URGES ATTENDANCE At
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE

To the Citizens of Pendleton:
There is an earnest effort being put
forth by the faculty and students of
the high school to develop the liter
airy side along with the athletic ac-
| tivities.
The state university realized the
same need throughout the high schools
Of the state and chiefly due to the
! efforts of President Campbell and
Prof. De Cou, state debating league
has been organized. Pendleton is
member of this league, as are all the
other larger schools of the state, and
the young men who represent the
high school have worked hard and
have made very creditable showing,
having defeated La Grande high
school, the first competitor.
The organization Of the league has
stimulated an interest in debating in
the high schools to such an extent that
ii has become one of the recognized
activities of the school and the resi-
dents realize that it should be sup
ported as are the other activities.
So far as the league is concerned, il F!
is splendid thing and will accom-
plish much for the young men and |
women of the state lr the several COM
munities in which the debates take !
place will properly support them, but
find upon investigation that the de- |
bates have not been supported as they
should have been.
1t is especially difficult in eastern
Oregon to carry out the idea of the .
league on account of the expenses in
Cured owing to the great distance
that must be travelled by teams and
judges.
do not feel that this expense
should be borne by a few business
men of the city but that each and
every one, who is interested in the
should contribute his part
l offer this letter that the citizens
IF Pendleton might better understand /
the situation and what it means to
he high school. for them to attend
he debates, thus lending their finan-
,ial and personal support.
The second debate will take place
between the high school and sherman
county debating teams, at the Metho-
list church, Friday evening March 70,
md I sincerely hope that the citizens
If Pendleton will make a special ef-
'ort to come out and encourage the
'oung men who will represent us
Respectfully.
