There are many parents who remove
the supplement from the papers when
received and destroy it, Other fathers
and mothers acknowledge their weak

Parents and teachers labor through
abe week 10 inculcate the virtues, hon

teachings are counteracted by the per

Kern, where bad manners. bOisterous

went a long way towards winning
for his team.
In the rebuttals Mr.. Lindley pre-
scented much stronger arguments
than his opponet Mr.. HeemStra,
but the latter gentleman had al
ready won for his side by his prev
ious strong appeal.
The Alma delegation is loud in
its praise Of all Hope College for
the many ccurtesies extended dur
igg their stay in Holland. Presi-
dent kollen, the members Of the
Faculty and all students did every
thing possible to entertain both
contestants and judges. An auto
ride about the city, a dinner party
at the ladies' dormitory, and visit
to all parts of the college were a
few OF the many courtesies shown.
Mr. Hurst accompanied the Alma
team as manager and d. r. BlaSke

While the Alma team were tast-
ing the pleasures Of victory at
home, tie delegation that was sent
to Holland for the contest with
Hope College upon the negative
side of the same subject as that de-
bated by Alma and OliVet, were
experiencing thc feelings Of an
adverse decision. The team that
went to compete deserves high
credit for the fine showing they
made for their college, but the odds
were against them. Alma was not
defeated because of the weakness
of her men, but because of the abil-
ity of the men from the western

Al Nh WINS AGAIN
In Intercollegiate Debate with Ollvet
at Alma.
UNANIMOUS DECISION
Ability and Clear Thinking Shown by Both
Teams.

Alma met her old rival, Olvet,
in the annual debate last Friday
evening in the college chapel and
at the close of the contest it was
found that the judges were
unanimously convinced that Alma
was the winner of the argument.
1t was clear cut victory all the
way through for the Maroon and
Cream debators, for at no stage OF
the contest did they appear to be
in any danger of losing. The sub
ject of the debate was, "Resolved
that the United states Government
Should Levy a Progressive Income
Tax, Constitutionality Conceded"
Alma defending the affirmative
side.
Prof. NoteStein presided and was
assisted with special selections of
music by Misses Broderick, Gray,
and Johnston. The judges were
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1910-04-14

and students adjourned to the re-
ception rooms of Wright Hall where
light speeches and light refresh
ments were INDUCED in.
Both teams are to be congratulate
ed upon their work and though the
decision was one sided the con-
test was close and exciting. Prof.
Adams has drilled his team faith
fully and unceasing for several
months but feel fully repaid and is
more than proud of the showing
the men have made.
AS Graves is the only man on
both teams that Alma will lose this
year, we ought to make another
good showing next year.
This makes two victories to one
defeat for Alma in the last three
annual debates with Olivet and
clearly shows that Alma has no
superiors in this line in the state.

LIBRARY ACQUISITIONS

Our magnificent library which

part of the state.

part of the state.
The judges OF the contest were
Judge n. ID. Jewell of Grand Rap
ids, Prof. Delos Fall of Albion and
Prof. G. b. Williams of Kalamazoo.
The decision of the judges at the
close of the contest gave two votes
to the Affirmative and one to the
Negative. Alma feels entirely sat
isfied with the work of these men
and wishes to express her gratitude
to them for their unselfish services.
Mr.. G. DeMotts of Hope was the
first speaker of the evening and he
outlined the arguments to be pre-
scented by the affirmative. Mr..
DeMotts was clear and concise in
his statements and laid well the
ground work for the argument
that were to follow.
Mr.. Lindley of Alma, the first
speaker for the negative, began his
speech with forcetul rebuttal of
some of the points made by Mr..
DeMotts and then began the con-
structive arguments for the mega
tive side. Mr.. Lindley spoke with
telling effect as he pointed out the
defects Of the affirmative arguments
and the strength of the position
maintained by the negative. In
the ease OF his manner and the
grace of his delivery, Mr.. Lindley
was probably first among the de.
baters upon the platform.
Mr. Wis, the second speaker for
the affirmative, delivered a forcefuI
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1910-04-14

did a great deal towards winning
the decision for Alma.
Glenn r. Townsend, the leader
of the negative side took up the
question from that point of veiw
and with a logical and rapid de-
livery added point after point and
seemingly knocked the supportings
from his opponents argument. Mr..
Townsend's delivery though per-
suasive was almost to fast for
clearneSs.
Adrain B. Graham the third
speaker for the affirmative made
his appearance as debator and
plainlyshowed that he is speaker
of ability. His speech was clear
logical, convincing and polished.
He very cleverly connected the
third speech of the affirmative and
made the audience feel confident
of another Alma victory.
Stuart S. Wall closed the con-
structive work for the negative
side and endeavored with the use
of charts and authorities to show
that the statistics of the affirmative
were not altogether conclusive.
His speech had considerable effect
both on the judges and audience.
His appeal was both forceful and
logical.
Mr.. Townsend in the negative
rebutal made effective use of his
fluency and very distinctly brought
forth all of the points of the mega
! tive and the short comings of the
affirmative. Mr.. Townsend fully
merited all the applause that he
drew from the audience.
Mr.. Graves, though he was un-
able to find the papers gave one of
the cleverest rebutalS ever heard
in Alma. Not only did he clearly
recount all the points of the aftirma-
tive but he skilfulIy appropriated
several points of his opponents by
his quick wit and insight When
he uttered his concluding sentence
and left the platform Alma rooters
showed by burst of applause we
would celebrate after the decisions
were read. And celebrate they
did a few minutes later. The air
was literally rent with yells and
whoopings when the decision was
announced to be unanimous.
After the enthusiasm had died
down a little the debators, Judges
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1910-04-14

and able to deliver a masterful ad-
dress the judges decided otherwise.
All honor 10 the other two men on
the Hope team, but we are forced
say that the contest was all but
won as soon as the speech of Mr.
Heemstra was completed.
Mr.. Call, the last speaker for the
negative, name maSterful appeal
for his side of the question by
quoting authorities as to the failure
of the Income Tax in European
countries. Mr.. Call was forceful and
very convincing in his delivery and

address, taking up the arguments
where Mr.. DeMottS had lett off, and
continuing them. There was CON
siderable merriment in the audience
as Mr.. Wis pointed several times to
the picture of the lean OK pulling
the load all alone while the great
big fat one, fit for the market, stood
off at one side and and chewed his
cud. Some clever artist at the col
lege had produced painting OF the
two bovines that will last in the
memory of every one who attended
the great debate, Nevertheless the
argument OF the fat OK and the lean
one was a strong point for the
affirmative.
Robert VonThurn spoke next for
the negative and produced an end

Supt. {. G. Warmer Of Saginaw,
and Professors G. S. Larzalere and
w. H. Wentworth of Mt. Pleasant.
E. A. Thompson, the first speaker
for Alma, defined the question and
clearly outlined the argument the
affirmative would take. He so
firmly established his ground that
his points of argument stood to the
last. His delivery was forceful
and his manner calm and deliberate.
Although his first year of college
work, Mr.. Thompson has already
developed into a debator of high
rank.
Mr.. A. S. Dennison was the first
speaker for Olivet and at once de-
fined the question from the mega
tive standpoint. Mr. DenniSon was
forceful and direct in his appeal
and put up some strong arguments
for his side of the question. He
was considered the strongest man
on the Olivet team from the stand
point OF delivery and clearness of
thought.
5. A. Graves, speaking next for
Alma very cleverly over threw
