PHILOMATHEANS STUDY "THE NOVEL.." At the last meeting, the Philoma thean Society enjoyed an evening de voted to the study of "The Novel." The subject was discussed from the earliest steps in the development of the Romance up to the time of the present day novel. Miss Clegg's synopsis of Harold Bell Wright's la test novel, "When a Man's a Man," was unusually interesting. Every 'girl was held spell-bound as the story was so beautifully pictured. The oth er numbers were interesting as well as instructive. The program was as follows: History of the Novel —Gladys Fair cloth. Debate, Resolved, that the average novel is injurious to character. Af firmative, Mary Coble; negative, An nie Henley. Review of a Present Day Novel— Marie Clegg. Instrumental Solo—Donna Mc- Bane. Carrie Yates, Elsie Clegg and Francis MoCrackin were appointed judges for the debate. They decided in favor of the affirmative. Very gladly did the Philomatheans welcome into their society the follow ing girls: Mary Dixon, Lula RaiforcJ, Naomi Tomlinson and Mary Menden hall. After a favorable critic's report by Ruth Coltrane, society adjourned. NEW MEN SHOW UP WELL. Clay Society Debates Text Book Ques tion. When President Shelton called the society to order on Friday night, Sep tember 21, it was interesting to note the splendid attendance of both old and new men. The program for the evening was as follows: Debate, Resolved, that the State of North Carolina should furnish free text-books to all her pub lic schools. Curtis Newlin and R. S. Casey upheld the affirmative, while B. L. White and R. K. Farlow ably defended the negative. Messrs. Far low and Newlin were new men and clearly manifested their ability in debating. Following this hotly dis cussed argument P. W. Townsend de livered an oration in a most impres sive manner. The presence of a goodly number of visitors spurred those on the program to their best efforts. Each new man seemed favorably impressed and confirmed this fact by liis excellent behavior and encourag ing remarks. The society was pleased to receive into membership: Messrs. Murry White, Hugh White, Richard Brooks, Thomas Cox, and to re-in state a former Clay, Mr. H. L. John son. After having finished other busi ness the society adjourned much en couraged.
