interesting and spirited ard showed
careful study and deep consideration OF

principal of the Monroe school, the
two former deciding in favor of the
dog, while Miss Wright thought the
horse side had won. Miss Kate
Sweeney, who led the affirmative. was
very eloquent, while Miss Louise Stir

first to reply to Miss Sweeney, was
very sarcastic and argumentative. Miss
