The concert given by the High School Department Literary Seciety in the Opera Hoose on Tuesday even- ing was a suceess in every. respect. The program was exceptionally good and was given almost wholly- by the pupils of the ELS. Department. The large audience was kept interested throughout the two and one-half hours during which the program was being renclined., Happy and Pleasing ad dresses were delivered by Dr. Lutz, Chairmen of the meeting; Reeve Car- ling and Mr. P., Fra,yne. The solo by Mr. Fleming was sung in excellect voice and was well reeeived. Individ- ually or collectively the members of the Literary Society contributed chor- uses, readings and essays; as well as a vocal solo, violin solo, duet, wand drill, recitation, two scenes from "Sehool for Scandel," and a debate, all of which was rendered in an intevesting And pleasing manner. The debate was par- ticularly good, and was on- "Resolved that Manual Labor has done more for the world than Invention." The af- firmative was taken by Clinton Ho- garth and Winnie Carling, while the negative Was upheld hy Percy Hooper arid Winnie Howard. Rev. R. J. M. Perkins and Rev. Wm. Martin acted as judges and after carefully weighing the respeetive merits of the two cases decided in favor of the negative, the Rev. Godwin anuonucing the decieiou. The success of the concert reflects much credit upon Mr. Fleming and his assistants as well as ppori the Literary Society generally. Much time and pains must have been necessary in the preparation. The proeeeds amounted to about $65.
