Informal discussion among

Indicated that the proposal if urg

ments have recently'been'promin
ently urged against it. first, that
the attention of school authorities
during'-the coming all term will
be too greatly, occupied with en
forcement of the rule abolishing
social organizations in the high
school and Junior highs, and sec
ond, that enactment of, the two
somewhat radical restrictions on
both the-social 'organizations and
personal dress would result in th'e
arousal of intense feeling .among,
students and possibly among par
ents. : . ; Yv
Several members of the board
troached with the subject last
night declared that they had only
beard rumors of the possibility
that the question may be brought
before the board and denied that
they had been interviewed ; per
sonally by those who are leading
agitation for the movement. The
name of the womens' organization
that is said to be supporting the
plan was not made public.
Restriction upon social organi
sations of the high school again
came up for brief consideration at
the meeting of the board last
Sight when Superintendent Hug
suggested that the board pass a
rule prohibiting objectionable or
ganizations similiar to that enact
ed by the Portland city school
hoard, ; The latter, it was pointed
out, was morev inclusive that the
resolution taken at the past; meet

ter was closed when Hug 'was in
formed by the board that he, to
gether with the high school prin
cipals, had sufficient authority to

sary to carry ont the action of the
board.
