High School Notes

Miss Stuart will lead the S. C. A. meeting this afternoon. As most schools are having vacations this week, our visitors have been numerous. Prof. Pattengill spoke on "The Uses of the Word 'Prin' in Xenophon," Wednesday afternoon at the classical conference held in Newberry hall. The candidates tor the baseball team began practicing at the fair grounds, Wednesday. As there are several candidates for each position, probably the team will be better than that of last year. The members of the fraternities have stopped wearing their pins, but they have not disbanded. One society, at least, has adopted a new constitution, and when the suspensions are made probably they will try to prove that it is not a secret society. The following are the subjects for debate by the literary societies tonight: Arena - "Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished;" Clio - "Resolved, That the Nicaragua canal should be owned and controlled by the U. S.;" Lyceum - "Resolved, That the scientist has been of more benefit to mankind than the artist." At the annual meeting of the Michigan Schoolmasters' club in Newberry hall, today and tomorrow, Prof. Chute will read a paper "Laboratory Work; What? How? How Much?" Prof. Montgomery will discuss a paper on "The High School Course in Chemistry." Prof. Wines will discuss a paper on "-Modern Methods in Geometry."
