What do you think of the initiation of a young girl student into a sorority in such a vigorous and direct as to force her to remain in (bed for two days? Are you surprised I to hear that the young lady, in vulgar (parlance, was paddled so severely by ten girls that she was incapacitated? We hasten to commend the authorities of the California school who suspended the high school students guilty of this behavior. Surely, the I girls are adopting the customs of the men without reserve.

If we were controlling the weather we would have all these rains from 2 to 5:30 in the morning and anyi one who is fool enough to be out then ought to get wet.
