shot, was put on by the teacher and
some Of the scholars and is said to
have been one d the best amateur
performances ever put ON anywhere.
Following this was a debate on the
subject of whether or not the towr
boy had amy advantage over the eoun
try boy in the chances of education
occupation and amusements, the de-
bators IN favor Of the country boy
being from the No. 4 community
and those for the town boy being pu

decision of the judges 10 the debate
was two to one in favor of the de
bators from town, but the question
was most ably discussed by the No
4 debators, and it was the opinion ol
many present that they should have
been given the decision. A good gen
eral program was also given, consist
ing of songs, readings and some
sleight-of-hand stunts that are sait
to have been extra good. Following
this was the box supper and all the
boxes were disposed of in a short
