The high school reformer succeeds in having his reso
lutions of reform adopted by the student liody. The na
tional reformer succeeds in having his laws of refoim
adopted by the representatives of the people. Hut there
ends the success of both reformers. A resolution and law
do not make the reform. When the resolution and law
lire obeyed and enfoiced then, and then only, is there n
reformation and without the .student body nmi the public
Ithe reformer can here do nothing.
Unless the gills of the Ilnckensnek high school disap
