From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 25, 1906: “At a mass meeting in San Francisco yesterday, Japanese decided to start a fund to carry injunction proceedings to force admission of Japanese children to the public schools. The issue has reached Washington where discussions are being held about the fairness of the policy. : The local YMCA is working to raise money to provide more attractive and friendly settings for members, with an eye to getting more young people involved to keep them from turning to less acceptable ventures.”
