THE DEBATE"

It is duty imposed at birth to make
the best use of every talent Of which
we are possessed; it is equally duty to
make ourselves as agreeable in our in
| tercourse with our fellow-creatures as
ouropportunities may permit. Politeness
coupled with an attractiveness of man
ners, is the passport which admits US to
the favorable attention of our fellow
men; but something more than suavity
and outword polish is required to COM
mand the consideration and continued
higher respect of the world. The cltlz-
en- who would form at least unit in
the republic must be competent to weld
the pen, and when called upon or duty
commands, be prepared to address his
country men or associates inte.ligently
upon the question of the day. The re-
sponsibility thrust upon the people
by a republican form of government un-
der which we live, peretuated in its
purity and efficiency by the logic of
Choate, the wisdom of Webs ter, and
Fthe eioquence of a Day caused US to or
GAME Debating society to give there
young people chance to develop their
hidden abilities.

tive statements and dwelt upon Stats
teal proofs as we'll as some main OPP
position features.
Emma Carney possesses the happy
faculty of driving home her points in a
convincing manner and then clinching
them Her enunciaton was very dis
tinct.
By previous agreement each side was
allowed a few minutes for rebUttal. H.

and at every stage knew his territory.

subject matter we'll in hand.
John Dickinson hada pleasing per-
sonality, YVES perfectly at home on the
platform, and with his quaint humor
intermingled with slight touch of
sarcasm gave a new flavor to the de-
bate. 1t was difficult task for a

every credit for careful preparation.
All in all, every member on either team
should feel proud of the fact that you
are laying the foundation for greater
things and will improve by any errors
