here. 1t was drawn upon a piece of

WILL DRIVE eFRATS'
FROM HIGH SCHOOL
SAN BERNARDINo BOARD OF Ed
UcATIoN so RESOLVES
Uitimatun1 to Be Delivered to stu-
dents This Morning-Must Give
Up School or Fra-
ternities

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO March s.-The
board of education has finally resolved
to drive the ''frats'' out of the high
school, At tomorrow mornings as
sembly of the high school members Of
the board of education will be present
and an ultimatum will be delivered to
the students that they must either
give up their fraternities or the school.
They will have their choice.
1t is stated that the war which has
been waged on the fraternities the
past two years by the board of educa-
ton has already practically rid the
school of the boys frats, there being
but five boys who are still a member
of such an organization, and one
fraternity has died completely, its
charter having been surrendered.
But with the girls it has been diff
ferent. They have two fraternities,
both in a flourishing condition, and
they have openly defied the board ever
since the war was started. The board
and faculty believe the move to be
made tomorrow will give the frats
their death blow and that nothing
more will be heard of the trouble
which has tended to keep the school
in an uproar for many years.
Most of the difficulties of the local
school can be traced directly to the
Ubiquitous frats," it is claimed by the
school authorities.
