V.. WHITEANDGOLD 17 The Forum To the original Forum of Rome were taken all weighty matters that needed to be decided, and from its classic rostra were delivered those great orations that settled the mighty questions of that olden time. Like its name- sake, our Forum discusses and makes decisions upon many important mat- ters pertaining to the San Diego Normal School and the rest of the world. The question of XVomaIYS Suffrage has been debated and it has been decided that woman should not have the right to vote. It has also been agreed that there are not good and sufhcient reasons why the school spirit of this Normal School is inferior to that of the average secondary school, that expeditions in search of the north pole are not profitable. Altho this organization will celebrate its first birthdav this Christmas season, it can tell of marvellous g1'0wth in numbers and power. About this time just one year ago, some of our boys decided to create a fount of knowl- ' edge from which might flow streams of eloquence, wisdom and entertain.- ment. The first subject they undertook to discuss was llGirlsf, and after much thought and consideration they decided to allow them eo become members in this organization. After the girls had taken advantage of this opmrtunity it was decided to have a constitution, and a committee immediately set about this important task. After using up many brain cells and many sheets of fool's cap paper, a constitution was drawn up and adopted. This has stood the test of nearly three hundred and sixty-five davs and we trust it will serve for as many more years. At hrst a small though loyal band upheld the weight of this mighty constitution without aid, but soon there were dis- covered persons of rare ability and talent in the school who gladly joined them. N ow our Forum is supported by nearly half a hundred of Normal's Best, who feel proud that they can help in the work and share its advantag- es. The first president of the society was Mr. lValter Bigham and at the close of his term of office the gavel was put into the hands of Mr. Charles Butler. The officers at present are as follows: President, Ethel L. Crosby: vice-presitlent, Clayton lVight; Sec. alndTi'eas Olive Ault. Just now a few ltboom vibrations are passing over the society. A fresh spirit of interest and energy seems to have entered into the work and we hope it will stay with us and give the Forum much success in the coming,r year. On October 27th four members of the faculty indulged in a de- bate in the assembly room for the edification and amusement of the stu- dents. It was greatly appreciated by the members of the Forum. The sub- ject was: Resolved that literature has had more influence for good than the rest of the fine arts. Affirmativeellir. Thompson, Miss Pratt: negative Mr. Bliss, Miss Billings. On a petition being sent to the faculty, an arrangement was made by which students taking active part in the Forum might be given credit in the school for the work done in the society. The persons receiving this credit will be excused from some part of the regular work in the English and His- tory departments.

Nell Yates No one will ever know the sufferings I endured before taking music in the Training School, which revivedmy spirits and brought joy into my life. With the course comes the enjoyment of entertaining one,s friends with the two hours practice each night, the taking of Theory Pills: in large closes any time of the day, and the great benefit to be derived from warbling. Try it and see. Alice Ball I want my fellow sufferers to know of my miraculous cure. No amount of money could make me suffer again as I did from incoherent reci- tations. Let me implore any one so troubled, to take at least ten weeks' course in the Training School Grammar department. Teaching grammar is a remedy for all unconventionality and absorbs the attention of the teacher from morn till night. It sweetens the temper, clears the complex- ion, whitens the teeth, curls the hair, and is an all around remedy for all ills. I advise the teaching of grammar to all who are addicted to frequent out- bursts of feeling. After fifteen weeks' trial the worst case of disinterested- ness; guaranteed to be cured.

I can picture man making a living in any part of the globe or give information as to the best care of cows, the propagation of cactacae in Southern Cali- fornia, or hold children spell-bound by reciting: the names of all the capes, bays and islands of the world. I can recommend this treatment as a sure cure for any person troubled with excess of spirits.
