EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL.

A topic of much interest to the pupils
! at the Eastern High School. at present,
is the re-establishing OF the old school
paper. The Easterner.'
The per was founded in 1893, and was
published, with the exception of 1896, up
to 1893
The faculty will hold conference in
the near future to decide whether or not
to publish the paper in 1903. II they de-
eide in the affirmative the paper will
probably have to deposit $40 in bank
as security for their creditors in case
The fastener" gees INTO debt What is
worrying the faculty and pupils most is
how they are going to obtain the money.
About the only possible way to get it is by
individual subscription. Last year they
endeavored to get out the paper, and upon
TeSoTting to this means of getting money
met with failure.
Probably, arrangements could lie made
with some printer who Is willing 20 take
chances on the success of the paper
financially, and to receive his compensa-
tion Tor printing the paper after it gets
on its feet" When the Balance Sheet"
the Business High School paper. was re-
established they made just such an ar
rangcmcnt with a printer. Perhaps he
would be a good mal to interview upon
the subject. The Balance Sheet" Is now
an assured success and II was not re-
quired to deposit a single cent in the
bank. thus with a capital of SIS. the sue
cess o. the ''Easterner" is almost as
cured, providing, of course, it meets with
popularity among the pupils.
Next Monday at 3 o'clock lecture will
be given in the study hall by the Rev.
DR.. Newman, pastor of the First Congre-
gational Church. corner of Tenth and G
Streets As yet the subject of the lecture
has not been decided but in all prob
ability will be upon some nature subject
Or. Newman is frst-class speaker and
1t is probable that his talk will be both
instructing and entertaining.
