Merton P. Cor- win, princinal of Jamestown High Schivol, as its leader. Dr. Corwin, who outlined his eampaizn before tiie conelave of the Associated Acad mie Principals of New York State, wants sehool authorities to have the rigit to bar girl students who are guilty ol conspicuous dress and attire. Is mosit communities, Mr. Corwin pointed out, ther: 13 steietly modern younger sei who glory in what they term hign hfe. Giris ol hign scavol age, only a little younger than many of the girls in tat set, look up to their mode of living and dress and set out to.mimic¢ it as el s:ly as possible, he yjsaid. Kach, wry- ing to outdo the other, brings sivie of dress far beyond the bounds ol common sense, ana close to the point of inde- cency, he condented. Bars Silk Stoekings. Among things Mr. Corrwin wanted kept out of school are siik stockings. However, he explains, that doesn’c man that the texture of the hose must under- go on examinatiod to determine -/hether it is silk eco.ton or woul. Tae word silk he says is used to desigonate the too sheer hose, the bright-colored hose worn as Le says to attract attention, He insists that schcol auathorities have the right to demand that the irl who comes to schooi rougzed or with the unna uraily made up should be asked to wash her face, just as the boy cominZ with face covered with mud would be requested to wash No. 29. =g The Ag@nual general inspection of the Publie Roads will take nlace as followse -bhare QUARTERS.

In Jamestown Mr. Corwin de- finitely barred the bringing of powder putfs and lipsticks to school. He said that 1f thev are brought in secretly the rule at least prevenis their use in pub- lie. : Against Costly Clothes. Too expensive elcihes, he uelieves should be barred from the schcol as well as too little clotnes. He believes that girls and boys in High School have a right to attend clzsses on an equal basis with al! the other pupils, and not be div.ded into classes by the type of clothes their parenis can afford to buy them. Iu spite of tne fact thut Mr. Corwin asks for serviceable dresses, serviceable shoes and stockings and a girls’ original complexion in the high school, he does not especially advocate the the uniform adovted by so many schools. Schools would be a dreary place, he thinks, if every girl wore a blue or brown middy. If the high school authorities in each community would insist on the common- sense standard of serviceability, he says the girls would soon work out tke pro- blem of attractive clothes that eonform- ed to the standards of decency.- Boston American.
