problem, decided, and by most de-
cisive majority, to prohibit fraterni-
ties among the publicly supported
schools and colleges of that city.
The discussion of this topic at this
juncture, Immediately preceding the
opening Of the schools, is pertinent,
and among the most Interesting con-
tributions to the subject is the fol-
lowing, which is part of an article
appearing in the Home Herald, con-
tributed by Charles A. blanchard,
president of Wheaton college:
No intelligent person who studies
our educational system at the present
time can doubt that the fraternity
movement is another of the peris Of
modern education. Boys like to be
men. They like to become men as
quickly as possible; and, unfortunate
ly, it seems more natural for them to
initiate the defects and vices than
the sterling qualities of those whom
they admire. Among the illustrations
of this general truth is the rage for
secret organization which has recent
ly taken possession of our country
from ocean to ocean. Boards of edu-
cation in cities have been compelled
to take action, Superintendents of
schools and principals of high schools,
as well as high school teachers, al
most without exception declare that
these fraternities are seriously injur-
ing the young people of the schools
where they are found.
Everywhere that the subject has
been fairly developed, so far as we
can learn. the boards of education are
prohibiting these organizations. The
fraternities are appealing to the
courts. and the courts are sustaining
the board of education; and we may
hope that the movement already
checked may be destroyed. But that
the fraternity movement is a peril no
one can doubt.
1t is unfortunate that the presi-
dents and professors of colleges have
seemed to be far less intelligent, or
less careful in respect to this matter
than the high school men of our
country. In multitudes of our col
leges secret societies are permitted
to do, without let or hindrance, what
the boards of education and the fac
ulties of high schools are seeking to
prevent. The same snobbery, the
same petty prosecutions, the same
tendencies toward smoking, drinking,
and licentiousness. which
have caused the high schools to reject
the fraternity, are clearly evidenced
in the fraternity life of the colleges.
Yet the governing boards of the lat
ter seem to be ignorant, unable or un-
willing to do the thing which the sit
uation requires.

SOUTH OUTLINING wHIsKEY.

From the Literary Digest is taken
the following interesting review of
the present status of legislation af-
fecting the liquor traffic in the south:
The prohibition victory in Georgia
will be followed by similar action in
other southern states if the hopes and
fears of whiskeys foes and friends
ae correct. One of its most bitter
foes, The Union Signal (Chicago), or
gan of the W. c. 7. T., says 'it is
generally conceded that Mississippi
will soon follow the example of Geor-
gia," notes that a prohibition bill is
before the Alabama legislature, de-
clares that Texas is ripe for state
prohibition" and adds that at seems
certain that, one by one, the south
ern states will speedily swing into the
prohibition column" On the other
side President Taylor, of the Nation
al Wholesale Liquor Dealers associ-
alton of America, made this confirm
atory declaration in his report to the
annual convention at Atlantic City
last June:
During the past 12 months the pro-
hibitionists have made grave inroads
on our business. Especially is this
true in the south, and unless we work
with more energy and determination
to stop this tidal wave every state in
the south will be closed to u.s."
Striking evidence of the south's at
titude toward the liquor traffic ap-
pears in the report of the laws pass
ed by the Texas legislature at its re-
cent session, a copy of which is cour-
teously sent US by Mr.. L. T. Dashiell,
the secretary of state. A large amount
of legislation restricting the liquor
traffic in Texas appears in this vol
ume, not the least notable being a
law to prevent express companies
bringing packages of liquor into no.
license districts. This is effected by
law (as its title reads) imposing
occupation tax on persons, firms, or
corporations handling liquors C. o.
D." The Occupation tax" is fixed
town concerned is empowered to add
a tax of $3.50 more. Another law
makes 1t a misdemeanor to drink in
toxicating liquor on any passenger
train in Texas; and a third imposes an
Occupation tax" Of $4,000 a year on
''all retail dealers in Notwithstanding
malt liquor" in no-license districts,
and provides for an additional $1,000
tax by the local authorities. The fact
that the first of these laws passed
the house by vote of 104 to and
the senate by vote of 20 to 0,
throws light on the general attitude
of the legislature.
The New York World sketches the
present prohibition situation in the
following informing paragraphs:
"The passing Of prohibition law in
Georgia adds a southern state to the
stronghold of the 'drys' in the far
west, Kansas; in the extreme east,
Maine; in the extreme north, North
Dakota, and in the heart of the
Union, Tennessee.
"At the beginning Of the year the
number Of people living under statu-
tory prohibition In Maine, North Da-
kota and Kansas was only $500, 900.
BY the end of the year Tennessee and
Georgia will nearly have trebled the
number.
Georgia is the largest state that
