THOMAS DIXON
TALKS TO HIGH
SCHOOL PUPILS
KEYNOTE or HIS ADDRESS WAS
STRENGTH OF CHARACTER AND
HELD THE ATTENTION OF HIS
AUDIENCE.

Tuesday morning soon after ten
O'Clock the entire High School was
thrown into a furry Of excitement by
the arrival Of Mr.. Thomas Dixon. He
was escorted to the building by Eu-
gene Taylor, one of the high school
boys. in his automobile.
Mr. Lane introduced the speaker
with a. few appropriate remarks in
which he touched upon Mr.. Dixon's
achievements as a writer and lectur-
er.
The speaker was received with a
round of applause from the assembled
students, whom he held IN rapt atten-
ton for some twenty minutes. He De
gan with some "reminiscences of his
school days in North Carolina and
evoked considerable mirth in relating
his first love affair.
"Your school days are not your hap
piest days. said he. There is much
of joy and pleasure in store for you in
the years to come. However, want
to say to you that the impressions that
you are getting now will be the most
lasting of the impressions of life
He stated that the inspiration to be-
come writer came to him while in
school, but that he did not begin to

years Of age. you are going to do
what you say you will do. Anyway.
you will never do anything more than
you say you will do he said.
He emphasized the fact that there
are great opportunities for young folk
of literary inclinations in the field of
the drama or the new method of ex-
pressing thought. He contended that
this is practically the only profession
not already overcrowded.
He said: There are too many doc
tors in the world to-day; there are too
many preachers; there are too many
civil engineers; there are too many
lawyers. / can hire hundreds of law
yers in New York City to work for
ma at ten dollars a day. There is no
room for them. But in the field of
the new method of human speech, the
possibilities are unlimited
The keynote of his address was
strength of character, and he closed
with an eloquent appeal to the boys
and girls to will and to do heroic acts
and thus fulfill the great purpose of
their being. He made a profound
impr upon all who heard him,
and his visit to the high school will,
no doubt, be regarded as one of the
most important events of the year.

Last Ninht,s Event.

Two Of the most interesting events
in the group games of the all-round
efficiency contest were run off yester-
day in the intermediate class.
The dive for distance on mats was
probably the most spectacular of the
two events, but the 100-yard dash was
never lacking in interest. The dash
was run in four heats all of which
proved very exciting.
The winners were as follows: Dive
for Distance-Jake Kahn first (teE

scented at the Opera house last night

which has won fame for its author,
Thomas Dixon, and it's tour of the
south this season has been one of I'M
bounded success.
The audience was a large one and
had no criticism of the play or the

At the Isis.

Manager Davidson of the Isis has
prepared an entertaining program for
the patrons of the moving picture
palace today, but in his announcement
the names of the features are not
given. The reason is that the manager
is unable to state just what films will
arrive. He has about three different
sets scheduled to reach the city this
morning, any one of which will make
a most entertaining bill, but until he
opens them he is unable to say just
which he will show. The best however,
will be selected and the patrons OF the
Isis are assured of a first class pro-
gram.
OF course Mr.. Oliver will also enter
tain the audience and with the pictures
to be flashed the Isis will maintain its
usual high standard of shows.
