BAN ON EXPENSIVE DRESSES

Protests from every high school princi-
pal against the time-honored custom OF
holding the annual high school cadet
competition late in the school year were
received by the board Of education yes
terday afternoon at the semf-monthly
meeting in the Franklin School. The
principals were unanimous in their opin-
ions that holding the drill in the hot
weather Is dangerous to the boys health
and strength. They also are Of one mind
in the opinion that the excitement Of
being keyed to q lins posst of military
training works too strongly on the ca
dets' nerves ut a time when teachers are
straining every effort to get the boys in
condition to stand examinations at the
close of the year.
Col. B. r. Ross, the military expert of
the schools, held contrary opinions. The
principals want to hold the drill In the
cool spring weather and choose the White
Lot instead of the base ball grounds.
Col. Ross does not think that the boys
are too soft to stand competitive drill
in possible warm weather, and says
that the White Lot is not good place
for spectators.
The whole matter is being thrashed out
by COMMITTEES OF board of education
members composed of Capt. Oyster, w.
v. Cox and R r. Horner. An announce

hired rigs and other costly f1ummery that
has hitherto been part and parcel of q
high school commencement. At the
recommendation of Supt. Stuart, who
cited distressing incidents of girls leaving
school before graduation because they
could not afford graduation dresses equal
to those OF their classmates, the board
sent out a strong appeal to high school
principals to do everything tending
toward simplicity. Announcement that
the commandments for the most part
would be separate affairs instead Of COM
bining all the high school exercises. was
made yesterday, and it was planned to
hold daytime exercises which 1t is be-
lieved will tend to do away with the ex-
pensive hnery that has been criticised so
strongly by school teachers, parents,
board members and others.
In making his Recommendation to the
board, Supt. Stuart said:
1T Is the elaborate graduation gown
and in some instances the cost of hiring
carriages which bear heavily upon
parents of limited means. A few cases
were reported in the past in which girls
who fairly earned diplomas withdrew
from school before graduauon rather
than appear without the conventional
graduating dress"
