    E. J. Foley et al., Appellants, v. Pierce County School District No. 10, Respondent.
      
    
    Schools and School Districts—Actions Against—“Maintain an Action”-—Statutes. Laws 1917, p. 332, providing that no action shall he commenced or maintained against a school district for non-contractual acts or omissions of officers or employees relating to playgrounds, prohibits the plaintiff from prosecuting an appeal from an adverse judgment, after the taking effect of the law; since to prosecute an appeal is to maintain an action.
    Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Pierce county, Clifford, J., entered June 1, 1917, upon the verdict of a jury rendered in favor of the defendant, in an action for wrongful death.
    Affirmed.
    
      Gordon & Easterday, G. C. Nolte, and Carroll A. Gordon, for appellants.
    
      Fred G. Remann, Harry E. Phelps, and A. B. Bell, for respondent.
    
      
      Reported in 172 Pac. 819.
    
   Per Curiam.

This action was begun on the 27th day of November, 1916, to recover damages for the death of a minor son of appellants. A trial resulted in a verdict in favor of the defendant. Judgment was entered on the 1st day of June, 1917. Thus the case presents a perfect corollary to Bruenn v. North Yakima School District No. 7, 101 Wash. 374, 172 Pac. 569. To proser cute an appeal is to maintain an action. The case falls under the bar of the act of 1917, Laws of 1917, p. 332. Affirmed.
