Abstract

The infant plaintiff, during the dismissal of her class, was pushed or thrown from an exterior stairway by a fellow pupil. As a consequence she sustained personal injuries. She sued the city, the board of education, the principal of the school, and the teacher. Held, that whether the principal was negligent in failing to promulgate more adequate regulations for the safe discharge of the pupils was a question of fact for the jury. Thompson v. Board of Education of City of New York, 255 App. Div. 786, 6 N. Y. S. (2d) 921 (1938).
