DEBATE IN
HIGH SCHOOL
IMMIGRATION PROBLEM DISCUS.
SEQ BY PUPILS OF THE
EAST SIDE SCHOOL.
Awarded to Affirmative Al
though Only BY Bare Point of Diff
ference-Declamatory Honors to
Students and An Excellent Pro-
gram Besides.

The high school room at the East
Side building was filed to its utmost
capacity yesterday afternoon, at which
time an excellent program was present
ed by the pupils of the ninth, eighth
and seventh grades. The program was
successfully presented and the entire
entertainment was a credit alike to in
structors and participants. 1t was
unanimously agreed by the auditors
that the judges both in the declama-
ton contest and for the debate were
the most unfortunate of mortals, and
so close were the exercises that those
having the decision at hand received
the commiseration of their friends as
they left the room. Their delibera-
tions consumed considerable time, and
5 o'clock was approaching when they
finally appeared. Mrs. Knight, Mrs.
Kissick and Dean Bode, judges of reel
~tation, announced through their chair
man that honors had been assigned to
Miss Wallis, Mr.. Hegewald Inc Miss
Bamforth respectively. AS to the de-
chalmers, the audience seemed gener-
ally pleased by the decision of the
judges, who declare hat of the three
it was indeed a difficult matter to tell
which should come first. Mr.. A. c.
Jones, Prof. Lee and Mrs. Hurt officiat-
ed as judges of the debate and after
lengthy discussion gave the decision
to the young ladies who so ably repre-
scented the ninth grade. While W of
the judges gave their votes to the neg
alive, many people thought hat the
pupils on the affirmative were the best
%debaters, as they showed more thought
in the discussion. were more logical,
and proved their statements.
In any event, the teachers and
friends of all the young debaters were
sincerely congratulated upon the eX-
cellent impression made by the con-
testants, and much is expected from
them in years to come. The benefit
which the students derived from this
n number on the program canno be
estimated, for the man or woman who
can clearly voice opinions before an
audience possesses a power which can
not possibly be gained in any other
way. The program in full was as fol-
lows.
