The exercises of the city public
schools at the Auditorium last nigh,
were greatly enjoyed by all who at
tended.
The main feature was the joint de-
bate of the high school,. 1t was ex-
pected that the Gulfport school would
take part in the debate, but 1t was
learned almost too late to supply
places that the Gulfport debaters were
no coming, and hence some of hhe
speakers had very little opportunity
to study the subject.
The subject which was discussed
was one of patriotism, fealty to party,
and to convictions. 1t was ably dis
cussed by the students and the two
teachers who assisted them.
The question, as stated for discus
sion was: Resolved, That in current
political questions, a mans allegiance
should be to his convictions rather
than to his party"
Decision in favor of the affirmative
Judges-Luther James, Clyde R.
Conner and H. Katz.
Affirmative Speakers-John Perry,

paily News the number of educable
children in the city of Hattiesburg for
the year 1908 shows a substantial in
crease over the number in 1906-Hat-
tiesburg's most prosperous year. .

as it has been in the past, but there
is no better way of finding out about
the matter than to take the number
of children here and Judge by that.
Based on this calculation. the city is
much larger than it was even a year
