UNIFORMS FOR
GRADUATES STIR
SCHOOL CLASH
Teacher Denies Threat to
Withhold Diplomas in
Clothing Argument.

Whether grade school graduates
should be required to wear uniform
clothing at commandments today
held school board members in in
dignant disagreement.
Decided views on the subject we're
expressed by board members Tues
day night, when President Charles
w. Kern reported he had been in
formed that the principal Of one
school had ordered girls to wear a
uniform graduating dress or be
denied their diplomas and the right
TO participate in commencement.
Kern bitterly opposed the idea,
declaring it to be a hardship on
parents whose children already have
clothing suitable for commencement
exercises, and who would be forced
to buy other clothing.
Thinks It Good Idea
'I think it is a perfectly lovely
idea, one that will save the parents
money which many Of them little
can afford to spend, Mrs. Lillian v.
Sedwick, commissioner, said.
Each girl wants to look as nice
as every other girl, and parents in
moderate circumstances must spend
a lot of money to buy dresses as
nice as girls in more comfortable
circumstances wear"
The subject Of the controversy,
Miss Helen Loeper, principal of
School ST, East Washington street
and Ritter Avenue, today declared
she had made no threats of with
holding diplomas, and added the
girls, and boys, too had themselves
decided on uniform costumes.
Girls Are Rebuked
"The girls met six or eight weeks
ago and suggested a simple one
piece sport dress with long sleeves,
made of inexpensive materials"
Miss Loeper said.
"A few of them asked me if half
sleeves would be all right, and I
gave consent.
"I learned from some Of the pupils
that four girls had bought silk
dresses and I was provoked and told
them they might have told me of
their plans, because it made the
other girls feel bad.
The boys decided to wear white
duck trousers, white shirts and black
ties and belts. Some bought their
entire outfits for $3.50.
"Our only intention was to make
the commencement clothing simple
and inexpensive. There was no
coercion"
