Leonard Fem ONE out for the team
a little late in this his senior year. He
.und a line composed of veteran
linemen whose experience he lacked.
But by hard work he became a yalu.
able substitute. In almost any other
year he would have won a regular
place for himself on the team, for ne
is strong, fearless, and willing. We
regret very much that Leonard should
have waited until his senior year to
come out for the team.

Vote to Enter State Debating League
Wednesday afternoon the literary
societies voted to enter the State De.
batting League. The question that vii.
be debated was resolved: That the
United States should renounce the
I policy Of the Monroe Doctrine. TIL
question is n of moment to the pub.
lie at the present time and will be OF
interest to all. AS this is the high
schools maiden attempt at inter-high
school debates it is hard to estimate
the strength OF the team. 1t may be
stated that the same question will be
debated in the inter-society debates
and quite a little rivalry has already
been fostered in an effort to win the
Bank of Brookings prize.

Regular Teachers Meeting
Tuesday evening at the regular
monthly meeting of the grade teachers
Miss Bender exemplified primary read
ing with her B grade class present. 1t
was reported that the work was well
done by Miss Bender and many good
suggestions were brought out. Miss
Sorenson gave a very interesting dis
cussion on the subject of number
work. She has many excellent de-
vices which she made use of in her
discussion and will prove helpful to
teachers of the lower grades. Mr..
Cudd gave some excellent suggestions
in the teaching of arithmetic and stat
ed that more practical problems should
be given rather than spend so much
time and energy on problems that are
worthless and found only in text
books. Supt. Browning recommended
to the teachers to make all work at
tract.ve by reaching the child through
the things in which he is interested
and quoted from one of the daily
papers that come to the school:
"Oh. a troubles a ton or a troubles an
ounce
And a trouble is what you make it:
And it isn't how much you are hurt
that counts
But only-how did you take it."
