PREDICT ABOLITION

Persons In Close Touch With
Board of Education Believe
Adverse Action Is Certain.

High school secret societies are 70
be abolished.
Other organizations, open to all stu
dents, Will be formed to replace them
This was confidently predicted this
afternoon by persons in close touch
with the board of education and the
special committee of the board which
has been investigating the entire sub
ject of high school fraternities and
sororfties and their activities
According to persons who are in
close touch with the situation, the
special committee headed by William
r. Galliher this afternoon will bring
in a report to the entire board asking
that the high school secret societies
be abolished. At the same time their
lease of life Is to be extended for a
year and a half. SO that none of the
friendships which may have been fos-
tered by them may be severed-that is
to say, all present members may con-
tinue as such until their graduation,
but no new applicants may be pledged.
Fight on Report Expected.
In all likelihood the report of the COM
mi,tee will be fought by certain mem
bers of the board. At the same time IL
is understood that at least a majority
of the members are opposed to the or
sanizations, and If any effort Is made to
amend the report or change it In any
way, SO as to regulate the societies or
place them on probation. it probably will
result in their immediate abolition
Certain of the members Of the board
are understood to be strongly in favor
of the immediate abolition of the secret
societies Others are said to feel Just
as strongly that the bodies should be
allowed to continue their existence. The
remaining members are believed to be in
favor of the gradual abolition of the So
cieties-that is, the year-and- "a half
plan.
Result of Compromise.
The report of the committee is under
stood to be the result of a compromise
effected after a long debate at the meet
ing Monday afternoon. Inasmuch as
the majority of the boards members are
understood to be in favor of abolition
of the organization, either Immediately
or by the gradual process, 1t is gen.
orally conceded by those in close touch
with the situation that either the report
