This is the belief of Comman-

"The pole is not an easy thing

Commander Macmillan. "0bserva-

BOARD
Foster Snobbery and Hamper
Discipline, Court Told in
Reply to Suit

sSnobbish and "exclusiveness"s
detrimental to the welfare of high
school students are results Of
secret societies in the schools, the
Board of Education charged today
in answering in the District Su-
preme Court the suit of three
students who demand reinstate-
ment in scholastic activities, being
barred because of their affiIiation
with fraternities.
The board, filing its answer
through Frank Stephens, District
Corporation Counsel, declares that
the Superintendent of Schools has
found IAN almost unanimous de-
sire and demand on the part of
teachers, principals and parents
that the board devise some method
to curb the existence of secret
organizations"
Within Rights, he Says.
stephens says the suit of the
students does not show that they
are entitled to reinstatement and
he declares the school board. in
adopting rule barring members Of
secret societies from participation in
scholastic activities, was entirely
within its rights, according to law.
The board, in filling it's reply. an.
swers directly the suit of Chester
c. Ward, a high school student, who
appeals to the court through John
M. Ward. his father.

nett, and Lillian /. Heron, board
members. He excludes the names
of Julius /. Peyser and Ernest
Greenwood, board members who op.
pose the fraternity rule of the
board.
The answer declares that Ward
is violating the rules of the Board
of Education by being a member
or a secret fraternity.
The board denies that it has
knowingly displayed any favoritism
in the matter of unapproved or
ganizations and says it has endea-
vored to treat all organizations with
equal justice.
The answer states that the vari-
Gus boards of education and super
intendants have been hafrassed and
annoyed for more than a quarter
of a century by the activities Of
secret organizations. fraternities and
sororities in the high schools.
Hamper Discipline.
The organizations. the board says,
tend to hamper the discipline of the
schools, lower the morale of the
pupils. and interfere seriously with
the education and accomplishments
of the members of such organiza-
tions.
The board charges the secret
societies "create and foster a spirit

ly deti imental to the welfare of
all pupils of the schools.
The board states the rule against
secret societies was adopted after
nearly two months of discussion
with principals and parents and
after careful consideration by mem.
bers of the board.

PoIiteness to Aged Woman
Passenger, TOR FIVE Years,
Repaid Nth Request

Walter Raleigh Is fehaena-
,bered IN history for his courtesy.
james Gray, Conductor No. 975,
of the Capital Traction Company,
probably will not be known in
history, but his relatives and
friends will not forget his cour-
tesy to Mrs. Mary Ward, an aged
woman. Gray held up car service
frequently to escort Mrs. Ward
to the curb.
Mrs. Ward has rewarded Gray
with a $4,000 bequest in her will.
His Mothers Training.
Gray was reared in Virginia and
was taught by his mother to be
courteous at all times, particularly
to his elders. He never forgot his
mothers training.
Back in the early days of the
war, when. Washington was a busy
city and when each second meant
much in the life of the many
pt |e here, Gray got a job as
on the Capital Traction
Company.
His run was from Georgetown to
Eighth and F. streets northeast.
Gray soon became Known on the
line for his politeness and cheer
fulness. He was always helping
aged persons off and on his car.
One Sends Necktie.
One of those he helped, a very
grateful woman, remembered him al
Christmas time. sending, care OF
the company, a tie for Conductor
No. 975."
One day in 1918, Gray'a car

sengers.
The car had started when Gray
noticed an aged woman walking
very slowly from the curb. He
signalled the motorman to stop.
got off and went over to the won
an. He helped her to the car
and put her in a seat. Service
was delayed about thirty seconds,
but Gray didn't mind.
The woman got off at Twelfth
and Pennsylvania avenue. Gray
held up service again while he
escorted her to the curb.
Repeated Several Days.
The next day about the same
time the woman was at the curb
again. He stopped the car md
helped her in once more. She got
off at the same place.
For several days this was re-
peated. Then for several weeks he
did not see her.
When she did appear at the curb
at First and B streets northwest
again, Gray saw she was waiting
for him. Again he helped her.
"I've been ill.," she told him.
This time the woman did not get
off at Twelfth and Pennsylvania
avenue, but instead rode to the
Georgetown car barn.
I'm just out for a ride" she
told Gray. She made several trips
from one end of the line to the
other before she got off again.
Gray escorted her to the curb.
Five-Year Passenger.
For five years, the aged lady
was a passenger on Grays car.
Sometimes she rode daily for more
than a month, other times he would
not see her for six months.
