Whitehall Grading
To Start on Oct. Is.

A delegation of merchants went be-
fore Councils Streets Committee Fri
day afternoon and urged that the re-
grading OF whitehall street be post
poned until next spring, on the ground
that the beginning Of the work now
would interfere with the holiday
trade. The committee refused TO re-
open the matter.
1t was explained that all arrange
ments had been made to begin the
work October 10, and the estimate of
Chief of Construction Clayton was
that 1t would not require more than
six weeks time. The bump between
Mitchell street and Trinity avenue is

Plan Embraces Monthly Debates and Production
of Original Plays.

while Miss Louise Youngblood and
Miss Marian Morgan debated for the
negative. The negative side won. the
judges, Miss Margaret Mckee, Miss
Katherine Darby and Miss Ruth Nc
MILAN, voting unanimously
None of the girls who took part in
the debate had copies of their ad-
dresses, but spoke from notes. The
speeches were surprisingly good, and
showed thought and effort in prepa-
ration. Only the pupils Of the school
and the faculty heard the debate, the
general public being excluded because
Of lack of room.
Miss Muse expects great results
from the work planned for the so
ciety.
The ability to form ones ideas and
express them" she said, SIS of in
tinitely more Importance than the
ability to collect and express the ideas
Of someone else. By holding the de-
bates and presenting the little plays
we hope to induce the girls to form
and express original thought.
The fact that woman suffrage was
chosen as the subject Of the first
debate does not mean that the votes
for women propaganda is being
taught in the schools We chose the
subject merely because it is an up
to-date topic and something in which
all women are interested, whether
they are suffragists or not"

A radical departure from prevailing
methods Of English work is planned
by the members Of the Mallon Liter
airy Society Of the Girls High School,
under the direction Of Miss Jessie
Muse, principal Of the school.
Instead of allowing the girls who
belong to the society to utilize their
monthly meetings to express the
ideas and thoughts Of others, 1t is
planned to give them work that will
aid in the creation of original ideas
and encourage the development of an
ability to express them.
The work win take the form Of a
series Of debates on 1--we topics, and
the presentation of short, simple
plays that will give the members of
the society an opportunity to de-
velop and express their individual
fly.
For the next meeting the girls are
planning the production Of short
play. in which nearly a score Of them
will take part. Later in the year it is
planned for the girls to collaborate
and write and produce an original
play.
Suffragists Lose First Test.
The first debate in the new form Of
work was held Friday afternoon,
when four members Of the senior
class debated the question of woman's
suffrage. 1t was the first debate Of
any kind the girls have ever held,
and the first time that woman suf-
frage had invaded the high school.
The affirmative side Of the argu-
ment was upheld by Miss Lilly
Harmsen and Miss Nersacola Ball

The village trustees evidently

not like to take the responsibility Of
acting on Attorney C. A. Maurer's
bills and a village meeting is to be
called to consider the question, No
body really blames the trustees for
being inclined to let the voters shout
der the responsibility but isn't it a
fact that the trustees are in posi-
ton to act on the matter more intel
ligentlys and to better advantage than
a village meeting? The voters have
neither the time, the facilities or the
inclination to look the points in the
case up in detail The best they can
do is to hear little superficial ar
gument and then jump at conclus-
ion. The trustees have better data
and more knowledge on which to
form an opinion. There is no que
ton but that Mr.. Maurers bills are
far larger than anybody expected and
that there is a general feeling in the
village against paying them. For this
reason If for no other care should be
taken to do exact justice. Mr.. Maur-
er should be paid fair price for
work done and no more or less, but
a village meeting is hardly the place
to settle business matter of this
kind.

The Poles on South Branch Street

Gently gave hearing to a number of
Bennington residents who objected
to the location of telephone line on
a certain street in that village. 1t
seems that the village trustees had
granted the location but the petit
TONERS felt that the officials had
made an error and so went to Messrs
Watson, Warner and Babbitt with
their case. If the decision of these
honorable gentlemen is correctly re-
ported by the Bennington Banner it
represents a peculiar attitude. The
petition was dismissed, not on the
ground that it was without merit,
but because a change in the location
of the line would be expensive for the
telephone company! In commenting
upon the report the Banner makes
this brief but pertinent comment:
And the telephone company is an
eighty million dollar corporation that
earns from IA to 16 per cent annual

Visible Sound Waves.

Curious luminous circles or arcs. del

seen over the craters of vesuyius and
Etna-one at each explosion. A study
of this strange phenomenon has been
made by Mr.. Frank A. Ferret, who
has witnessed it hundreds of times.
and he concludes that these flashing
arcs" as he calls them. are really
sound waves made visible for an in
,tant, the rate of propagation of the
images seeming to be about that of
sound. The appearance is analogous
TO the air waves seen above heated
roofs.
