The State High School Defamation
Contests

The sixth annual State High School
auspices OF Yankton College, will take
place May 15, 1908. The committee of
the College faculty having charge OF
this Contest has just mailed to all the
high schools of the State copies of its
announcement aud invitation.
The high school athletic contests,
which hitherto have been connected
with the annual contest in defamation,
have been supended for this year. The
special announcement and invitation
read as follows:
The Faculty OF Yankton College
believes that the high school contests
in athletics and defamation original
ed by the College FIVE years ago have
been means of helpful stimulation
throughout the state TO those i'm
large number of high schools have
participated ia these confess from year
to year and have expressed their ap-
pr0val of them. 1t is believed, how
ever, although both contests have been
successful, that the contest in deciama-
ti0n has been OF decidedly greater
value. In consideration of this fact
and various other circumstances, it has
been decided to suspend the athletic
contest for this year and give added
emphasis to the contest in declama-
tion. The influence Of the con test in
defamation aft cots both boys and
girls, and calls forth, in the pre-
liminaries and 10 the final contest
the wholesome effort and rivalry ol
large numbers of students.
Accordingly, the Faculty OF Yank-
ton College extends TO your High
