Pedagogical Pebbles

This is our fourteenth week of
school.
Rev. Mr.. Boozer spoke to a large
audience in the high school room
Tuesday morning.
Our children are thinking and talk
ing of Christmas only two weeks
distant.
The school board met Monday
evening. Several important items
and questions were discussed; among
them was the question of more books
for the library and the purchase of
new International encyclopedia.
This is to be placed in the high school
and the old one will be used in the
eighth grade.
MIR. New, the carpenter, recently
put a lock on our front door and now
the doors can be closed on a cold,
stormy day without being locked,
which could not be done before this
year.
Some of our people should study
the question of street education y
1t more than balances what can be
taught in the public schools"
The High School Literary society
gave its regular semi-monthly pro-
gram last Friday at 2 p. m. The
readings, recitations and debates CEN
tered about Benedict Arnold, the
debate being upon the question,
Resolved, That Benedict Arnold
was justified in betraying his country"
Seneca Munro and John McEvers
for the affirmative and Mac Scoheld
and Earl Cotton for the negative.
The decision (upon the argument
preSented) was two to one in favor
of the affirmative. The speakers on
this side used the insanity plea;"
that Arnold was SO miStreated that he
was really crazed and hence not re-
sponsible for his acts. These speak
ers have evidently been reading some
of our latter day trials or brain
storms. - Ida Kube recited the
Death or Benedict Arnold; Ida
Wickman gave "The Unknown
Rider" Susie Overman read of the
Execution of Mayor Andre;
Elbrah Harrah paper on the "Life
of Benedict Arnold" Besides the
above, there was a recitation by Elsie
Unterman, Go Hang Another
by Carrie Stantial, "Topsy." A
darkey selection, de Ship of Faith,''
by Charles Horning, and a dialogue
between Bessie Hamill and Fannie
McGrew, Biddy's Trials Among
the Yankees. =" This was followed
by German dialect selection given
by Wayne Arnold, entitled dot
Baby of Nine; and lastly selection
by Carl Wannenwetsch, "Nebuchad-
nezzer" Carl was dressed and col
ored for the occasion and brought
roars of laughter from those present.
The music for the day consisted of
two choruSeS by the school and
piano duet by Vera Allen and Mrs.
Johnson.
