Wits Versus Convictions.
From the Outlook.

In the first chapter of his autobiography
Mr. Roosevelt criticised, very directly, the
almost universal custom OF making inter-
collegiate debating contest of wits rath-
er than convictions. He said In part:
Personally have not the slightest SYM
pathy with debating contests in which
each side is arbitrarily assigned given
proposition and told to maintain 1t with
maintaining 1t believe In 1t or not. Tho
present method Of carrying on debates en-
courages precisely the wrong attitude
is no effort to instiil sincerity and intens-
ity of conviction. On the contrary, the
net result is to make the contestants feel
that their convictions have nothing to do
with their arguments, am exceedingly
glad that did not take part in the type
of debate in which stress Is laid, not upon
getting speaker to think rightly, but on
which he is assigned. without regard eth
er to what his convictions are or to what
they ought to be-
This statement has aroused no little dis

artiiciality of my speech was as apparent
to the judges as 1t was to myself, and we
lost the debate largely because my speech
failed to carry conviction. Moreover,
have never ceased feeling thoroughly
ashamed for having yielded to the persua-
sion Of the debate managers. Throughout
the trials, which extended over period
of several weeks, and in the course OF
which / spoke as believed, points and
illustrations suggested themselves spon-
taneously. In reading, my mind grasped

dence. came out feeling bitter and sick

Mr.. Won Kaltenberg concludes this
heartfelt protest with the following ex-
