END OF THE SCHOOL FRATER-
MITES

The Board Of Education yesterday
afternoon did what The Times has
been urging for several years: took a
definite stand on the question Of
high school secret societies. In
abolishing the fratern'ties and sorori-
ties. the board has act in the light
Of the experience Of other ,,s.sr and
in accord with the most advanced
thought regarding college societies
Of a similar nature.
Whether the societies were good
or bad In themselves, is still open TO
question. But the Rev. DR.. Van
Schaick, jr., president Of the board,
stated the essential reason why they
have no place in a public school
system. All taxpayers contribute
alike for the support Of high schools,
and all tho children that 20 TO these
schools are entitled to share alike
in their benefits. IL there Is good in
the fraternities there is all the more
reason why they should be abolished
or some means devised by which all
pupils can share this good.
When everybody Is admitted to
these organizations they lose their
attraction and are Invested Of their
prime characteristic, exclusiveness.
Thus their limitations are plainly
apparent.
The Board Of Education deserves
credit for facing this issue sauarely
and eourageously in the face Of
strong feeling from the minority who
wished the societies to continue.

Out OF the shinins OF remembered

Out OF the seas blue gaze,
And the suns long backward glance
OF gold,
I will make a song for singing.
And cast IL In q deathless mold
so when my soul comes. feebly wing
ing,
Down through the white gloom Of the
winters even,
Like a bird from the gates OF heav'n,
I will have still a borrowed air
or the day that was warm and fair,
To guard my spirit from despair.
Out OF the suns look, and the seas
voice, and the worlds sweet breath,
1 will make a song against the time
OF DEATH
