is convinced the high school 'frats'' are
still operating, Director W. G. Mcmillan,
member Of the city board of educa-
ton, had not gathered sufficient data to
present his case to the board at its
meeting last night.
Director Mcmillan has reliable infor-
nation that the "frats" are still op-
Grating and holding meetings under the
guise of a debating society" The ac-
ton that goes on at the meeting, so IL
is said, is termed TO be practice in
parlia mentary law"

clever the debating society can
easily transact all business that for
merly came before the frat"
