FRATS ARE QUIET
No Trouble in Topeka High
School This Year.
Students Are Required to Sign
Strong Pledge.
DAWS0N'S FAVORABLE OPINION
Warns Teachers Against At
tempted Summer Control.
Schools Cannot Censor Pupils
During Vacation.
DAWSON'S FAVORABLE OPINION

The old question of high school
''frats" hobs up every year. Every
student of the Topeka high school is
required to sign pledge that he or
she will refrain from having anything
to do with anything that resembles
fraternity or sorority.
At Wichita those pupils who took a
part in fraternity activities in the sum-
mer vacation have been barred from
school by the authorities However,
the attorney general, John S. Dawson,
has submitted an opinion that favors
the students in question. The opinion
follows:
Teachers and school boards have no
dominion or control or any power of
censorship whatsoever concerning the
conduct of students during the summer
vacation. During that season the per-
Sona1 and private conduct of these
young people is exclusively under the
supervision and control Of their par
ents or other natural or legal guar
dams. I should think that school
teachers and school boards should not
thus seek to enlarge their jurisdiction
1t is not expected that any effort will
be made to revive the fraternities at
Topeka this year. The pledge that the
pupils are asked to sign is clothed in
no uncertain language. 1t follows:
State law regarding membership in
secret organizations in high schools.
Sec 232. High school fraternities; I'M
lawful to belong to. (7752) 1t shall be
unlawful for the pupils of any high
schools to participate in be members

to eXpel such student for failure or re-
fusal to comply with the requirements of
this act. claws 1907, Oh. 320 Sec. p

hereby certify that L am not 2 member

ity, any organization that has any

posed in whole or in part of Topeka high
school pupils, and whose existence is

public schools, whose activities have
any effect upon the discipline scholar

tet, Messrs Akers, Mayberry, owen

introduction of a new addition to the
local musical world in the person of
Mr. Jordan, and his deep bass was
heard last night with pleasure. The
Haines orchestra contributed several
numbers which were enjoyed exceed
ingly.
New President Optimistic.
Optimism was the keynote of the
inaugural address of the new presi-
dent. He was one of the charter men,
bers of the organization twenty years
ago and the enthusiasm expressed
last evening arises from the faith
which a long and active membership
has aroused in him. He declared he
would attempt to make his admins
tration stand for the progress and up
building of the city and community
and to this end he besought the ear
nest support and cooperation of every
member and particularly of the board
of managers.
Past History Recalled.
The first address of the evening was
by T. c. Taylor. one of the founders
of the association who recalled the
history of the organization since its
birth twenty years ago. He recounted
the ups and downs and various vicis-
situdes which the club had encounter
ed during its early existence and the
numerous expedients which were used
to revive it when life began to wane
In this connection he paid a splendid
tribute to ]. F. Robinson the retiring
president, declaring that many years
ago, when the association was in the
slough of despond after the addition
of gymnasium, card tables, pool and
billiard tables had all in turn rejuve-
mated the club for an hour and then
had lost their attraction, that a man
who was i'll at the time was secured
to take charge of the rooms. This
man was Mr.. Robinson, he said, who
by his personality and attention to the
rooms soon had them rehabitated and
thus aroused the tagging spirits of the
members.
In the list os achievements of the
club in the past, Mr.. Taylor listed the
creation of public highways connect
ing up the county, the establishment
of the Pendleton Woolen Mills and
the putting of the community behind
the Roundup.
Before commencing his address, Mr.
Taylor took occasion to correct the re.
ports in Portland papers to the effect
that he had favored a 100000 ap.
preparation for the Panama Pacific
fair at the time he represented the
Commercial association at the confer.
ence between Commercial clubs and
the legislature. He declared ne had
mentioned no sum but had simply
stated that his organization would bt
satisfied with whatever sum the legis
lature in its judgment saw fit to make
