annual Spartan-Athenia debate which
resulted in a sweeping victory for the
hardy, courageous. Lacedaemon

found it very hard TO decide but fin

must rest with the followers of Leon

quoted. and right fiercely from l:45
to $50 did the battle wage with each
side giving as good as they took.
Several of the best orators in the
High school we're ranged on each side
and it was one of the most interesting
debates which ever occurred on this
subject, which covers a period of
eight or ten years.
For the last three years the side
of Sparta has won but previous to
this IL is stated that Athens has more
victories tailed to her credit. As a
review of the history over which the
class had passed in the past few
months the debate could be unsur-
passed as every historic topic bearing
upon the rivalry of the two greatest
cities of ancient time, and almost
every question warfare. art, culture
and economics. which had bearing
upon this subject was covered from
the emigration OF the Greeks from
the steppes of Southern Russia to
the fall of Athen and Sparta and TO
