WOULD PUT A BAN
 ON SCHOOL TRAITS
Hartford School Board Is Asked
 To Abolish Secret Societies

Hartford, Sept. 9-At a meeting of the high school committee yesterday afternoon, a resolution was introduced by Committeeman J. N. H. Campbell which if adopted will abolish the fra ternities and the sorrities now in the Hartford public high school, require them to give up charters and cease limitations immediately.
 At the last meeting of the commit tee MT. Campbell announced his i'm tention of introducing a resolution for the termination of three fraternitieS and three sororities now in the school.
 The fraternities are the Alpha Del ta Sigma, the Lambda Sigma and the Theta Sigma. The sororities which will be affected by the resolution, if passed, are the Alpha Alpha, the Knappa Phi and the Sigma Sigma.
 The oldest fraternity, Gamma, gave up it's charter a year ago. That or ganizat tion for nearly fifteen years Oc- cupied a leading place in the life and work of the high school. Three of it's principal members suddenly resign ed, and the alumni. after some little consideration, voted to give up the charter. Gamma had always been in charge of the issuing of the Owl. the high school annual. Gamma, on re- tiring, delegated the guardianship of that publication to the senior class.
 Gamma also left fund of several hundred dollars, the interest of which is to be devoted to the giving of a prize each year in Greek scholarship. The Mask and Triangle club, which had also been controlled by the Gam
 ma, was turned over to the Alpha Del la Sigma fraternity. Many of the prominent young business and pro- fessional men of Hartford are mem bers of Gamma.
 High school students report that AL pha Delta Sigma is not in a prosper ous condition. There are only five active members, whereas the usual membership of the local fraternities has been from nine to ten.
 The members of Lambda Sigma are now active iR the control of the ath- letics of the high school, while the Theta Sigma devotes most of it's time and efforts toward securing a monop- oIy of the school officers.
 Several years ago the leaders in each fraternity got together and agreed to approach only members of the two upper classes for membership. This has resulted in conf1ning the members to the junior and senior classes. The sororities never adopted such rul- ing and have recruitel their new nem- bers from all four classes.
 The chief argument against the '1frats'' advanced by those opposed to their existence is that they are un- democratic and tend to upset the so- cia1 and athletic life of the school. Only a small proportion of the boys are ever asked to join, and the or ganizations have long been known as exclusive social centers.

 The eighth of September, 1513, found James feudal army encamped on F1od- den Field. The Earl of Surrey, with James and his own country, so that '@The English line stretched east and
 west,
 And southward were their faces set; The Scottish proudly northward prest,
 And manfullY their foes they met"
 On the afternoon of the ninth of September the battle conlme menced It was brief, terrible, ferocious. It has been said that in the conduct of the action James was guilty of every fault brave unto death. At the head of chosen warriors he charged upon Eng lands commander, and fell dead with in a lance's length of the Earl of Sur rey. It was as foolhardy a charge as that of the six hundred, and when the Scots fled in disorder they left TO- 900 dead behind.
 Besides King James and his son, the slain included the archbishop of St. Andrews, twelve earls, fourteen hundreds of knights and gentlemen.
 Who is the worlds worst human monster?
 Those familiar with his dreadful crimes will immediately award the sinister pre-eminence to Jesse Pome- roy, the torturer and slayer of chill dren, who, two-score years ago, held Boston in reign of terror Ponl- eroy is still undergoing lifelong ex- piation in a, solitary cell in the Char lestown, Mass, prison, where he was lodged thirty-seVen years ago.
 Long as has been the time that has passed since Jesse Pomeroy enjoyed liberty to work his iendish will on hapless 1nnocents, his name still chilIs the hearts of Bostonians, and there are many relatives of his victims to whom the seventh of September the anniversary of his incarceration is a. day of thanksgiving. Time heals many wounds, and the world forgets and forgives many crimes, but to Jesse Pomeroy the world is unrelenting, and to all his appeals for mercy it turns a deaf ear. For this arch-fiend the future holds nothing but solitary con- hnement at hard labor in the State Prison during his natural Life"-the
