KINGSTBEE HIGH SCHOOL Friday afternoon the Wee Nee Lit rary society celebrated Cicero's )irth-month by a very interesting ind instructive programme. The first number was, "The Story >f Komuius ana Kemus, tne rouna?rsof Rome," by George Hammet. Daisy Strong then entertained the ludienee by reciting in Latin, the X>em, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Roy Baker read a paper on the 'Life of Caesar," which was follow>d by a reading, "Mark Antony's Cration at the Death ??f Caesar," by Leora Gamble. The fifth number was a paper on, 'The Life of Cicero," by Minnie strong. In place of the reporters' papers, which usually consist of the reading Df current events, there were reports made of important events and interesting facts about the Rome of 2,000 years ago. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the programme was the debate, "Resolved: That, the study of r _* 1 - ?1 1 1- J a! Latin snouia De requireu in uie punic hisrh schools." Both the pros ind cons took a lively interest, and some excellent point* were brought >ut. Some reasons given why Latin should not be required were: 1. Latin is so difficult that it has >ecome a mind and body killer. 2. It often causes pupils to leave school from the 8th grade and acept a $25 job, beyond which he arely ever rises on account of his ack of education. 3. In order to go through the ligh school, a pupil is often tempted 0 get it dishonestly through the tse of "ponies." 4. Latin requires about. twohirds of the pupils' time; pence the ;nowledge gained, though valuable, s not worth the price paid. 5. The mastery of philology, the tudy of the origin and use of words, a vyel! as the history of the English anguage requires much less time, ,nd is easier. By studying philology 1 pupil rqay easily abandon Latin. 6. Well educated men have adised the study of Latin, but they iave also advised the study of "faiy tales" such as those given in the 'Heart of Oak" classics. In this msy. progressive Amerca, children hould not be required to waste their ime on faii-y tales and dead lan uages. Some of the points brought out iy the affirmative were: 1. All that is best in our literaure, music, art, sculpture, agriculure and government ha3 come down o us directly from the Romans, or adirectly from the Greeks through he Romans as a medium. It is as mpossible to enter into the thoughts ,nd feelings of these glorious people xcept by direct translations as it irould be to understand and appreiale the writing of Shakespeare by eading a criticism of his work. 2. A thorough knowlecge of English cannot be obtained without ome knowledge of Latin. 3. The study of Latin helps as lothing else can in the spelling and lerivation of English words. 4. The chief value of the high ehool branches is the mental trainng they give. Few, if any, are ever nit into actual practice. As a mind rainer Latin is second to none. 5. We need Latin socially?numlerless Latin phrases are constantly 'floating in the air," as it were. 6. We need Latin from an educational standpoint, because the coleges either require some knowledge >r it on entrance or tney require it >f some other foreign language? ^Vench, German, Spanish and most >f the other languages are based lpon Latin, hence we need all the ^atin the high school can give, to irepare us for the study of other anguages. 7. We need l^atin in the business vorld; conciseness combined with irecision are. the two business essenials. Caesar's message to the Senite, "4 Veni,vidi,vici" illustrates the iuperiority of the Latin in both hese respects,and explains why doc* _ i -ii # i ors, lawyers ana omer proiessionai nen make such constant use of Latn. It is a fact worth mentioning hat every member of the society, ind,in fact,every pupil of the Kingsree High school,is a student of ^atin. The decision of the judges renlered in fayor of the affirmative /as doubtless gratifying to them. ' I | Rheumatic? 9 arp mn'eklv relieved b\' an aoplicatii I Liniment. You don't need to rub lightly.

Last year Williamsburg county had her first Athletic and Oratorical contest among the high schools of the county. This year it is our plan to have a contest among the common school grades as well. It will probably be advisable to have separate dates and places for the respective contests. Among the features for the lower grades we wish to have runninc. broad iumDin:? and hicrh jumping, an apple race for the girls and at night a spelling match made up of representatives of as many of our schools as will enter pupils below the 8th grade. I am now writing to you to ask that you attend a meeting at the Kingstree school at 12 m., Saturday, February 15, to aid us in making arrangements for these contests. All of our teachers, both high and common schools, are earnestly requested to be present. We hope to see you there. With best wishes, I am, Yours sicerely, J G McCullough, Co Supt Ed.
