LITERARY SOCIETIES WILL GIVE
PROGRAM.

The program for the first public meet
ing of the two literary societies has been
arranged by the two program COM
mittees under the direction of Principal
Hutson. The program is scheduled to
take place on the night of Wednesday,
January fifth. If the interest which
the public took in the programs OF last
year is to be any indication of their
success this year, these programs ought
to be we'll attended. The nature OF the
programs has been changed so as to
make them more interesting for both the
pupils and the audience. The rather dry
and slow book reviews and essays have
been cut out, and their place has been
taken by extempore speeches and musical
numbers.
The subject of the debate should bring
out very interested crowd. The de-
baters will argue and attempt to settle
to their own satisfaction the question OF
prohibiting the export of munitions to
the warning European nations.
