PROGRAM FOR LITERARY
SOCIETY NOVEMBER TENTH

The regular program of the Farm
ington Literary Society will be given
next Friday night, in the High School
Auditorium, for which the following
program has been announced:
Piano Solo-Miss Leila Davis.
Reading-Miss Iva Brewer.
Vocal Solo-Miss Agnes Halle.
Debate-The debaters to be repre-
sentatives of the High School and
the Ozark Business University.
Pianolog-Miss May Cover.
Decision of Judges and Adjournment.
The program given last Friday
night was thoroughly pleasing to the
record d-breaking crowd which was
present, and by many declared to be
the best program so far given by the
Society. The idea appears to per-
sist with astonishing fixity that the
Pennington Literary Society has
something to do with the work of the
High School. In fact some of the
numbers given have been sharply
criticized as unsuitable for rendition
upon the High School platform"
Those connected with the enterprise
and responsible for its success, while
firm friends of the High School and
all it represents, consented to serve
in the Pennington Literary Society
only because the enterprise is mu-
nicipal factor unconnected with any
school, church, organization, sect,
creed or clique. The accident that the
programs are given at the High School
Auditorium has as its basis only the
fact that no other place is available
in which to give this kind of enter
tainments--though a town like Farm
ington certainly should have central
assembly point of its own as many
towns have. If the enterprise is to
be regarded as d High School activ-
ity, then those in charge of the High
School have both the ability and the
material to carry on this work as a
High School activity, without the help
of several score of others who are in
no way connected with local educa-
tion.
