Speech Wins COmmendatlOn
in High School Debate
INVITED TO
VISIT STATE COLLEGE

Standing in the center Of the plat
form in the auditorium of the Will
mington High School. with all eyes
of the student body turned upon her,
Miss Mildred G. Booker, a student,
delivered a speech that elected much
commendation at the Monday morn
ing exercises of the school this morn
ing. Miss Booker took the affirma-
tive side Of debate against Thomas
Carswell on Resolved, That United
States Senators should be elected by
direct vote of the people"
Miss Bookers speech would have
done credit 10 one of much experience
as a speaker. Every word Of her ar
gument penetrated TO the utmost
corner of the room and although she
spoke only from few notes which
she held in her hand her flow of Ian
guage was as smooth and easy as II
her speech had been rehearsed for
the occasion. She will graduate in
June. Miss Booker said in part
"The opposition claims, that if al
lowed to elect Senators, the people
would vote by impulse; that is,
would elect a popular ideal Of the
day rather than a man who would
fill his position with dignity and
honor. II seems to me this is a re-
Election on the male sex. II when a
man has reached the voting age he
knows no better than to vote by i'm
pulse, It is about time he got to work
Americans, it seems to me, who have
such a great, glorious country TO
work for should prepare themselves
TO chose and chose wisely those who
are to govern them.
The opposition claims that system
is good. Perhaps so, but could 1t bl
better? We should not be satisfied
with a thing merely because it Il

Other speeches were delivered b
Thomas Carswell, who took the mega
