In trying to estimate the Yalue o f the litera ry societies. \\'e find that th ey cannot be estimated too hi ghly. for they are of g reat ,,·orth both to the participant in the program and to the listener, a nd so should be p laced among the fi rst o rga niza tions o f the school. The practice afforded in these societ ies accu stoms the student to ex press him self be fore the public. for \\'hich they should be commended hig hly. If the literary societies should be remO\·ed from the school life. a void would be f elt l)y all. So let u s all be true. loyal \\'Orke rs 111 our litera r y societies.

CICERONIAN . DEBATING SOCIETY The C iceron ian Debat in g Club is a small nu mber of men of t he school ·wh o hold t he a rt of debating at a high premium. ]~ ,· e n· member o i th e club is an enthu siast as far as debating goes. Thi s club meets e\·e ry Saturday evening in the P hilomathean Hal l, and great is the \\·or k that it accomplis hes. E,·ery boy of the school may become a membe r if he chooses. a nd debate f requ ently, because the membership is qu ite sma ll. It is here the boys have the privi lege oi traini ng themseh·es for the ]..> rcl imin aries tha t come la ter in the yea r, a nd ,,.e take pride in be ing able to say tha t those boys ,,·ho ,,·on places on t he squad s \rere good, loyal m embe rs of old Cicero. They had had the priYi lege of debating before the mem bers of the C ice ron ian Club. wh ich prepared them for the strife tha t came la te r. The members endeavo red this yea r to keep the club goin g e-.ren a fter the Preliminaries, because debatin g ought to be j ust as good afte r the Preliminaries as b efore. Consequently the members. being so enthusiastic. have kept the good ,,·ork going and hope to put Cicero on a substantia l basis . )Jay tha t h npC' be realized. for great is the value of debating. \\ e, the members of the Ciceron ia n Debating Club, believe that a teacher has n ot clone his duty if he has not availed himself of eve ry opportun ity to develop his fo ren sic abili ties. Vv e believe that in order to teach th e youth of the la nd the teacher must un de rstand at least the art of debate. and if he has ma de debating a study . just tha t much g reater is he as a teacher.
