Description:	42THE NORMAL ADVANCEECLECTIC.The Eclectics are planning a debate on the question, Resolved, That equal suffrage is a benefit to the American home.The captain on the affirmative side is Miss Fay Wilson and on the negative side Miss Ruth St. John.A special musical program has been made for the evening of. the debate.The discussion of Walt Whitmans works have been discontinued, and the works of Sid¬ ney Lanier are now being discussed.Two new members have been added to our society, Misses Steepleton and Maehling.We regret to say that we have lost one of our best members, Miss Jennie Hayth, the vice- president. Miss Ruth St. John succeeded her in office.FORUM.The outlook for a great year for the Forum is the best in the history of the society. With seven (7) of the old members back in school the work started off with the real Forum spirit.The number of men in school is limited, but out of this number the Forum has been able to secure such gentlemen as Messrs. George Hahn, Clifford Blackman, Charles Dalton and Luther Troutman. These men are not only the best of students, but are also the kind of men in Avhom the society can anticipate a good future.Messrs. James Mackell, superintendent of the Montgomery schools, Montgomery, Ind., Clem Nugent, who is teaching in the Attica schools, H. LeRoy Carmack, who is teaching in the Vincennes schools, Warner Lowe, prin¬ cipal of Blackhawk schools, Lee Harshman, who is teaching near Terre Haute, and Chester Pike, The Stylesville Banker, all old Forum boys, came to Terre Haute on October 25 to greet old friends and attend the first Normal dance of the season.Every member intends to attend the annualdance at Indianapolis, given by the graduate members to the active members, on the night of December 23. Every active member knows that his presence is wanted at the occasion, so let us live up to the real Forum spirit and be right there to greet our old Forum boys and make the meeting % grand success.The society is manifesting a teal spirit in athletics. The Athletic Association has the service of Messrs. Rightsell, president Thomas Johnson, treasurer Bob Hoffman, baseball manager, and Andrew Mercker, custodian. And to prove to you Thomas Mahans interest in the national game you need only to notice his hair cut. It took them so close that his mustache and pompadour got an even start.A banquet was given in honor of the new members Friday evening, November 7. The object of the occasion was to welcome these new men. Extemporaneous talks were given by the several members in which all manifested a true Forum spirit. We were glad to have with us Mr. Lowe, who made an interesting talk. It is the ambition of the society to have a house by the winter term in order to give every mem¬ ber an opportunity to get the best there is-to be had through the association with his society brothers.The program committee has arranged a very interesting line of work for the term, and the increasing interests which the members are manifesting in the work is casting a whole¬ some influence over the society, as well as the individual members, and promises a good year for the Forum.PHIL OMA THE AN.The meetings of the Philomathean Literary Society during the past month have been profit¬ able and interesting. Most of the time has been given to the study of James M. Barrie and his works. The life of the author, his home circle, his friends, his methods of writ¬ ing, his style and mannerisms, and his place
