The opinion

BROWN, J.,

dissenting in part:

Undoubtedly both the title and the body of the Act (Ch. 21,777) prohibit secret societies in our public schools. This was clearly within the legislative power. But I do not think that the second sentence of Section 1 of the Act was within the subject of the Act as stated in its title. Otherwise I concur in the above opinion.
