HARRIET DAVlDS WINNER.
Awarded First Place in Declamatory
Contest for Serious Selections
William Walker Wins Humorous II
WORK OF MISS CoULT PRAISED

It was not without difficulty that
the judges in the high school decla-
matory contest last evening decided
the winners, so close was the compe-
tition. Harriet Davids and William
Walker won first prizes in the Sc
rious and humorous selections re-
spectively. Miss Davids recited
"The Soul of the Violin," displaying
marked ability as an elocutionist. In
awarding her first place the decision
of the judges was unanimous. +
Impersonating an Englishman,
William Walker gave Fin de siecle,"'
keeping the large audience in con-
|tinual laughter. Carrying a mona
Gle and showing distinct prof.
cheney with his Don't cha know
his selection made decided hit.
Daniel Carney spoke on 'sThe Re-
turn of Regulus'' in most pleasing
manner and he was awarded second
place in the serious selections. In
the humorous contest Charles Hay
craft was given second place, his
piece being "The Race Question. =
Haycraft appeared as a dark faced
comedian and his efforts brought
forth much applause. Haycraft won
over Edwin Simons, who recited
"Mince Pies," by narrow margin.
Simon's selection was without doubt
the most difficult of the humorous
readings and his skill in bringing
out amusing points won him much
credit
Other readings, 1.-THE Doctors Last
Journey" by Leonora Ryan; "Sel-
my Morrow's To Home" by Marion
Segal, and Harvard Mascot" by
Lucille Young were cleverly pre-
scented.
The musical selections were much
enjoyed, the Boys Glee club giving
two numbers; Miss Myrtle Neumann
singing 1.-THE Kerry Dance" and
Misses Margaret Newton and Edith
Erwin singing ooh, That We Two
We're Maying."
To Miss Clarice Coult, under whose
direction the contest was arranged,
belongs much credit for the success
of the affair, every participant play
ing part on the program which re-
fected great credit on her tutorship.
In congratulating the students upon
the excellent showing made W. p.
Dyer, superintendent, praised the
work of Miss Coult in high terms, ex-
pressing regret that contests of the
same nature had not been planned
for earlier in the year.
The judges Of the contest were
Mrs. E. F. Netzer, Graham M. Tor
rance and Dr. E. H. Marcum.

Not Internal Warfare Now.

Not Internal Warfare Now.
II must refer to the last previous
occasion in which I appeared here"
said Mrs. Pankhurst on her opening
night. I'VE were engaged at that
time in internal warfare-warfare on
the part of women who were denied
by the government of the country
what. they considered their legitimate
rights of citizenship.

fighting about rights: tonight we
are fighting for duties. In face of

their duties" Lloyd-George, Pre-
mier Asquith-all the men of the

miserable by the criticism and phys

II am thankful and proud to say"

Thank heaven, we decided to come

1.-The Germans thought we were d.
decadent people. One of the reasons
was that they saw in this country
women engaged with men in political
warfare"
Just in this part of Mrs. Pank-
bursts speech came her trump card.
Find Courage in Men.
1.-The Germans are not good psy-
biologists" she said. "They should
have known that the country in
which the women have courage to
fight is country where you will find
courage in men. Where you have
women crushed you will find men
of inferior quality"
This paragraph in Mrs. Pank-
bursts speech always brings roar
of cheers.
"The Germans thought the suffra-
gists would continue their fight in
war time" continued the militant
leader. What a mistake! When
you are attacked by the enemy with
