An anti-fraternity rule which
will stand the test Of legality
probably will be adopted by the
Board of Education within the
next few weeks, it was learned
today.
Discussion of the proposed rule
is expected this afternoon at the
first meeting of the school board
since its adjournment in the sum-
mer. The requirement Of previous
notice to board members, how
ever, will preclude adoption Of the
rule today, but it is expected to
be presented at the next meeting,
September Is.
Rule Held Not Binding
& 1t is expected that the rule viii
be substantially the same as that
which the courts held was not
passed in prding to legal prOce-
.dure, in q ection with the court
tight OF Z fraternfties several
months ago. II developed at that
time that the board members had
not been given the three days no
tice required under the school
boards by laws, and that the rule,
therefore, was not binding.
Should the board adopt an anti
fraternity rule in accordance with
its prescribed procedure future at
tempts by fraternities to obtain of
fetal approval will rest on the
merits of the question of whether
fraternities are or are not detri-
mental to the welfare of the stu
dents. Because of the flaw in the
boards rule, the frat case never
reached the real point at issue, by
which the status of fraternities
would be determined.
Courts Ruling
The District Supreme Court re
fused to rule on the question on /.
the ground that the boys had not
came into court with clean
hands," but had misrepresented !
their membership in fraternities-
Corporation Counsel Francis III.
Stephens stated today that he was
prepared to defend an anti frater-
nifty rule that would be passed by
the boaru, according to procedure.
The Corporation Cunsel is confident
that the position of the Board of
Education in ruling the fraternities
out of the schools is secure legally.
Recognition of Greek letter
fraternities that will meet the re,
quirement of supervision by school
officials is expected to come before
school officials this fall, and it Is
felt in official circles that it will
be possible for school authorities
to approve some of the fraternities
despite their Greek letter designa-
ton. provided they meet the re-
quirements.

The orphanage formerly was the
home of Captain Dawson, a Civil
War veteran, and was purchased by
Father Killian and Father Morris

In the excitement, Butler, the or

grabbed the fire extinguisher, and,
with another man, went to the roof,
in an endeavor to put out the fire.
The hose was too short and he re-

duty, hastily wrapped the children
in blankets, clothing and handed
them to the men who came in to
carry the children to safety.
