SCHOOLGIRL REBELLION.
REVOLT AGAINST RULES. Denied the privilege of remaining out later than half-past seven o'clock in the evening, one hundred girls of the Oswego Normal School threatened recently to re volt and leave the school dormitory. Halloween was observed by several parties. The girls were invited, but an edict that they must be in their rooms by half-past seven o'clock or leave school prevented their attendance. A secret meeting was held next day in the dormitory corridor and parental influence is to be sought to remove what the girls call the chains of medieval oppression. The rules and regulations prohibit the girls from accepting invitations from young men to eat ice cream, to accept rides to and from school in motor-cars, to stroll on Ontario's shores without a member of the .faculty,, 1o go without fiats in Bridge Street, to wear slit skirts or to go without ag umbrella when it rains.
