A recent published statement that
the fraternity Is existing In direct

In 1908, the board, then believing
that the fraternity was necessary to

These regulations covered the
places of meeting, the membership of
the societies to an extent, and the de.
pertinent of the members while i'm
school. They are the rules under
which the fraternity Is now governed.
A previous rule, nullified by the
restrictions mentioned above Is as fol
lows:
There shall be no Organization of
any society or association among pu-
pills as such, except that musical.
literary and athletic societies or clubs
OF open membership whose boards Of
governors shall be composed of equal
msmbers OF teachers ana pupils, ana

OF schools, the same to be reported to

Another provision that the board
added when the present regulations
were adopted, was. that II the rules
were not SUFFICIENT for the proper
conduct of Fraternity affairs. a high
school principal must bring the mat.
ter before the board
No principal has as yet taken any
direct action against the societies.
That the fraternity question is not
likely TO be settled for considerable
length of time was intimated today by

make a correction regarding the
article in The Day Book entitled
Hampers Won" There was no need
of a strike. The question was first
carefully weighed, and, when honest
ly answered, it was found that it
was right to ask for more money on
some work. The matter was present

stated in your paper. Kindly publish
