The High School Debate.
The mnual High School De
bate, wiich occurs between all
Universty Accredited High
Schools;hroughout the state was
held in the court house in Cum
ming Ftdav night, March 24th,
with Cu, ling and Canton High
School's participating. The func
tion wa: one of pleasure as well
as instr ction and the young men
and Wcnen who participated
:done thmselves credit as well as
their tfichers. These are the
features that the community as
well as tie county at large should
enjoy. *
On th3 occasion we had with
us Supt.W. H. Maxwell of Ros
well, Suit. W. T. Harrison and
Mrs. Horison of Alpharetta as
judges. The judges at Canton
were Sipt, W. W. Linton, of
BalLGroind, Col, Lattimore and
Mr. Smih Johnson of Woodstock
We are huebted to all these par
ties for heir kindness on this oc
casion.
As thii was an incomplete tri
angle tfe'.t Cumming and Canton
were plaieu on, it took the form
of what s known as a draw de
bate a*k the side winning the
most points has the decision. On
this occasion Cumming won at
Canton four points and at heme
they won one point, which made
a score o’ five points to the cred
it of Cunming and only a score
of three points for Canton High
School.
This victory is a distinct com
pliment to 1 the pupils and the
community, as this is the first
year that Cum.uing.has attained
sufficient prestige and force to
enter these contests. The team
of debaters will debate the ques
tion again on the Negative side
at Toccoa, Ga., April 27th. Our
opponents on this occasion will
be TocCba. Winder and Com
merce and here is hoping that
the boys will vindicate them
selves again as they did on the
previous occasion. The team
work as a whole is the best we
have ever had and we hope that
these young champions will meet
with the united encouragement
of the community. The debaters
at Cumming were, Broughton
Durham and Herbert Kirby, the
debaters from Canton were Roy
Price and Virginia Doss. The
debaters at Canton were Charles
Brown, Royston Ingram from
Cumming and Hazel Hogan and
Ben Christopher, Canton.
We hope to meet our high
school friends in all the events
offered at Toccoa on April 27th
and 28th.
It is also necessary to acknowl
edge the hospitality of the good
people of Canton. The enter
tainment was delightful and their
attitude as losers is to be admired

Statistics prove that there is a relative number of incom
petent parents to incorrigible children. Of course the par
ents in their turn may not have had proper rearing, but the
fact remains that these neglected children will be criminals,
the paupers, and the undesirables in the society of the future
High school boys and some not so high demand the priv
ilege of attending pool halls. Now' why should a pool hall
be a good man’s special aversion for his son? Certainly not
because there is anything wrong with the game of pool but
because in many places a very undesirable class of people
frequent pool halls because it is a place of leisure, where
they are always sure of company and where they are not con
stantly and unpleasantly reminded of work. But when boys
are told by officers to keep away from such places they very
impudently inform the officers that “they should mind their
own business. Father doesn’t care,” This may not be the
literal truth but it'is proof that the lad does not entertain any
very high degree of respect for his father and that, unless
the boy happens to be a degenerate, is the father’s fault.
But many fathers are lacking in any sanse of responsibili
ty. They would rather their sons w'ould hang about the pool
halls than stay at home in the evenings for fear some of their
own leisure hours may be distuibed. It is useless and avails
nothing to condemn the pool room proprietor for allowing
youngsters in his place of business. If the parents do not
object, why should he make himself the guardian of their
morals.
What is really needed is the education of the parents in
their duty toward their children. A place to rleep and eat
and clothes to wear is not sufficient. Parents owe their chil
dren much more than this and they are indeed unnatural pa
rents if instinct does not inform them of their further duties.
Young people are often-wishing their lives away, little
thinking how enjoyable the piesent may he. They are con-
looking forward to things next week, next month, or
next year, and wishing that the time would fly by until the
longed-for hour ariives. But little do they realize that they
are foregoing many pleasures in the meantime, due to the
fact that they are not making the most of the passing min
utes. But as age creeps on this fault vanishes, and we are
only too glad to prolong each hour.
Wo do not hear so much any more on the evils of ciga
rette smoking. Is it that they have paled into insignificance
w'hen compared with other evils or is it that our morals are
becoming so generally corrupted that cigarette smoking is no
longer an evil?
Certainly there are evils which on the surface appear much
more flagrant than the evil of smoking cigarettes but just
how much the greater evils may have grown out of the lesser
ones it is impossible to say.
It is our private opinion, however, that the growing boy
who smokes cigarettes need not worry about his future. He
has none:
Formerly when thieves broke into liquor stores and saloons
and stole wet goods and money, the liquor men would
promptly invoke the aid of the sheriff and police in running
down the thieves and bringing them to justice. Do we see
any of the brewers or liquor men nowadays making com
plaint to the authorities about the violation of tne prohibition
law? No. All one notices are the sneets in the wet news
papers and a contemptuous pointing to the impossibility of
enforcing prohibition. With tne great demand on the Fed
eral government for money, it is impossible to get much for
use in prohibition enforcement, and only a comparatively
small number of law violators are brought to account. How
ever, the drys must not get discouraged. It would be atiag
edy, if the saloon were again inflicted on the nation, and vig
ilance is necessary if we are to keep what we have gained.
The liquor business never was an advantage to anyone ex
cept the brewers and distillers, and we should not be influ
enced to vote for light wines and beer simply because a few
law breakers and men howlersin each of the big centers are
denouncing the prohibition law as a failure.
