.HINDU'S IURBAN
CAUSES TROUBLE /.
HIRA SINGH PERSISTS IN WEAR
ING m IN sCHooLRooM.
Authorities Of East High May Call
Upon Board Of Education to Settle
Question Of Whether Head Covering
Should Be Regarded as a Stu
dent Wears It as Mark Of Caste.

AS a result Of the enrolment Of Hira
Singh, high caste Hindu who has
come to Minneapolis in search Of an
education, East High school authorities
face question of discipline unique in
high school history.
Is the turban worn by Mr.. Singh a
hat, and should he be permitted to wear
it inside the high school building7 This
IS the question of the hour at the East
High, and it is possible that the board
OF education may be called upon to set
tie the status of the Hindu's head COW
ering.
When Hirda Singh came to Mime
apolls two weeks ago he was CARRIED in
flannel trousers, tan shoes and coat Of
the latest cut. Clothed like a European,
there was nothing about him to attract
attention except his urban.
When Hira Singh found that he
mines at the university without fur
Their preparation, he decided to enter
the high school. He appeared on the
first day of school, wearing his tur-
ban, and when he entered abhe build
ing and was assigned his desk in one
OF the rooms, he did not remove it.
With him the turban is q mark of his
rank, to be worn at all times I When
ne rose TO- recite he still wore his tur-
ban, and when asked to remove it by
g 2 teacher, he politely but firmly re.
fused. When the dismissal bell rang
Hira still wore his turban, and he Is
still wearing it, in school and out.
Why the question is being discussed
by the school authorities, Singh is fast
becoming one Of the most popular stu
dents in the high school. He wears
a beard and is 80 years old, but he
is making friends with his classmates
and in the matter Of the wearing Of
port of the students. The coaches Of
the East Side high-school team have
approached Singh on the subject o,
football, and it is possible that he may
become a candidate for the team.
