Few, If any, of the teacher deny that there I a deplorable amount of overdressing among th girl student and that It haa a bad effect, giv ing the girls Wrong standards, and In soma cases, taking their mind from their tudle. s 'When asked her opinion of thl, Mis Kate McIIugh, assistant principal ef the high achool. said: "It I a matter that I have not thought out, but the more I think about It th mora I realise the diffi culty of satisfactorily working out such a plan. tn my opinion the overdressing of the girls has another si do, and. the vanity nd overdoing runs more to ornaments, Jrwelry and the like, and the extreme manner of dressing the hair, than In the dresses that the girl wear. A for the fine material and handsome dresses that It I alleged some girls wear, girl who can not afford such dresses, I have found upon Investigation of several such cases that these dresses are made over from the gowns of older sisters or aunts, who are self-supporting and who can afford such gowns. These girls are dressed almost entirely In this way at little or ho ex pense to their parents, and If their moth ers happen to have the ability to make things over Into stylish dresses, these girls are dressed is well as the daughter of th wealthy, while If their parents had to buy their dresses, they could afford only cheap materials that would distract their attention from their studies s much as finer cloths ran do. Regarding Ineon rlftent dressing, I have found but little of that. I think l( Would be a difficult matter to establish a uniform, even If one had the authority to do so. A dress that Is suitable for the winter weather Is too warm for the early fall and late spring. If white shirtwaist snd dark skirts could be used, t should certainly favor that, but the Item of laundry would make such a uniform Impracticable. I have anked a few of the girls what they think of a uni form and have found them decided In opinion, some of the wealthy grls being In favor of It, While other girls from less fortunate homes oppose it;" Other teachers in the high school, and these seem to be In the majority, think that there Is real necessity of Some regula tion of the dress problem ttmong the g'rl students, and numeroua Instances are cited to justify their opinion. Said one teacher: "Tha well.balanced, steady-going modet girl I not In neod of our attention In this matter, but unfortunately such girls are the exception, and there Is necessity of some restraint upon the many girls who are thoughtless or frivolous. Just because they are young, or through lack of re straint jr discipline at home. This class of girls certainly think more of what they wear, of parties and such things, than of their tudles, and the result IS very evident In their work. We owe It to these student to provide some means of overcoming this evil." i Another teacher said: "Many of our girls sre Inconsistently dressed. They wear dresses to school that at their ege they have no right to hava at all, to say nothing of wearing them every day. This not only makes these girls vain, but establishes a distinction of dres that too frequently generally In fact excludes the girls whose mental ability and modesty entitles them to flrstlace and first recognition In our school. The Influence I bad for all the students. It makes other less fortunate girls a wealth goes unhappy and In many cases haa been directly responsible for poorer girls dropping out of school. Nor Is this discontent on the part of the poorer girl to b wondered at. Their judgment I still Immature and all girl love pretty thing. The dress question In the high achool Is responsible for some de plorablo standards and Its regulation Is only a part of consistent education." "If I could have one message to the mother of America," said one of the prin cipals, "It would be, 'Give your children some deflnllo employment at home and they will not have so much trouble at school.' " The lack of responsibility at home, in the opinion of many of the teach ers, is the root of a. great part of the diffi culty that children get Into and 'Is also re sponsible for their lack of appreciation and consideration for parents snd teachers. Th presence cf the children on the street snd about the school buildings at noon Is a con stant ource of trouble, the complaint of which goe to the chool teacher. Parent complain of other people' children, yet II doe not seem to occur to them that their own children may be getting into mischief and causing someone else fclmllsr snnoy nee If they re allowed to run the streets at noon. .Or. principal estimate that fully one-third or her pupil take lew than a half hour for their noon luncheon or din ner and are back playing about the treet or the building In le than an hour from the time they are dismissed. Almost all of the schools have a rule forbidding the chil dren entering the building before a certain time, but tvfn In extreme weather this doe not keep th children at home. To overcome thl nuisance one principal has threatened to issue a circular letter to ths patrons of her district requesting them to provide their children with ome duty st home that will prevent .tneir coming to school so ealy. She suggested that they be made to assist in the domestic work. Thl threat had the desired effect tor a time. Tells of Division of Proats. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
