END HIGH SCHOOL .FRArs.Y
Trustees Take Radical Action Against
Secret Societies.


Stringent measures to crush high
school secret societies were taken by the
school management committee in Chi
cago, when it adopted resolutions forbid
ding ANY student who is known to be
member of a fraternity or sc.or;ty, or
other so-called secret society" from
representing the school in any literary or
athletic contest, or in any other public
capacity The committee also forbid
such organizations the use OF the school
name, denied them all public recognition,
including the privilege of meeting in the
school building, and called upon all prin-
clpals and teachers to acquaint parents
OF pupils attending the high schools with
the fact that the Board of Education,
Supt. Cooley and the FACULTIES of the va
rious schools unanimously condemn all
secret societies. The action of the COM
mlttee was surprise to the frat" boys
who had assembled in the board rooms
TO await the outcome of the meeting
When they heard of the action taken
they declared it would strengthen the
societies. The action of the committee
was taken as the result of petition to
the board signed by high school princi-
pals and teachers calling for the abolish
ment of the fraternities.
