STATE 4. S. DEBATES
The Series of the Minnesota League
Will Begin Late This

for these debates are the first Friday in
October and the third Friday in January.
The nine districts are now under the
charge Of the district managers, each
manager being the principal Of the school
which won the senli-final contests last
year.
A serious objection has been raised by
some of the principals that the interest
taken in the contests detracts from atten-
ton to school work. The president OF the
league has issued a circular letter warn
ing the students and instructors against
allowing the debates to interfere with
other work.
Professor McDermott will read a paper
this winter. before the state educational
convention in which he will suggest'a pre-
veiltive for undue Interest in the debates

plished last year.
LIE Sueur, the winner Of the Journal cup
last year, is determined to keep it and has
prospects of a. strong team. Anoka, two
Harbors and FIibbing are among the new
schools to enter.
The final debate will be held at the uni

scented to the winning team. Severa
