 The strictures made by the commit tee against high school fraternities are based largely on the youth of the pupils who form the membership, and do not apply equally to college fra ternities. AS a rule, it is said, such high school fraternities merely ape the superficial and not the fundamen- tai traits of the college fraternity, perverting these into snobbishness and a dornineering attitude toward pupils outside of the fraternities There are now some fifty fraternities in the high schools of this city, of which some schools have chapters in as many. as twelve. Some of the fra ternities, it was said, have meeting rooms outside the school, where the. pupils are led to cards, smoking ands drink, before they are of an age Suf- ficiently mature to realize the nature of their drift.
 The resolution recommended by the Board of Superintendents was laid be- fore the Board of Education on Mon day, and will be reported back to the Schools, which meets on Feb. 20. The board will take action on the resolu- ton at it's next meeting, probably Son Feb. 23.
