Another one of Washington's boys
has won honors at college this year
and the news of his good fortune
I will be hailed w!(h genuine pleasure
by his hosts of friends here. The
fortunate young man is none other
than Mr. Thomas D. Sparrow, son
of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Sparrow,
who Is a student at Davidson College.
He was one of the debaters In
tho recent-French-'Soph debate at
that institution last week and was
declared by the judges on that occa.
I sion tho winner of the modal. When
I this young man graduated from the
Washington public schools he won
tho John II. Small history medal
"The Davidsonlan," published by the
college students at Davidson has th?j
following to say of the debate, which
will prove interesting reading to Mr,
Sparrow's friends and former fellau
students in Washington:
"On Saturday night. April 11, th?
regular Fresh-Soph debate was con
tested in both the Eumenean and
Philanthropic societies. The subjeci
for debate was: 'Resolved, That it i'
to the best interests of America!
municipalities to own and operate
their own electric, gas and tractloi
plants.' In the Philanthropic socle
ty the medal was awarded by th?
Judges, Dr. M. E. Sentelle, Dr. J. M
Doug as. and Dr. T. M. McConnell
to T. D. Sparrow, of the negative
- In the Eumenean society the onl
I man on the negative was T. O. Pal
ton, who, however, so ably upheld hi
sldo that he was awarded the meda!
' The judges in the Eutnenean eociet
wore Dr. T. W. *Llngle, Dr. M. C
Pulton, and Dr. C. tft. Harding. Di
Sentelle. in speaking of the debate
complimented the debaters vet

The Exhibition
Did Not Differ Materially
From Those Conducted 'fl
Here-to-fore. Gives Taxpayers
Opportunity to Become
Acqaln ted With Their I
Greatest Institution.
Yesterday was the annual exhibit J
day at the public school and one
hundred and thirty.one persons visited
the school to Inspect the grade
and amount of work being done by
the children of the town. The purpose
of setting apart a day in which
the work of the school may be exhibited
is not to parade the accomplishments
of the teachers or pupils;
It is more designed to offer
the opportunity for the taxpayers to
get acquainted with their greatest
of all Institutions?the school. It
was gratifying to. the teachers and
friends of the school to know that
to many of Washington's clticens
showed their interest by their presence.
Rev. K M. Snipes conducted the
devotional exorcises for the day. af.
u?r wiiicii Mr. Campbell read the
highest averages of each grade for -Jthe
month. Then a pleco of Instrumental
music, two recitations and a iH
chapel exercises.
The exhibit this year did not dlf- ^
fer materially from those of preceding
years. More originality was encoutaged,
the pupil In most cases being
left to his own resources In the
selection of a suitable subject. Many
papers were left uncorrected so that
the visitors might see the pupil's
work before It had reached tho hands
of the teacher.
Probably the most Interesting ex.
htblts, however, wero those of the
primary and kindergarten grades.
The free hand cutting, the coloring,
and drawing In these grades were
very creditable Indeed. Tho higher
grades, the grammar and High
schools, did excellent work in the
selection and execution of the designs
of the different subjects, many
of the pupils displaying real art and
the penlor class in geometry was unusually
praiseworthy as was also the
exhibit of the history department
throughout the High school. WlUle
Johnston's model of the guillotine
and tho soap made by tbe sdlonce
department attracted u good defe? of
favorable comment.
All In all the exhibit was a great
success and If sbch days did nothing
more than awaken friendly interest
{ and co-operation In the school, tt
. has served a most useful purpose.
