Former Athletic Star, Now in

For Sororities.

Robert Newly. 1879 Euclid stree
northwest, one of the most popula
athletes who graduated from Contra
High School I'm 1920. In letter writ
ten The Times today defends hisl
school fraternities and sororities.
Newly, who played football. basket
ball and baseball, is now employees
at the Library Of Congress and re
ceived high honcTs at George Wash
ington University last term. He is |
college fraternity man.
The letter reads:
DEAR EDITOR:
The fraternities should be given a
fair chance to present their side OF
the question to the School Board be-
fore any action 10 taken as Is provid-
ed for in the new ruling. The board
seems to have acted ON the question
without enlightening themselves OF
the benefits which the average high
school hoy gets from the fraternity.
The well-known fact that nowadays
the great ma jority of high school
students cannot attend COLLEGE Is one
OF the answers to the question: why
the need OF fraternities in the High
Schools" The age in which the
average boy attends the high school
II the period In which he Is most
susceptible and as a result the com
paniohs he chooses and the ideals he
forms should be selected with the
greatest of care. Should ne be per-
mitted by his parents to join just any
fraternity that offers him a bid, as
seems to have been the case cited
by the board, ahen his parents are at
fault. While belonging TO ma
tional fraternity Of good standing he
is benefited by the advice of the
older members and by it's principles.
He is continually urged to hold up
the standard Of the fraternity and to
do this is of course receiving a d.
rect benefit. While attending meet
ings at the members home instead
of congregating on the street cor
ners, as all boys have tendency
to do. he is building UP friendship
with his companions which will
remain with him for a lifetime. The
parents are able to see and form
definite ideas of the other members
at these meetings. and should they
not be OF the right type then II is
the parents duty to cause him TO
resign from the fraternity.
IL the School Board could only
recognize the fact that the fraterni-
ties are not trying to oppose educa-
ton and democracy. but to promote
spirit of friendship and to urge
their members to excel both in their
studies and other school activities
and, instead OF trying the method of
abolition would try a little regula-
ton, they would be Immediately
Joined in with by all the fraternities
OF good standing and the type of
fraternity which has been brought
to the attention of the School Board
would become extinct.

PETITION TO DROP NAME
OF WASHINGTON DENIED

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-George His
comb Washington Of 10 Manhattan
avenue, must remain a Washington.
His petition to drop that part Of his
name and be known merely as George
Hiscomb. the maiden name of his
mother, was denied yesterday by City
Court Justice Callahan, who said:
That any man could wish to drop
a family name Of such great distinc.
ton is incomprehensible. Many good
American parents have felt that the
name George Washington added dis.
tinction and honor to their own in
bestowing IL as a given name to their
offspring. Can all these be wrong?
Have they bestowed upon a son a
name that means embarrassment TO
him in future life? No good reason
for thinking so can exist. The petit
toner is mistaken. The name IL
worthy of the man: may the man be
ever worthy Of the name"
Washington petition said the sim
ilarity Of his own name and that of
the Father OF His Country" has
given him great notoriety. and as
such causes him embarrassment"
