C. J. FREW, The Florist, ‘213 Broad St., Phone 1281-Main. 11 The Debating Club, under the supervision of Mr. Matson, is working hard to put up a creditable showing in the Interscholastic Debate. The Club is a new organization in C. H. S. and is purely honorary. For those members who do the required work there will be at Commencement a reward of a suitable emblem, carrying with it the significance of membership in an honorary society of the high school. The aim of the club is to develop in its members forceful oratory and to develop logical thinking. Let us all work together to make the Debating Club a success. PROTECT FEATHERED FRIENDS IS APPEAL PERSONALLY MADE BY COLONEL G. O. SHIELDS. Colonel G. O. Shields, one of the foremost figures of America in the world of the great outdoors, spoke to two large audiences in the auditorium Tuesday, February 27. His talk was upon birds in general and our duty in looking after their welfare. We owe gratitude to the Mothers’ Club for the privilege of listening to Colonel Shields, for it was they who brought him to Conneaut. As founder and president of the League of American Sportsmen, founder of the Campfire Girls of America, of which many girls in C. H. S. are members, and as publisher for seventeen years of “Recreation,” the great outdoor magazine, he has become recognized as an eminent authority of the subject to which he has given his attention for the last forty years. He spoke, in the forenoon, to the school children of the third to the sixth grades. In the afternoon he spoke to members of the Mothers’ club, under whose auspices he was brought here, and to students of the high school and the seventh and eighth grades. “The Conservation of Wild Life” was Colonel Shields’ theme. He spoke of the importance of birds and the part they play in our welfare. His talk was illustrated by many beautiful pictures which were thrown on a screen at the front of the auditorium. While not in sympathy with Colonel Shields’ slighting remarks about our foreign elements, we enjoyed his lecture very much and shall hope to have the pleasure of listening to him again. THE SIMPLIFIED GRADUATION. For some time much has been said about the unnecessary extravagance displayed at the modern graduation not only in the elaborate gowns worn by the girls but in the display of gifts sometimes equal to that of the modern bride. This not only causes feeling among those who are not as fortunate as others, but also detracts from the true spirit of graduation. We admire the sensible plan adopted by the graduating class this year. The class has voted to use the money which would otherwise be spent in useless extravagance, for a delightful and instructive trip to Washington under the chaperonage of Miss Kahler and Mr. and Mrs. Matson. When we consider the advantages and education derived from the trip to Washington, and how much more sensible it is to spend our money on

From earliest childhood we have been taught to know and love the gaunt homely features of Abraham Lincoln. When we repeat the well known address at Gettysburg it is with reverence for the great mind that conceived it. With our thoughts sobered by conditions in this country and abroad, with the war cloud hovering on all sides, the high moral qualities and statesmanship exemplified in Lincoln’s life and the crisis of the Civil War come forcibly back to us. Of humble parentage and no advantages in education, the career of Lincoln will always be upheld as one of the greatest of American presidents, and one by which we, with our present day advantages, may well profit. The years as they pass will show him to each generation as the highest type of American manhood, and an example of what firmness and sagacity of character with ambition to succeed, can do in the face of rude surroundings and few opportunities. THK DEBATING CLUB. Demosthenes and Cicero again in the limelight. Where? C. H. S. When? Every day to the Debating Club and on April 20 to the public.
