed of ot the admission lon of ot alien aBen adults to the he public schools of or Chicago said President Urion of the tho board of education lon tion yesterday All AU we have havo to go by is the he board of or education rules and certainly the they hey do not prohibit the attendance of ot adult aliens allons While I can see no reason renson for tor making a hard and fast rule barring such persons persons persons per per- sons from school privileges I would havo have such individual put in a separate application lon tion and when these applications could be acted on singly In that way we could exclude anyone we deemed undesirable undo unde without giving offense or dl discriminating discriminating dis dis- criminating against the others Heretofore wo we have admitted adult I aliens to the primary grades but now comes an adult Chinese and an adult Japanese asking permission to attend the high schools This opens a a. broad question and until I I. I have havo consulted with ith the attorney of the board I am nm not prepared re pared to discuss the matter at length further urther than to sa say that there is a a. question ques- ques tIon lon In my mind whether or not It would be advisable to allow a full grown man manof manof manor of or any nationality to mingle with the pupils from 14 H to 16 years ears of or ago age as would be bo the case were these applications granted Tho The first fall meeting of ot the board of education will bo ho held today when tho the question of admitting adult aliens to tho the higher grades of tho the public schools will willbe willbe willbe be decided once for all aU
