START MOVEMENT TO REORGANIZE PRESENT SCHOOL CLUB SYSTEM

TO START WITH INTERSCHOLASTIC TRACK MEET

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

At a meeting in the Quiet Room of the Union last night a movement was started to bring the University into closer contact with the secondary schools throughout the country. The meeting was the result of a decision of the Student Council, impressed with the need of some sort of organization in the University to correct a state of affairs which has been steadily growing worse. That state of affairs has been a continuing disorganization of school clubs, a notable lack of hospitality for visiting school teams, these faults within the University itself; and with respect to the University, not only a distinct lack of correct information in the secondary schools, but also a noticeable presence of misinformation and misrepresentation.

The meeting last night was for the purpose of sounding opinion as to the best methods of correcting these three faults. At the beginning of the discussion W. H. Downs 1G.B., a graduate of Princeton, told of the Undergraduate Schools Committee and its work at Princeton where school clubs, and through them the entertainment of visiting school teams, and the spreading of correct information concerning Princeton, have been brought to a high state of efficiency. He described the work of the Schools' Committee in detail, and it was along the line of some similar organization here that opinion and discussion at the meeting tended.

Look for Remedy of Conditions

The general opinion was, that in some more efficient organization of existing school clubs and the formation of new ones from schools where none exist at present, and in the coordination of purpose and cooperation among the recognized clubs, the most effective cure for present troubles was to be found.

As a result of the discussion last night, a committee will be appointed to undertake the task of bringing organization and cooperation into the school clubs. The membership of the committee, which will be a small one, will probably be announced tomorrow. Its first real test will come at the time of the Interscholastic track meet in the Stadium on Saturday, May 21.
