NO LECTURE COURSE.

which took such a prominent place in
the High school work last year will
not be feature of the coming winters
events.
The venture last year did not prove
a browning success financially al
though it was a popular movement, and
the committee which had charge of the
lecture course was obliged to make up
the deficit. All the numbers on the pro-
gram were furnished by the best talent
obtGinable and were very expensive.
That may be the reason why the debit
and credit columns did not balance at
the end of the season
