School Notes. Death of Mrs. Mildred Small. Mrs. Mildred Small, wife of F. D. Small, died on Saturday afternoon at her temporary residence in Portland, aged 33 years, 11 months and 2 days. The deceased had been ill for several years, and had resided in California w>th the hope of regaining her health. She came back to Oregon and to Till amook, but left for Portland a few weeks ago. The cause of death was consumption, and when she returned from California it was only a ques tion of time when she would pass away. Besides her husband, the de ceased leaves two children, Edna_, aged 11 years and Carl, aged 15 years. The funeral service was held at the residence in Portland on Tuesday morning, and the burial in the Rose City Park Cemetery. Th>! deceased was highly respected in this county, and had many friends, who deplore her lingering illness, and whose sympathy is with the bereaved husband and children. Half a dozen boys of the High School have peen very busy for a month or more, getting ready for the debate tryouts. The preliminary try out on December 12 resulted in the contestants being given the following rank; Delmer Powers, first; Lee Doty second; Charles Lamb, third; Nelson Powers, fourth, Clark Embum, fifth; Ernest Church, sixth. Mr. Hardesty, the coach, Miss Currey of the faculty, and Mr. Cloyd Dawson, a debator of renown, were the judges. The final tryout December 21 showed marked improvement by all. The initial debates occur January 12, our negative team going to Gas ton to meet their affirmative and Forest Grove sending their negative here to discuss the question with the local affirmative. The question con cerns the adoption of a health in surance law for Oregon. The teams and coach are going to get in some very careful and persis tent work before January 12. Mr. Hardesty will return with the com- ' ing of the new year and he and the boys will devote the last week of I their vacation to a thorough organ ization of arguments and a careful polishing of delivery. All concerned are working hard and we expect good results. The boys are going to do well. We hope they may win in the preliminary debates and so get outside of the district. For this work, each member of the team earns a credit equivalent to that for a semester work in any reg ular subject.
