the beginning, such Intimacy between
 office holders and constituents, Is posi-
 lively astounding,
 Until the board of education adopts
 stern, oppressive measures, the fra
 ternity ghost will continue to dance ir
 the moonlight. Because Of certain nn'
 fortunate revelations recently, it ha'
 been brought to public attention thai
 ishing at New BrieAin High school this despite an attempt to root them lput made by the school board Scyera
 years ago.
 If q fraternity had any eonstruc- tive, wholesome effect on school life Il would have reason for existence But thus far not one substantial argu- ment has been advanced to prove that the effect Is beneficial.
 One Of the most effective chfrges brought against fraternlties Is that they destroy the spirit Of democracy which is supposed to control high school activities. In other words. they breed snobs. No doubt there h some truth in this accusation. A boy in high school is usually at the age when his head is easily turned by any rec ognition which distinguishing him from his fellows. He cannot stand prosperity. The importance Of an ap- pointment to fraternity, for example, is exaggerated. His fraternal asso- ciates become almost his only asso- ciates. He gradually and unconscious ly withdraws from the general student body. Frequently his judgment Is in fluenced by his fraternal affiliations and he is apt to take chauvinistio view Of fraternal activities, placing loyalty to his fraternity above loyalty to the school as whole. The pie ture is not overdrawn. Almost any member of fraternity. in his own heart, will admit that the foregoing Is true.
 It has long been the cry, and some- times with a great deal of truth, that fraternities control appointments to athletic teams. The writer cannot say whether this charge could be Indue dkdlHSI INeW DItLh'H iii6A school, but believes that there is ground for suspicion. There have been cases, in other schools at least, where fraternities secured appoint ments to football and baseball teams for members who were not the most skillful candidates, thereby working for the personal advancement Of the fraternity and certain individuals rather than for .the glory of the school
 There is no question that fraterni- ties and sororities cause mental an guish which should be foreign to school life. Boys and girls who have been chosen for membership have been known to look down upon their school acquaintances to an extent that their actions could not escape notice, thereby causing ill feeling and heart

FRAUD HELD FELONY
State Appeals Court Says Conspiracy
10 Dcfraud Commonwealth Is
Pcnitcnttary Offcnsc.

|, OKLA AHOMA CITY, Jan. 9.-Per-
sons conspiring to defraud the state
I'm the letting of contracts should be
tried on felony charges which carry
a maximum penalty of two years in
the state penitentiary and a fine OF
10000. according to an opinion OF
the criminal court of appeals handed
down here today.
The opinion was given on the ap.
peal of the county attorney of
Carter county, made in 1918, when
misdemeanor cases against the
board of county commissioners and
two contractors were dismissed on
the ground that the county court
had no jurisdiction over the cases.
Both the state and the defense were
on the wrong track in arguing about
the question of jurisdiction, the opin-
ion stated. Instead of being a mis-
demeanor and the question of the
jurisdiction of the county court be-
ing at stake, the offense is felony
and within the jurisdiction of the
district court, II was held.
