SIDE DOORS
FOR PUPILSAT
HIGH SCHOOL
Can't Use the Big Ornamental
Entrance on Delaware
Avenue
SENIORS EVEN HAVE
PRIVILEGE TAKEN AWAY

On the Delaware avenue side Of
Is a large entrance of pleasing de
sign. with ornamental iron doors and
massive steps leading 10 il. But the
entrace evidently is for ornamental
purposes and also for teachers and
a few other favored ones TO use. II
Is too aristocratic for the students to
use. The side door is good enough
for them.
And because of this condition of
ahairs under which the big Delaware
avenue entrance TO the High School
is practically reserved for show pur-
poses, while the pupils are restricted
TO the use of the side doors, the par
ents of many pupils last night were
wondering and saying not few
things about what rights the children
of taxpayers have, anyway.
IL has been a rule for a long time
that the pupils could not use doors
on Delaware evenue for entrance or
exit, but should use the side doors
along Monroe street They arc not
nearly so large as the Delaware ave-
nue. entrance, aud lead from the
ground floor to the main corridors
on which the Delaware eyenue en-
trance also opens. But the members
of the senior class always have been
accorded the honor of being permit
ted to use the Delaware avenue en-
trance. courtesy that added TO the
dignity of the class in its graduating
year.
Yesterday Principal A. H. Berlin
Of the High School. announced TO the
members of the senior class that
hereafter they. too, would be barred
from the use Of the Delaware avenue
entrance and would have TO use the
side doors on Monroe street along
with others who attend the school.
Principal Berlin said the rule was
not Of his making but had been put
into effect by the Board of Education.
Consequently there were mutterings,
and when parents Of some Of the
pupils we're told of the new rule last
night they asked what doors are for
anyway
Or. Thomas o. Cooper, a member
of the Board Of Education and OF tn,
/ committee on the High School. wher
asked about the new rule today said
the committee had heard complaints
because the seniors were permitted
TO use the Delaware avenue entrance
and other students were not, and
they decided that it would be wise
to remove this discrimination and
require all pupils 10 use the doors on
the Monroe side Of the school. A
reason for prohibiting the student
body from using the Delaware avenue
entrance, he said. was to prevent
overcrowding of the corridors within
the entrance and also to prevent con-
gregating about the main entrance
and to have conditions about the en-
trance clean and most attractive al
all times. Dr. Cooper said the COM
mittee had expected the new rule
would not be pleasing to everybody

Many passengers who travelled on

Complaint also was made that there

that separate compartments were not
