School Boys’ Strike.

Two hundred boys of the Central high school of Buffalo went on a strike, in which they have the sympathy of an equal number of girl pupils in the school. The strike was caused by the enforcement of a rule which long has been a dead letter. This rule forbids the boys and girls from having any communication together in the halls, class rooms or study rooms. The pupils claim the enforcement of the rule robs school life of its pleasures.
