s%<<%<%>>>>~> >-<>> ~<<><<><>
Rome. April 3:-Our school as a
whole seems to take a great interest
in the war situation. The eleventh
grade, having just studied argument
in composition, prepared very in-
teresting debate in class work. The
query was: Resolved, That the
United States should spend at least
one year IN preparation before en-
tering into war with Germany
The class Of ten was equally divided
and the debate was thoroughly dis
cussed on both sides. Our English
teacher, Miss Jackson. made the de-
cision in favor of the affirmative.
This being a question of such vital
Importance, as we'll as suitable to the
occasion. some of the patrons, after
hearing how we'll it was discussed,
requested that the debate be repeat
ed at a meeting nf the Francis Mar
ion literary society held last Friday
night:
All the papers were handed in to
Miss Jackson, from which she select
ed two of the best from each side,
viz: Affirmative, Barnie Williams,
DuRant Rhem; negative, Martie
Owens. Clifford Eaddy. The rest of
the papers were turned over to the
four selected.
At the date appointed. the society
was called to order by Llewellyn
Pope, president pro tenn. The audi.
ence was led in prayer by Rev P A
Murray, after which the following
programme was rendered:
Song, "Hats of other days" by six
young ladies'.
Male quartette-'Don't bite the hand
that's feeding you."
Debate Resolved, That the United
States should spend at least one year
before entering into warwith Germany, -
The judges were: Mrs L B john
son, Hon B B Chandler, chairman of
the board of trustees, and Prof E V
Yates. After the judges had retired
for their decision, beautiful instru-
mental duets were rendered by
Misses Bush and Haddock. Prof
Yates announced the decision of the
judges in favor of the negative.
The remaining members of the class
who had hitherto upheld the mega
tive seemed as if they would go wild
over their victory. The song, Wake
Up, America, was sung by the sixth
and seventh grade girls, s,and Dixie"
and America" by the audience, af-
ter which delicious refreshments
we're served.
We are trying to organize COM
pany of men and boys for home pro-
lection in case the Germans should
attack us, finding US unprepared. 1t
seems rather difficult to get some
men of the community interested in
this work. We are capable of fur
nishing twenty or twenty-five school
boys, who seem to be very much in
terested. We spend while each day
drilling. So ar,under the leadership
of Profs O NJ Mitchell and E V
Yates, We have learned a few COM
mands. We are glad to say that we
have offered to US any assistance that
can be rendered by Prof Yates. who
is a recent graduate of a military
college and we'll trained. We hope
to put in good time while he is with
US, because we understand that his
intention is to 60 to the front if war
is declared. Col Holmes B Springs
has promised to secure guns for Us
if we are successful in our organiza-
ton. We sincerely hope that we
shall succeed. for we don't want to
have to fight the Germans with hight
wood knots. LITERARY EDITOR.
