Liierary Society. The Sparta High School has a very successful Literary Society under the supervision of the Principal. In 1898 the Literary Society was reorganized and was afterwards known as the Philomathean Literary Society of the Sparta High School. It convened once every two weeks. The officers were the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Sergeant-at-arms, and aprogram com- mittee. This committee planned a program con- sisting of debates, orations, recitations, essays, dialogues, music, etc. for each meeting. The so- ciety always took active part in open debate which was both interesting and instructive. The meeting was thrown open to the public about once in four or ive weeks, the committee having prepared a special program for the even- ing. Since 1901 instead of the meetings bein gat night they have been held on Friday afternoons. The studies for the last quarter of the day are dis- pensed with, and the programs are conducted by the different classes, Seniors, Juniors, Sopho- mores and Freshmen. Each performer is graded on whatever part he takes on the program. There seems to be more interest in this later method. One reason, no doubt, is because each one is grad- ed, and another because each class tries to sur- pass the others. 1'
