Every school district ought to have . de-
batting society. A great deal of valuable In.
formation Is impaired In the discussions.
Men, by participating In the discussions, &C.
custom themselves to speaking in public,
and, with proper practice, can engage in the
debates in larger public bodies. Public
speaking Is an art. and. like ~allarts, can only
be acquired by practice. The time OF the
spectators is passed pleasantly as we'll as
proftably at debating societies, and II they
were not there they might be at worse places.
BY all means help organize a debating eoci-
ETY. In every school district. Have also read
Ing and spelling schools, lectures and farm.

furnish good examples to the young folks.
