The debate was particularly good
and the negative speakers met the ar
guments of their opponents nicely. 1t
would be a fine thing fog colleges and
even high schools IL the kind of loyal
ty advocated in this debate were more
generally practiced, that loyalty which
causes n to refrain from tripping
his opponent, which causes a student
to study lessons and to deport himself
honorably wherever he is to be seen.
The concert given as the fifth num-
Der Of the lecture course last Saturday
evening was a treat and one of the
best eVer enjoyed here. Madam North
pleased her attentive audience in ev-
cry selection. h displayed not only
the temperament Of the artist but also
the ability to execute. MI. Meyer was
not a stranger to the people and he
pleased even more than formerly.
Madam Meyer en-Broeck, too, was
known as she and her brother gave a
concert some time ago in the hall.
Her solo selections on the piano were
not a disappointment to the audience
which was present to enjoy her artis-
tic playing.

Quite d number Of the present sen
Tor class are already located and re-
quests for teachers are coming in
daily. The outlook for locating the
present large class is encouraging and
1t appears that there will be little
trouble In locating all who desire DO
s%itions. Those boards who desire the
choice should make requests and Sc
lections early. Delay frequently dis
appoints both school boards and
teachers. Many times a teacher has
applied for a position but hears moth
ing and applied for another securing
1t. Then word comes from the first
board to the effect that it has elected
said candidate. 1t Is the purpose OF
the school to recommend to a place
such person as will, in all probability,
do successful work in that particular
| community.
