The allegations made during trial
for "blasphemy' raises the whole ques-
tion Of courtesy and kindness in pub
lie discussion. Ridicule and sarcasm
are permissible, and effective weapons
in debate, but mere vulgarity and
abuse or irreverence in dealing with
subjects that are sacred to others, are
not to be confounded with free speech
and cannot be tolerated.-Lloyd's S

schoolboys who declalmed "The boy
stoodon the burning deck, whensall
buttim I'D fed" have been laughed OF
the platform, and now, like Fourth Of
July spread-eagle orators, are only a
memory Of the older generation. But
the declaiming schoolboy, for all his
sheepish slurring Of words and vocif-
erous false emphases, got one great
beneft-practice in standing on his
feet before an audience. To give his
successors similar practice, forensic
debating under proper instruction is
clearly the thing for upper grammar
classes, high schools and academies.
Debating means not only speaking but
thinking, and is therefore more valua-
Bile than speaking pieces" A recent
leafiet Of the New England Association
Of Teachers Of English makes a strong
plea for the encouragement on the
part Of teachers and parents of organ
lied debate between schoolboys. 1t
has the excitement of contest, is re-
lated to the teaching Of English, and
has bearing on a moral question
that has vexed our schools-the ques-
tion Of secret fraternities and clubs.
These societies usually have nothing
important to do. The presence in
every school Of one or more debating
societies would satisfy in a healthy
way the mysterious desire Of young
men and women TO belong to some
thing"
