ADO ABOUT NOTHING

NEWS of the final hearing of a series de-
" voted TO the case of four Camden High
School boys who rebellcd against the efforts
of their teachers and the Board of Educa
tion to limit the undesirable work of fra
ternities in the upper grades suggests again
that we are. indeed. an easy going people,
with plenty of time to waste on tritlcs and
persistent habit of making rumpuses about
the wrong things.
Lawyers argued tho case in question,
parents met in successive conferences. law
yers argued some more testimony was taken
for and against the fraternitics. opinion was
divided and feverish and the school COM
munity divided into opposed camps.
No one outside of public school frator-
nifty knows what such fratcrnitics are for.
Every one suppOses justly enough. that they
are outgrowths of petty vanity that reveal
the first STRINGS of the spirit of snobbcry
in Youthful minds. Teachers are unanimous
in ChHracterizing them as silly and nus
anCe. Yet the result of many weeks of work
and discussion and agitation in Camden il
"a triumph" for the four boys who were
insurgent against the authority Of n high
school teacher who sought to discourage fra
ternity sentiment in her rlassrooms and to
prove to pupils and their parents that the
public schools are educational institutions
and not places of amusement.
New wars loom in view Of the world.
economic complications are thick about us,
there is need everywhere for study and clear
thinking In relation TO tho StuDcndous social
and political problems that have to be set
tied according TO the will and wisdom Of
voters But few communities hold meetings
of experts to argue and consider such mat
ters. They haven't time, it seems. Give
them something unimportant or trivial to
consider and somehow they will find it easy
to be concerned, to be aroused and to agitate
until they find solution that, when it is
found, Is of no earthly use to any one.

PARTNERS IN TIE FAIR

THOUSANDS of Philadelphia households
i long have taken pride in the possession
of their framed certificates of membership
in the Centennial Exposition. In many iu
stances the now somewhat quaint steel on
cravings acknowledging th" cooperation
have been handed down as heirl00mS.
The sentiment attaching to them is we'll
worth considering in connection with the
present appeal of the sesqui centennial
management now being circularized. An
nual dues of so will entitle the contributor
to membership in the new local association.
Up to date, 1t is announced. letters in
viting this participation have been sent to
"a chosen number of prominent Phiadel
phians.' 1t was not merely the big wigs
and well advertised celebrities of the town
who carried the Worlds Fair of 1876 to
success.
The sooner the membership campaigning
Is vastly extended in scope the better. The
Federal Government will doubtless assist
and in some degree sponsor the commemora
tion. but the basicPresnonSiblity will be
upon Philadelphia itself.
Membership certificates eventually des-
tined to be cherished by citizens vet un
born should be numbered by hundreds of
thousands

The one thing debatable is its wisdom or
unwisdom, and its consummation has made
even that discussion merely academic. Its
bearing on current events lies in its use as
an argument for the passage of the bill now
pending giving the Secretary of the Treasury
broad authority to prepare for anv contin-

Not the least interesting feature OF the

ment against any such broad authority being
