SAFE, IS PREDICTION
Board of Education Member Intimates
Continuation of Societies Will
Be Permitted.

mittee having this subject in charge, at
the meeting yesterday Of the Board Of
Education. E
Mr. Galliher said that a final report to
| the board on the matter would be post
poned until the next meeting. but added
that after investigation 1t was believed
| that fraternities and sororities should not
be abolished because they served a use
full purpose in the social life of the
schools. He added, however, that 1t was
recognized that these organizations
should be regulated by the Board Of Edu-
cation.
DR.. George r. Bowerman, librarian Of
the Public Library. addressed the board
on the subject of having library rooms
in the schools for the use of the public.

estimates made for next year. This the
board decided to do.
