URGES LAW TO GOVERN BOARDERS Feb. 14.—The keeping of boarders should be subjegt to license or permit; it is so much a niena.c to family life that a law restricting the practice might be available, in the opinion of Professor George LaPianz, @f Harvard university. In the light of observations in the crowded tenements of the North End district of the city, he said in an address to workers of the Family Welfare soci- ety, the boarder in certain types of homes must be regarded as an influ ence for evil. In such ca¥es, under conditions of license or reStriction, Dr. La Piana said, boarders would be compelled to leave houses in which their presence constituted a moral or hygienic dan- ger. The small amount of money lost each week by the family as a re- sult could well be made up by the Welfare society, he added. ~ “The greater number of families who keep boarders do not do it as a business,” he said, “but merely tu help toward paying the rent. ~ The homes are very small, having thrée or four rooms, one set aside for boarders. As many boarders are kept as beds can be squeezed into that room. The kitchen is usually living room, dining room and kitchen combined, shared by family and boarders alike. The boarders, when they are not working, sit in the kitehen playing cards, while the chil- dren play and the women work around them.” SCHOLARSHIP OFTEN SHUNNED _BY FRATERNITIES Hanover, N.

This hobby is the thesis that in considering possible fratez- nity material, high scholarship should be considered an ‘activity.’ In othe> words ,it is a plea to place high scholarship on the same plane with sweeping gymnasia, handling zround- ers or singing divinely. written in a letter to The Dartmouth, Old King Tutank’s “At present if a man possesses other is pe Victrola No. 330 $350 Victrola No. 330, electric, $390 Mahorany Other styles .
