CuT GRADUATION COSTS
Supt keeler Urges Girl Graduates Ia
Eliminate Costly Gown

Supertendent OF public instruction
Fred L. Keeler urges the sweet girl
graduate" TO eliminate the costly grad
uation gown In favor OF a simple dress
Supertendent keeler points 10 the
fact that many girls leave school on
the eve Of commencement because
they are not able 10 provide as good
graduation dresses as some OF their
more fortunate classmates, and Keeler
advises school superintendent and
boards Of education 70 limit the cost
OF graduation to a certain amount.
AT this time of the year high
schools through out the state are plan
ming for graduation exercises said
Mr.. keeler "a large number OF our
colleges and high schools are simplify
ing their exercises. especially IN the
matter OF dress, in a manner to be
highly recommended The elaborate
ness OF the dresses in some schools
makes the burden OF graduation too
heavy TO be Afforded By large number
of pupils, and often worthy girls and
boys have dropped out of school rather
than burden their parents with this
expense
The public school is democratic
institution. One child has the same
right and chance as another and In no
case should any child be deprived Of
graduation ON account Of expense
some schools require the girls 10 make
their own dresses as a part of the work
in domestic science and limit the price
OF the goods TO certain amount
While all schools do not have a domes.
tic science course some action should
hc given by the superintendent and ,he
board Of education to limit the cost OF
graduation to a certain amount.
1T is my opinion that public senu.
ment will heartily endorse any effort
to make these high school graduation
ercises simple and more representa-.
tive of that democratic spirit for with
the public school system of Amcrics
stands"
