FAvoRs HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES.
Prof. G.. :. McDermott Advocates
Them Before HIGH School Council.

Them Before High School Council.
High School Debates" was the chief
topic discussed before the high school
council at the state capitol yesterday
morning. Prof. E. E. McDermott, of
h state university, read the paper
which provoked the discussion.
Debate is desirable under proper
conditions" the paper stated, because
it develops f1uency in the use Of Eng
lish; ability to think before an audi
ence; and skill to sift material for
argument. High schools offer proper
conditions for the successful study of
debate because the students are old
enough to pursue it proitably, and the
high school course although crowded,
is not so badly crowded that it can
afford to omit SO Important an exer-
else"
Prof. McDermott declared that the
interscholastic debate, such as is con-
templated by the Minnesota High
School Debating league, was prefer
able to the purely local debate because
it makes the schools better acquainted
with each other and brings them into
healthful rivalry; by comparing stand
ards it unifies the work throughout the
state n tends to bring all the schools
up to the same high plane; it can be
made to serve as a valuable aid to the
discipline of the school.
In answer to the argument that the
rivalry brought about by the league is
at least occasionally unhealthful, Mr..
McDermott said that such experience
was an inevitable incident of be-
ginning that could and doubtless would
wear away in the high schools as it is
doing in the universities.
The paper was discussed by o. T.
Denny, of the ST. Paul high school;
Supt. E. B. Uline, of Mankato, and
Supt. F. l.. Bauer, of LIE Sueur.
