Sixteen" at Green Bay Hay Find Her Privileges Curtailed. KNOTTY PROBLEM FOR PARENT! Meeting Has Been Called to Discus the Effect of Parties and Balls on School Work. Green Bay, March young girls and boys, 15 and 16 years of age, and who are pupils of the lilfeh school, be: permitted to be consid ered full-Hedged members of society in the accepted sense of the word?" To projMjrly discuss this question which iuv-dlvos features of momentous importance, a meeting of prominent pat rous of the public Schools and teachers has called for next Week. Mem liers of the faculty nniversi ty are also expected to be present. "Sweet 1C," it must be admitted, plays an important role in the society life at Green There ever -so many "sets 11 of young ladies, but some way or other the names of the members of the 'Sweet 1C Aggregation" manage to creep into the social columns of the local papers with a surprising regularity, li has been on that at a cart party given by a club, which is composed of the male lions of society, a feu days ago, nuim of their fair partners were'high school girls.

All these pleasures enjoyed liy them, of course, are of an innocent character. But there are other- rations Charles E. Vronmn. president of the school board, was to regarding this matter "Yes, I know that a meeting has botn called at various coii- siKiiiential matters will be discussed," he said. "Regarding this one.l have pronounced opinions.

I do not think il proper that young girls who go to boo' should be accorded such social privileges und that mainly for two reasons In th'p- first place, their health suffers." 11 stands to reason that a young girl of 15 or 16 cannot very well and ith impuni ty. attend balls and parties that last til 2 and .8 o'clock in the morning.

Recreation is most necessary, but if indulged In to excess, recreation must and does bapome harmful. I think that it ought a comparatively, easy matter for all thoughtful parents to determine as to where the line should be and where recreation would become advisable 1 trust that I shall be able to attend that meeting," concluded Mr. Vro- uinn.
