MADISON.
Madison Girls Win Debate.

The debate between Pennington
High school and Madison High school
occurred Friday evening in Union hall.
This was the first entertainment Of
its kind ever given here and the hall
was well filled and all were highly de-
lighted. not only with the decision of
the judges but the way the program
was rendered. Needless to say Madi-
showing they made in their first de-
bate.
The question was not one Of the
easy kind, but required large amount
Of research. that much time had been
spent in this was plainly seen by the
arguments introduced by both sides.
Although the girls from Madison were
victorious. the boys from Franklin
county are to be congratulated on their
work The fact that they were on the
hardest side of the question. that their
opponents We're of the opposite sex and
that they were in a strange han did
not keep them from giving good sound
arguments. As individual speakers
there was little choice but the Farm
ingt"n team all worked together and
cXcelled in team work
The debate has a sound plea for con-
tinuancc in this community. 1t is, in
itself great educational branch. one
that is too often neglected For the
last II years the High school has
maintained a debating society holding
meetings Friday evenings That this;
mas been a great factor in their educa-
tion many of our graduates will testify.
what the society needs now is the
nearly cooperation of the public. and
without doubt that has been earned bv
Friday nights work.
