HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Thursday, February 10, some of the
Boy Scouts gave an exhibition of some
of their activities. William Baker and
Merrill Thompson gave a demonstra-
ton of signaling; Jackson Taylor and
Judson Smith did some first aid on
boys supposed to have broken leg
and a cut above the eye. and Learder
Molter built fire by friction, hat is
a fire without the use of matches.
This was followed by a number Of
talks given by some of the visitors.
Geo. G. Driesbach, scout executive,
told the students the meaning Of
Scouting; M. c. Ewing, the president
OF the Wausau Scout Council, spoke
on the work that scouting has done
and G. G.. Kruger expressed what
scouting means to the boy. The other
visitors were Mayor Emil Flatter, Dr.
II. r. Hopkins and Alfred H. thinner
man.
The annual debate was held last
Friday in the high school assembly, hall.
The subject was: Resolved, That the
Esch-Cummins act is the best solution
for present railway problems" The
two main points that the affirmative
side brought out were that in private
ownership owners could pool their
various companies and fix their rates
accordingly and that in government
ownership strikes would be done away
with because the laboring men would
have cabinets to represent them in the
executive part Of the company. The
main points that the negative side
brought out were that under govern
ment ownership there would be an an
nual debt Of two billion dollars which
the people would have to pay; and
the other was that the less successful
railroads would have to charge the
same rate of fare that the better COM
panes charged The Wausau men
came back strong in the rebuttal, but
were defeated by the Amigo negative
by a two to one vote of the judges.
The judges were Chester Newton Of
Marshfeld. K. w. McCay of Merrill,
and Julius Windon of Wisconsin Ra-
pds.
