Last Friday evening Mr. Cunning ham, of the science department, ''i'aVe a very Interesting lecture, before the toys of the Blackwell Literary socie ty, his subject being: "The Making of a Wtfrld." The lecture was. all the; more enjoyed ' because of the large number of illustrative slides shown by the projection, lantern which was bought at the beginning of the year. Mr. Cunningham began his lecture; by explaining the scientific theory of the formation of stars and planets. According to scientific theories" these bodies are the result of the gradual solidification of , dust-like gases or nebulae which are in motion in space. Scientists believe that the entire so lar system of which the earth Is ja part was once a huge mass of molten material whirling rapidly through "rooters." Tho scores were as fol lows: ; MONDAY.

The tie will probably be played off Monday after noon in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The contest promises tp be a spirit ed one and will draw a large crowd of spectators from the high school. The annual basketball tournament has beKun to fill a very important place in the athletic life of the school r wniruug ie ,A.r . Since the tournaments were begun Because of its rapid motion, J moIlw L1Iont sDace. fragments of this mass were thrown; off into space, where they continued in motion, revolving around the greater bodyb I The central mass we now call the sun. The fragments, after many changes, have become the earth and the other planets. As. the surfaces or crusta of these masses, cooled at unequal rates, mountain ranges and other geographical phe nomena resulted. Mr. Cunningham next discussed the development of plant and animal life upon the earth. His treatment of an imal life was made very interesting by the showing ; of numerous slides which pictured , (various pre-;historlc animalB. At the conclusion of his lecture Mr. Cunningham explained the scientific conception of the end of the earth. The earth, scientists say, is gradually cooling. After this process has gone on for a' long period of time perhaps millions of years, the earth will have become entirely cooled and will then be arid and uninhabitable, as the moon is now. ' This lecture is the second that Mr. Cunningham has given before the so ciety. His lectures are always on some important scientific theory, and they are intensely interesting.

COMMUNITY CLUB MEETING AT EDGEMONT. (By Hunter Reams, fourth year.) On last Thursday evening the citi zens of the Edgemont school district held a community meeting in the as sembly hall of the school. Many other meetings similar to this have been held in the past, and they have grown very popular. The primary reason for this meet ing was the showing of a set of slide pictures illustrating the causes, ef fects, methods of prevention and cure of tuberculosis. The pictures, thrown upon the screen by means of a projection macmne in me assem bly hall, showed forth very clearly the facts about the awful disease. Th j meaning of the pictures was made Dlain to the large audience by Dr. Cheatham, ' who stood upon! the plat form and explained briefly, yet fully, each picture as it came upon the screen, giving also wnoiesome aavice of his own on the subject A report was later heard from the chairman of a committee that had been appointed to see about several improvements suggested for the school. It was found that a rather promising start had been made to wards a circulating library for tne school, a sum of something over sev enty dollars having been subscribed Hews and Advertisements fion i'J.

He mentioned several much needed Improvements and ad ditions which he hoped it would soon be Dosalble to secure for the school Among those of primary importance were a better heating system, an en lareement of the rainer small play ground, a 'gymnasium, the develop ment. and the addition of a manual training course. Mr. iPusev stated that a new heat ing system was being tried in one of the rooms of the scnool, ana mat. u mieht. if nroven superior to the one now in use, .be instauea inrougnoui th hniiHin? He called attention to the crowded condition of the play rround during recess times, and said that in case of na improvement this would be worse next year oecause n the expected entrance of many new pupils. He remarked that It was hoped a gymnasium, equipped wnn shower Ibaths, might be set up in the basement of the building for th? use of the pupils. He also mentioned the interest shown by the nlgn scnool pupils In the manual training and do mestic science departments, and that shown by the Edgemont school girls in the domestic science department lately installed in their school. He .rivnpatui thn idea of DUttinff in a workshop for the boys and develop ing this department, and that of the girls' domestic science. He stated, as one reason tor his stand, that many of the pupils do not get to the high cohrwii nd. without these two cours es in the elementary school, would be deprived of the benefits to be derived therefrom. Mr. Pusey expressed a hope tnat these Improvements might soon oe Rorured for the school, but his hope was mingled with doubt, for the sat isfying of these urgent needs de mands the carrying of tne scnool hond issue, as the funds now avail able for such purposes are decidedly insufficient Mr. Pusey brought out the advantages of the bond issue in thn treat rood to be accomplished by it.
