wholeseems to take a great interestin the war situation. The eleventhgrade, having just studied argumentin composition, prepared a very interestingdebate in class work. Thequery was: "Resolved, That theUnited States should spend at leastone year in preparation before enteringinto war with Germany."The class of ten was equally dividedand the debate was thoroughly discussedon both sides. Our Englishteacher, Miss Jackson, made the decisionin favor of the affirmative.This being a question of such vitalimportance,as well as suitable to theoccasion, some of the patrons, afterhearing how well it was discussed,requested that the debate be repeatedat a meeting of the Francis Marionliteraay society held last Fridaynight:

All the papers were handed in toMiss Jackson, from which she selectedtwo of the best from each side,viz: Affirmative, Barnie Williams,FliiPont RViom1 norrqtivp Mllrtip

Owens, Clifford Eaddy. The re9t ofthe papers were turned over to thefour selected.

At the date appointed, the societywas called to order by LlewellynPope, president pro tern. The audiencewas led in prayer by Rev P AMurray, after which the followingprogramme was rendered:Song, "Hats of other days." by six

young ladies.Male quartette."Don't bite the hand

that's feeding you."Debate."Kesolved, That the United

States should spend at least one yearbefore entering into war with Germany,"The judges were: Mrs L B Johnson.Hon B B Chandler, chairman of

the board of trustees, and Prof E VYates. After the judges had retiredfor their decision, beautiful instrumentalduets were rendered byMisses Bush and Haddock, ProfYates announced the decision of thejudges in favor of the negative.The remaining members of the classwho had hitherto upheld the negativeseemed as if they would go wildover their victory.
