Such an interest has been taken in
the high school of the present day hap
penings that nearly every Tuesday
some up-to-the-minute event or situa-
ton is voted on by all the pupils in
high school to find what the majority
of the pupils think about these mat
ters. All the measures thus far have
been carried by fair sized plurality
Following the triangular debate the
question, Resolved: That the Short Bal
lot Should be Adopted in All Municipal
Elections, was voted on and carried by
about seventy-fiye or hundred purali-
ty. Next the question of woman's suf-
frage was voted on and it was also car
ried. Then the question arose of having
city hall in which the affirmative
was again victorious over the negative.
The question to be voted on next
Tuesday is. Do you Uphold President
Wilson in His Peace Policy with Mexl.
co? AS the question that is to be vot.
ed on is stated about five days before
the voting the pupils have ample
chance to think the matter over thor
oughly and look at it from all sides
