BOYS AND GIRLS DEBATE.
sis Co-Ed ucatiOn Desirable in FfRhe
institutions 2"

"ls Co-Ed ucarion Desirable in FfRher
INSTITUTIONS ?'
Is Co Education desirable in high
er institutions ?"
This was the question the ninth
grade girls discussed In their final de-
bate for the term-Out at West End
Friday afternoon The debate was
admirable in every particular-in fact
it surpassed all previous efforts of
either the girls or boys.
May Barber was leader on the afr
native side, and Lillian Walker on the
negative Their colleagues ably sus-
tanned them, and the decision was
close. but was ffually rendered in favor
of the negative.
The principal argument advanced,
faVoring co-education in higher insti-
Lutlons were, That, since boys aud girls
are to 1--we together all through life,
they shoulC be educated together;
that Isolation of the sexes begeus mis-
trust, wrong ideas and wrong opinions
as TO the proper relations of the sexes:
that co-educatiun makes boys more
manly ana girls more wnmdnIt, and
LhdJ IL Is more &c nomicdl, at The
same time affurdlug the best aovdnL
ayes
N umerOuS instances OF the great
success " such educational in>LItu
tions as C"rneii University, of MIchI-
gan and Others were gwen and these
arguments were very effective
The negative side took the ground
that those who favor co-education are

girls into women by the same process,

Bishop Early to dinner with her and
set before him some fat meat and
gravy and corn-bread and said to him:
Brother Early, this is the best l

good enough for you; if you are not,
IL is too good for you" He ate with
gratitude.
The Bishop alsosaid IA great deal Of
the dissatisfaction in the public mind
not because the mercies OF God are is
not plentiful, but it is because one
party is in and wants to stay in, and
the other party is out, but does not
want to stay out.

than any party IN it and it will stand.

A WINSTON COP.
How q Fellow on a Bicycle Made the
Officer "Get Up and Dust

A good one is told on Winston
cop. While out near M. A. Walker &
Cos factory few nights ago he heard
a police whistle. This was call for
help. The officer started off in a
fast walk when he heard two more
calls given. This meant help on
double quick time. With his hat in
one hand and his "William" in the
other, the cop "split the wind" at a
2:4O gait. When he reached the West
End School he saw a fellow on a bicy-
Gle going down the hill blow
ing a whistle and riding on Fast
time. The officer became diss runtled
but he knew it was useless to attempt
a race with the man on the wheel.
The old saying, vengeance is sweet"
popped into the cops mind. Next
morning he called on Lawyer Swink,
attorney for the city, and asked for
Information on how he should draw
two warrants-One to deputize fell
low to catch the,man on the bicycle,
who blew a policeman's whistle, and
the second to make the wheelman pay
for his naughtiDess. Lawyer Swink
says this story is no joke. He can
name the cop, If it becomes necessary.

REVIE W OF TRADE.
No Improve lent in Business-FaiI-
ur. Last WEEK

NEW YORK, Nov. 80 R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade, issued
today. says: Business has not i'm :
proved, though there is very little
cnange except in the shrinkage of
prices, which period of inaction
naturally causes. After the extraor
binary buying Of the summer and
early fall, marked decrease was in
evitable, and it is yet too early in
most branches OF business to judge
how far the future was anticipated
in purchases. Retail stocks are still
reported full in nearly all branches,
with delayed distribution in many ON
account OF unfavorable weather
The movement Of crops is only fair,
both cotton and wheat being largely
kept back IN the hope Of h CHER pr ces.
aud there is a prevalent feeling that
foreign imports will fall off.
A sharp decline is noted in barbed
wire, attributed TO the failure to com
plete an unexpected combination.
During he past week failures have
been 279 in the United States against
2S9 last year, and Al IN Canada against
30 last year.

About the Fife Meeting.

The Burlington News strikes the
key note when it says: "Mr. w. P.
Fife, who is well-known here, has just
closed a meeting at Winston, where
nearly 900 professed conversion. That
was wonderful meeting he held, but
the real amount of good done will be
seen by the number who join some
members, and show by their actions
that they are what they profess. The
greatest evil attending such, is the
number who go in the church on the
tidal wave and become dead weight
on the church"
