given by DR.. Becker for his action
in sending Miss Stein home. "a

Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, February 5.-When
Miss Sarah Stein, a seventeen-year.
old pupil at the Western High School,
donned a pair Of knickerbockers and
answered the roll call the other day
she started something that has not
only involved the school authorities
but has been taken up pro and con
by practically all the women's clubs
and societies In the city.
The trouble started when DR.. Err
nest Becker, principal Of the school.
sent Miss Stein home to don the con-
ventional skirt, ON the ground that
her appearance created a sensation
and interfered with the school disci-
pline..
The affair having. become public
was then taken up by the women's
club, and one of the first to come to
'khickers" was Mrs. Donald r. Hook
er, president of the Just Government
League.
"My own opinion is that If some OF
the pupils at the Western High School
became excited when the knickers
appeared. the excited ones should
have been sent home, and they should
have stayed there until their minds
calmed down. The girl wearing the
knickers was all right.
Attacks Ancient Prejudices.
''Knickers make a very wholesome
and attractive costume, and I see no
reason why girls should not wear
them. In fact. my own feeling is that
morals will improve as soon as we do
away with some ancient prejudices
such as the one, for instance. that

% And one of the scribes came,
and having heard them reasoning
together, and perceiving that he
had answered them well. asked
him, Which is the first command
ment of all?
20 And Jesus answered him.
The first of all commandments
is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our
God is one Lord:
80 And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
81 And the second is like, name
ly this, Thou shalt love thy neigh
bour as thyself. There is none
other commandment greater than
these.
80 And the scribe said unto
him, Well, Master. thou hast said
the truth: for there is one God;
and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the
heart. and with all the under
standing, and with all the soul,
and with all the strength. and to
owe his neio1bor as himself is
more than all whole burnt offer
ings and sacrifices.
"a And when Jesus saw +hat he
answered discreetly, he said unto
him, Thou art not far from the
kingdom of God. And no man
after that burst ask him any ques-
ton.
35 And Jesus answered and
said, while he TAUGHT in the
temple, How say the scribes that
Christ is the son of David?
Sc For David himself said by
the Holy Ghost. The Lord said to
my Lord, Sit thou on my right
