led to Settle all Disputes in Legally
Established Courts Of Arbitration
Richard Merrill, Ralph Traxler, and
Maude Wright will uphold the affirm
ative for Lamar high school. These
students have worked faithfully under
the direction Of Miss Chappell and no
doubt will do themselves, as well as
the school, honor in the way they will
handle the question The public is
requested to attend and encourage the
debaters by giving them a large and
appreciative audience. An admission
of 25 cents and 10 cents will be charg-
ed to meet the expenses.
A Good Idea
The Lamar teachers have shown
commenhable interest during the year
in making the acquaintances Of school
patrons, especially that of parents
whose children are under their in
struction. A new plan was inaugural
ed by Miss Odcll OF the high school
last week wk6n she invited the
mothers of the sophomore class to
meet with her at the high school
building for an informal social time
Each high school class has regularly
appointed adviser to help in the plan
ming of school courses, class affairs,
etc, Miss odell being the class ad-
wiser for the sophomores. On Thurs
day afternoon number of the mothers
were informally entertained by ner at
her room in the high school. After an
hour spent in pleasant conversation
tea and waters we're served. The fol-
lowing mothers were present: Mes
danes Cade, Dow ming, Inman, Myers,
Hillyer, MoKepney, Strain, Shilling,
Devermar ellie, Henkins, Davis, Hsr-
per, and Mclean. ha-etings of this
sort cannot fail to help to promote
the cordial relations b, tween patrons
and school so necessary to successful
school work.
