NORTHWESTERN WINS
METHoDIsTs DEFEAT GoPHERs
IN CENTRAL DEBATING LEAGUE
PRELIMINARY IN UNIVERSITY
CHAPEL.

Northwestern won from Minnesota,
in the Central Debating league prelimi-
nary held in the university chapel last
night and will meet the winner Of the
Chicago Michigan debate for the league
championship. The question was 9 Re-
solved, That the United States should
establish q fiscal protectorate over any
West Indies, Central and South Ameri-
can republic whenever it shall mani
fest a chronic failure to meet it's for
eign financial obligation. Granted, that
neither these republics nor any other
foreign nation would object. =
Minnesota had the affirmative, and
while individually the gopher debaters
outclassed the Methodists in style and
delivery, instead Of showing the gener-
al application of the proposition to the
South American countries, they dwelt
at length upon the DOMINICAN treaty
and canal zone conditions. The North
western men took more general view
Of the subject and were quick to take
advantage of tho narrow view taken
by the Minnesotans to push them into
a corner and beat up their arguments.
Former Governor 8. r. Van Sdnt, who
presided, announced that the vote stood
2 to in favor Of the negative.
The Minnesota speakers were all good
and the victory was won more by gen
eralship than eloquence.
The Judges, taken from the Iowa SUI
preme bench, were Judges p. McClane,
G. A. Bishop and j. G. SherWin.

CATHEDRAL AT ST. PAUL COULD
NOT HOLD ALL
Archbishop Ireland Delivers an Flo
quent Eulogy Over the Caaket Of the
Priest Who Was the First to Garry
the Gross Into Many Parts Of the
Northwest. @

Never in its history has the cathedral
at st. Paul held a larger assemblage
than that which today attended the
.funeral services over the remains of
Father Augustin Ravoux, the north
western pioneer Of his church. Hun
dreds of mourners filed the church and
there was not a vacant seat in the large
building, while in the rear people stood
In a solid mass, making it almost i'm
possible for the ushers to keep the
doors closed. Services began at 10
progress the people continued to come
in. The shadows Of death seemed to
hover about the church in the form Of
the heavy black Grape draperies, and
the bands Of black which were draped
from the cupola to the chancel, at the
foot Of which stood the coffin covered
with a black pail crossed in white.
Three tall altar candles burned at
either side of the coffin.
Archbishop John Ireland preached
the sermon and Bishop Thomas O'Gor-
man Of Sioux City, conducted the sol
emn requiem mass.
footsteps Of those who carry the mes
sage Of peace, = were the words on
which the archbishop based his sermon.
He spoke at length on the noble life
and the self-saorifice of Augustin Ra-
voux for his church and for the saliva
ton Of humanity. ..
The full cathedral choir sang in ac-
compartment of the mass rs
Following the services at the cathe-
dral the body was escorted by the
priests to Calvary cemetery where it
was laid to rest in the priests lot.
The pallbearers were, Rev. Messrs. G..

PREPARING FOR INSTITUTE:

Quite little rivalry has arisen among
the young people Of the different de-
nominations Of the twin cities in con-
nection with the Young People Is Mis-
sionary institute to be held at Westmin-
ster church Jan. 81 to Feb. q. The
work of acquainting the. young people
with the institute is being done thru
the medium of the denominat iona1
unions, Of which there are many IN
Minneapolis, tho not so many in st.
Paul. The Twin City Luther league,
Otto johnson, president; the. EpWorth
league, R. Abrams. Minneapolis, presi-
dent, and f. e. Miller, st. Paul, presi-
dent; the Presbyterian union, b. G.
Gongrsegational union, Harold Hunting,
Minneapolis, president-the.se are all at
work registering delegates in their own
denominations. It is confidently ex-
pected that the limit Of 400 will be
reached long before the workers who
will have charge reach the cities.
Many young church-goeTs are EN-
ployed thru the day and cannot attend
the morning and afternoon sessions. At
their meeting at the Dayton tearoom,
Thursday noon, the local committee in
charge voted to have evening classes
and to open them the first evening,
thus enabling the workers to get the
benefit Of the class work, which is the
chief feature of the. institute. The
registration ticket will also entitle the
holder to reserved seat at the three
public evening lectures sezs

EASY FOR PosToFFICE

Seed catalogs are keeping the clerks
in the sorting department Of the post
office busy this week. This is the
season when all the big seed and mail.
order houses are sending out their cat
alloys for the spring trade, and every
day since Monday 10000 or more
pieces of this sort Of mail have passed
thru the office. Wednesday holds the
record with 10000 pieces.
The task of handling this food of
second class matter is D heavy one, and
the sorting force will be glad when
the rush is over. One firm has light
ened the work Of the office somewhat
by sending in nothing but the wrap
pers which will enclose its catalogs.
These are sorted with ease and are
then returned to the firm. Clerks en-
close the catalogs in the wrappers, TAX
ing care not to disturb their order. The
mail so made up goes direct to the
dispatching room and does not have
to be sorted again.
In addition to the great mass Of cat
alloys stacked in the mailing room,
over one hundred sacks Of newspapers
and periodicals are being held there
pending the payment Of postage.

WOULD KEEP PUPILS
UNDER ONE TEACHER

DR.. O. NJ. Jordan, superintendent Of
schools, at a meeting of the board Of
education this afternoon presented q
plan for the rotation Of eighth grade
teachers so that each teacher will take
charge Of the class as it enters that
grade and remain with il thru the year
finally preparing it For graduation.
Several Of the schools have from two
to four eight grade rooms. The a
room teacher remains in a room thru
out the year, as does the B room
teacher. When the class enters the
grade it is taken in charge by one
teacher and at the beginning Of the
second semester is transferred to an
other room and another teacher.
DR.. Jordan Is Of the opinion that it
is better for both teacher and pupils
to remain together thruout the year.
The plan has been tried with success
at the Madison school. There is some
opposition to the plan, not only among
the teachers, but among the members
Of the board Of education.
