measured-but positive finish and

delightful. In short the organization
an experiment In the second place
the Boys Glee Club q much more re-
cent organization, was heard for the
first time and deserves commendation
and encouragement. In both organiza

cultivating. Then the school orchestra
exhibited progress, though little extra
time spent OH the matter of the tuning
and attuning of instruments might
not be amiss. Altogether, the success
which has greeted the efforts of Miss
| Strauss, the music teacher of the school,
was shown to have been nothing short
Of remarkable.
The debate was spirited and rather
above the average, particularly rs re-
CARDS rebuttal. The Lyceum repre-
sentatives showed their training in the
easy manner with which they spoke.
They had undoubtedly the worst side of
the subject, and won. AS regards the

sides, however, we are inclined to give

showed, we think, the clearest and

ANOTHER MASS MEETING ;
Call Has Been Issued For High School
Debate Tonight At Turner Hall

A call has been published for a mass
meeting tonight in Turner hall to fur
thsr discuss the school question. Both
sides have been put considerably on their
metal since the last meeting and have
been filing themselves full of facts and
figures. The debate is liable to be one
of the most interesting that has ever
taken place in the city Of Manitowoc.
1t is gratifying to all concerned that so
much interest is being taken in the snb-
ject. There is a rumor that Prof. Sic
ker, Of Milwaukee, may be present to
speak in favor of the proposed change.

adopted. At the end of the five minutes
recess, the committee reported that the
license fee had been fixed at $3.50 per
annum in addition to the state tax of 2
per cent. This precipitated rather
chaotic discussion, in which some of the
aldermen advocated a larger fee, and in
which Atty McMullen kept bringing up
the subject of the extension of time.
Finally the aldermen left the question
of the fee alone and devoted their ut
tention to the subject of the life of the
ordinance. A few advocated granting
the companys request for As years. Aid
derman Stolze and one or two others,
however, became eloquent on the sub
lect of the legacy they We're leaving
their children and the consequence was
that it was finally voted to place the
time at the original figure of 80 years

We with to acknowledge receipt Of a

There is no doubt but what every one

on between editors McFarlane, Nash

our readers that we will not mix in with

speech, eff there are any other gentle

audible smile" from the audience ap-
prised him of his mistake and hequickly
changed the form of his invitation
Albert H. Schmidt next appeared for
the affirmative and read letters from va,
rious city superintendents in favor OF
the central high school. At the end OF
his fifteen minutes he asked for five
minutes more. This granted, he spoke e
until the half hour point. He again
asked for more time, but on protest from
members of the audience his request was
denied.
Upon the request of DR.. Fraser, who
said hs wanted to hear some one who
knew something about the subject, F. S.
Hyer, principal Of the training school
went to the platform. His address,
though short, was one of the best of the
evening. 1t was in the main plea for
more attention to the grades. lie re-
marked, If l should plead for anything
tonight it would be for the grades.
believe that we spend too much money
on the high school. We need to improve
the grade school We should spend
more money on those children who never
enter the high school," He favored the
present system because it was close to
the people and lie told of an instance at
North Side school meeting where the
people had voluntarily voted $500 more
than had been asked for in the treas
urer's report He said that in all his ex-
perience he had never seen such a thing
before.
Another bit of humor to enliven the
situation came when Mr.. Hyer had
finished. Mr.. Stolze arose to ask a
question. Some claim that he asked
three questions, others say that they
couldn't keep track of how many he did
ask, while still others assert that he
didn't ask question at all. At any
rate, when he got through there was a
pause. Finally Herbert Markham said
Il move that the presiding officer put
the question" The Mayor looked
puzzled and every body laughed. The
question, or questions, remained un-
answered.
Judge Anderson was the last speaker.
He urged the necessity OF economy and
mentioned, the large burden of taxation
the city was already bearing He
claimed that new high school building
such rs proposed, would cost not less
than 800, 1000 When he had finished
speaking the meeting adjourned with
out the formality of motion.
Copies of Judge Anderson's letter to
the PILOT and leaflets of questions and
answers on the central high school
signed by most of the members of the
various school boards of the city, had
been literally distributed throughout
the room prior to the opening of the
meeting.

WHAT WOULD YOU
DO IN HIS CASE

Mr.. Allen is well known in
this city, as he was engaged in
business here for long time dur
ing the early oil excitement. He
lived here with his wife and
moved from here to Clarksburg.
He was a quiet, peaceable man
while he lived here, but we are
informed that after he moved to
Clarksburg began to drink. His
father is B. S. Allen of Parker's
Landing, who drilled a number
of wells just across the river.
Davis is also well-known in this
city, and from the newspaper re-,
ports the people here who knew
all the parties insist that Davis
got just what he deserved-no
more or less.
