The members of the high school
debating society have had some in
teresting arguments recently on
various topics. Some days ago the
subject of Womans' Suffrage was
brought up to be settled once and for
all time. Those in favor of giving
the fair sex equal rights of citizen
ship with men were Prof. Trainor and
Will Duncalf. The negative side of
the question was taken by Clyde
Goble and Matthew Peacock. The
anti -suffragists after hard work
managed to win out. Last Wednes-
day evening the following questions
was debated: Resolved That United
States Senators should be elected by
popular vote. The affirmative side of
the questinon was argued by George
Hannaford and Edwin Knoble and the
negative by Bert Chandler and Arthur
Knapp. The negative side won the
honors in this combat of words. "
These debates have been both interest
ing and profitable. AS a rule the
participants spend much time in
preparation and gain great deal of
benefit therefrom. 1t is doubtful
whether any form of school activities
outside the regular work is OF more
value than the debating society.
The high school boys are negotiating
with other schools in the hopes Of
scheduling at least one joint deba to
before the close of the school year
