This case involves questions of alleged racial discrimination in relation to public school facilities in a school district of Missouri. We have withheld decision in it until disposition by the Supreme Court of the several cases pending before it on the validity of segregation generally in public school systems. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka and the companion cases thereof — popularly referred to as the Segregation Cases—347 U.S. 483, 74 S.Ct. 686, have now rendered moot legally any consideration of whether separate schools, which have been provided, constitute equal facilities in fact, as the measure of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.

For this reason, the judgment in this case is vacated, and the cause is remanded for such further consideration or other proceedings as may be appropriate or necessary, if any, in the situation existing, as related to the decision in the Segregation Cases. Cf. State of Florida ex rel. Hawkins v. Board of Control of Florida, and the other cases similarly disposed of by the Supreme Court, 347 U.S. 971, 74 S.Ct. 783. Each party will pay its own costs in this Court.

Judgment vacated and cause remanded.
