Encourage Unwholesome Sc
crecy, Another Charge Made.

New York, Feb. S.-A nationwide
movement for the adjustment of
Greek letter fraternities and sororities
IN high schools has been started by
the board of superintendent of the
New York schools Their recommen-
dation is based on reports received
from school superintendent in 81 of
the chief cities of the country. all but
one of whom expressed himself in dis
approval of the secret societies.
The New York board charges s'that
such fraternities in high schools are
harmful, in that they foster an I'M
democratic spirit, lead to excuses and
the formation of vicious habits and to
the organization of cliques to control
school affairs
Above all, fraternities in the high
schools are condemned as "encourag
ing an unwholesome spirit of secrecy
among adolescents at a time of life
when it is most necessary that there
snail be frankest and most unreserved
confidence between parent and chill
dren.''
1t is explained that the structures
made by the committee against high
school fraternities are based largely on
the youth of the pupils who form the
membership, and do not apply equally
to college fraternities. As a rule, it is
said, such high school fraternities
fundamental traits of the college fra
ternities. perverting these into snob-
bishness and q domineering attitude
towards pupils outside of the fraterni-
ties.
There are some fifty fraternities in
the high schools of this city, all of
which will be abolished if the board
of education approves the report of
the superintendent.
In contradistinction to the move
ment started in the east. bill was in
troduced in the Kansas senate on
Tuesday asking for a repeal of the law
forbidding high school fraternities and
sororities in the state. 1t was intro
duced by Senator George H. Hodges of
Olathe by request.
