Mr-. Corwln, who outlined his
campaign beforo thn concluvit of
the AHHociuted Acudomic X'rlnol
pala of Now York State, wunts
BChool authorities to have, the right
to bur girl ntudentH who ure guilty
of conspicuous drens und uttire.
Tho modern mot hod of clrcsa In
theahigh school is one of the gruv
eat -problems of tho high nchool
principal today, ho maintain. Tho
problem, he said, did not origin
ate, in the school, rather It was
forced upon tho Hchool by condi
tions put before tho Rirla by tho
motion pictures and the so-called
younKfr social set of tho present
generation.
Uko "IlU1t Life"
In most communities, Corwln
pointed out, there in n strictly
modern younger wt which glories
In what it (terms 'Mgh life." Girls
of high school uko, only a little
younger than many of tho girls in
that set, look up to their mode of
living and dress and set out to
mimic it us closely us possible, ho
said, . Kach, trying to outdo tho
other, brings tho stylo of dress be
yond the bounds of common sense
und close to tho point of Indecency
Among things Corwln wants
kept out of school are silk stock
ings. However, ho explains, that
doesn't meun that the texture of
tho hoso must undergo an examin
ation to determine whether it Is
silk, cotton, or wool. Tho word
fiilk, lie says, Is used to deslgnulo j
tho too sheer hoso tho bright- j
colored hose worn, us ho suys, to I
uttruct uttenlion. j
Scrtk-u Is Test -
The test, he says, of tho proper
dress to be worn by tho schoolgirl
Is whether it is worn for service i
or uppearunce only. None can
possibly claim, ho Buys, that tho
lliinsy excuse ior sleeves, the sheer
stockings und the low-strupped
sandals tiro purchased for ser
viceable (tiullticB,
Ho inslsta that school authorities
have the right to deinund that the
girl who comes to school rouged or
with face uuuiilurully mado up
should be asked to wush her race, ' -1 '"

SPOKANE VALLEY
WILL FIGHT THE
"SILVER LEAF"
KI'OKANti, Wash.. A1) i A
vigorous cauipaiKii against stiver
leaf disease and the leaf roller pest
may be instituted throughout the
Hpokane valley this year under
plans sponsored by the Valley
Chamber, of 4'oiiiuieree and in
which various orchardists, the dis
trict horticultural office und the
plant pathology depart men t ol
Washington Slate college have
united.
According to officials of tho Vul
loy Chamber arrangements have
beeu made with Spokane county
commissioners to provide funds
with which to conduct u survey of
the valley to determine tho extent
of the silver leaf Infection. Ir.
K. D. Heald of tho Washington
Htatn col lege would have charge of
the investigations.
The proposed plan of combating
the menace calls for the formation
of several "protection districts" in
the valley, each under the supervi
sion of a man who will direct the
work of removing trees Infected
with silver leaf and spraying the
remaining trees that show signs of
tho leaf roller. Kach district will
contain from loot) to lfioo acres..
A small assessment per acre lias
been suggested as a means of
financing the campaign.
According to John B. Wiley, dis
trict inspector for the horticultural
office, growers are hestltant about
spraying their orchards for the
leaf roll, when they do not know
how many of the trees muy be
dead from the silver leaf Infection,
lie said Immediate action was nec
essary. -
