At the second meeting fraternity and
sorority members presented their de-
fense.

cieties be permitted to continue under
faculty supervision and that the commit
tee hear the parents. The latter request
was granted
Considerable interest centers on the
meeting to be held tomorrow. Frat"
members say the mothers and fathers of
practically all of them will declare that
their children have been benefited by
belonging to secret societies.
Fraternity members have been specu-
lating on the decision to be reached by
the school authorities
The High School Teachers Union has
taken a stand against the organizations
Teachers from Mckinley, Business and
Eastern High Schools have petitioned the
special committee to abolish the "frats. -

Fraternity and sorority members find
hope in the statement Of William T. GAL
hher. chairman OF the inquiry committee

Editorial

1t gave US a feeling of TN
usual pleasure the other even
ing when three of our Bundle
Wrappers carried away prizes
two of them frsts-at the Bun
die Wrappers Contest held in
the Casino.
We might say, for the benefit
of any who do not know about
the contest, that it was for
neatness in wrapping, economy
of wrapping materials and
quickness.
Properly wrapping bundles is
a science. What a nuisance it
is to buy a small piece of ma
terial and have some young
Miss" or "Mr." put enough pa
per around it to cover a trunk.
We have always encouraged
our younger help" to train
their eyes so'that they can tell
at a glance the size paper that
will cover the package neatly
and completely.
We honestly believe you will
find OUR packages the neatest
wrapped bundles in the city. At
least the contest judges thought
so.

AN UNFAMILIAR INDUSTRY.


Consideration of the objects Of famil-
lar usage, their origin and manufac-
ture, is always of interest and makes
less commonplace, as well as gives
new interest to prosaic things.
One of the greatest incentives to
such tigation-though perhaps
not generally realized-is the ques-
toning of children. That their devel-
opment and mental growth depend
to great extent upon the way in
which these questions are answered,
is recognized by all, and has been the
cause of much investigation into the
manufacture of articles of which little
has heretofore been known. With all
the delving into processes and early
histories thus brought about, 1t seems
strange that a more intimate knowl-
edge of wall paper has not resulted
and that so little has been written re-
garding 1t. Even q close search of the
encyclopedias and libraries throws
but scant light upon its early history
and apparently but little has ever
been written regarding its manufac-
ture.
The process is an interesting one
