saturday nlRht the lntefScRO-
lastic OratOrical Contest filled
the Institute auditorium with an
audience that taxed it's capacity.
Six schools were represented,
and the excellent manner with
which each sustained his or her
part reflected credit upon their
schools.
President Stephens, of the In
stitute. opened the exercises
with a few appreciated remarks,
and then introduced each of the
contestants in turn.
Richard Eckert, of New Iberia,
was the first speaker. His sub
ject was National Degeneracy,
and he handled it well. In a
spirited and earnest manner he
spoke of the evils of great wealth,
showing the debasing effect that
lust for money had upon charac-
ter. He pictured the multi-mil-
liOnaire and the Oaneful effect the
concentration of money in to few
hands had upon national life, fol
lowing up with the disclosures
of the press regarding the ques-
tionable methods pursued by the
captains of industry. Mr.. Eek
arts speech made a most favOra-
able impression and many picked
him out for the winner. He was
followed by Albert Kittredge, of
Lake Charles.
Mr.. Kittredge's subject was
John Milton, and while his deliv-
cry was not as good as it could
have been, yet the scholarly way
in which his subject was discus
sed far OverbOre the defects of
delivery, Milton to the ordinary
person is a dry subject. but he
infused life into it and made a
most entertaining discourse.
Gussie Lo~ustalOt, of Franklin,
presented the Tendencies of Mod.
ern Commercialism. and he won
splendid opinions for the able
manner in which he discussed
such a large subject.
Following him, Miss Quintilla
Morgan spoke of that grand old
soldier Robert E. Lee. and show
ed her skill by making an inter-
esting subject still more interest
ing, holding the attention OF the
audience while she spoke.
Miss Ethel Nicholson, of Crow
ley, took for her subject We,
the Elect" and beginning in the
far away past took up the grand
march of progress of the Anglo
Saxon, following him to his home
in England, showing his master
spirit as the centuries rolled on,
developing into the Englishman
and then the American. She

Miss Mia Tilley, of st. Mar
tinville, was the last speaker.
Her subject, "The Progress of
the South" was a heavy one, yet
she handled it in an intelligent
and convincing manner, that
showed both ability and study.
There were six judges of the
contest in oratory, three on mat
ter as follows: w. G. Perrault, of
OpelOusas Supt. V. L. Roy, of

President Stephens then pre-.
sented in appropriate words a set
of StOddard's books to Albert
Kittredge, of Lake Charles, to
whom the judges awarded the
prize for the best Grafton as to
matter and delivery.
Prof. Ives then in fitting
words presented the Biossat cup
to James Caffery, captain of the
Institute team, for the Institute,
which IS now the full owner of
