The Social Club scored a huge success on Thursday evening. The programme started with a piano du«i by Mb. Bauch and Mrs. Gauthier; a reading from the "Fort^Georgfc Record" followed and gave much amusement. It dealt with topics of the day in humorous style, and the local allusions caused merriment and were all tefcen in good part. "Our" Mr—DeS;kin~got-his full~ share of criticism, und , a reference to his journey to Vernon evoked cheers which "might, have-been heard there had the wind been powerful enough to have carried the distance. Another new feature of the evening was a dialogue in- character by Mrs. Pnilftps arid -Mj-s. Hunter, who "appeared respectively to have become ridiculously fat or. painfully thin, with the u-id of some ingenious contrivance, or it may have been' patent medicincB. They gradually returned to normal; then changing again by swelling or fading as the case may be, only with a change of persons, they finally appeared as exact oppo-sites of what they started. The roars of laughter caused by these comical metamorphoses were only stopped by the announcement of a debate on a subject that afforded no room for jocularity—the quwntion! of whether reading; was not more profitable than travel. This interested the boys, most, of; whom would rather travel. on foot to'Prince and see the movies than read through the Encyclopedia Britannica. The title of the debate was'sufficiently vague to puzzle the brains of those taking part in it, but they went at it courageously. Mr. Krown, as headmaster of the schools, naturally took the academic side Ql the question, and F. J. Shearer, his leading opponent, who has.travelled not a.little, the opposite. Mr. Wede-ineyfjr raised the only smile by a reference to the Irish gentlemen who took a trip to another continent with his bundle on his shoulder. Mr. Rutherford, who apoice well, brought the discussion to a close. The voting seemed pretty even, but a recount was ordered when a juvenile voter held up both hands. On the second showing this delinquent baby held up his feet as well, so got him-self ruled out altogether. His Honor Judge Robertson, who presided, declared the motion carried by a majority of three. He called "on the boys and' girls present to shake off their diffidence and give to the community the.benefit of. the talents they were known to possess! \ '•
There was a large number of school children present and tWir ex-einplary behavior whb a caustic com^ mentary on 'the policy of- exclusion which kept thetn away, from '.similar
