SCHOOL BOARD WILL
CLEAROUT "FRATS"
Principals Ordered to Report
Names of Pupils Who Defy
the State. Law


out sororities and secret societies in
the schools of the city. the board of
education passed a resolution yester-
day calling upon the principals of the
various schools to send in the names
of those pupils who have violated the
law, this step being a preliminary to
suspending them. All the members of
Henry Payot. who maintained his
stand of the day before in calling for
less drastic action.
Warren Manley. attorney for the in
terfraternity council declared that the
first suspension would be followed by
mandatory order from the court.
The board met the problem by the
passage of two resolutions, the first
being a mere repetition of the law,
warning students not to join or help
others in joining secret societies, and
the second calling upon the principals
TO send in the names of those who had
disobeyed the state laws
we will deal with each case indi-
vidually,' said President Thomas Ban
herman. "As soon as the names are
sent in we will give the students a
have been Informed. we will suspend
them a majority OF the board having
agreed to this plan of action"
STORM OVER .sBOY MAYOR"
The election of the boy mayor de-
veloped a storm in the board room,
the members taking emphatic excep-
tion to the action of the principals
VINO had proceeded with the elections
while the question of whether they
could be allowed to do so or not was
pending before the board.
he al a,r nd of
state of municipal hysteria," said Ban
herman.
There is nothing for US TO do" said
Payot. From what I hear all the
schools with the exception of two or
three have held the elections. The
board might as well allow the remain
ing principals to do as they please in
the matter. l think, however, that
those principals who have consented
to the disruption of the school routine
without official permission should be
severely reprimanded."
And those who have not" said Ban
herman, should be highly commended.
Were it not for the merits of the cause
I would repudiate the entire affair.
OBJECTION TO WASTE OF MONEY
The fact of the matter is, that while
these elections are being held the
money expended for the schools is be-
I
rupted and the children are in an up
roar of political enthusiasm. 1 can not
believe that the worthy people who are
behind this movement had any inten-
ton of douting the board. The blame
should be placed on the principals and
severe reprimand is due them"
Bannerman explained that the prac-
tice of using the school children for
charitable work was becoming far too
common. He pointed out that within
recent months there had been a con-
slant succession of such affairs, which.
while their purpose was laudable and
worthy, tended to demoralize the dis
cipline of the schools.
The estimated budget for the COM
ing fiscal year was adopted. This
amounts to s21S1.6s9. II is estimated
that the state will provide s6ss.2oS.
leaving Sl,4SS,4s3 to be provided by
the city and county.
