1000 SCHOOL GIRLS

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Two
thousand girls attending the
Erasmus high school, Brook
Ign, have decided to ignore an
edict issued by the assistant
principal prohibiting the wear
Ing of "rats' and "puffs" In
their hair.
The order created such con.
sternation that the girls held
a mass meeting after school
hours and agreed that the new
rule would not be obeyed, and
that all girls who so desired
might continue the wearing Of
the "puffsp and "rats," and
have the support ct all the
girl students.
The school faculty has taken
a determined stand In the mat
ter, and II ls expected that a
clash will result between the
pupils and the teaching staff.
