Nebraska Debaters Excel.

Mr.. Raymond concludes with the rela-
ton OF the Nebraska High school debat-
ing to the commonwealth:
More remarkable, however, than any
strict university phase OF the Systems
development has been its growth through
out the state. or this growth the most
striking feature and one unique not
only I'm the middle west but Throughout
the country as WELLS the Nebraska
High School Debating league. Organized
by Prof. Fogg with a membership of
only thirty schools, 1t has grown within
five years to a membership of seventy
five--b-y- far the largest league of the
kind i'm the United States. -"
Tho growth of the league is the last
! and the conclusive word on the history
of intercollegiate debate at Nebraska. As
| a means of bringing the university into
| touch with it's constituency and Of car
rying the university discipline to the peo-
! pie of the state. the relation of the 'sys-
tenn to the progress OF the institution
! is direct and vital OF greater value
however. and of wider significance, is its
contribution, through the trained minds
| and quickening imaginations of hundreds
Of young citizens, to the material and
moral upbuilding Of the state itself
Straight thought. and ability to distin-
guish the essential from the non-essentia
these. i'm the broader culture, which Is
part of Nebraska's future, must he ncces'

he said, until we make the teachers

who moves about from town to town

keep his self respect. Therefore, -
is necessary in the first place to make
The teachers position permanent as
it is in Switzerland. This can be
done by providing him with a home
and a farm which he like the clergy

"It will make him a part of the

put him in a position where he can

influences in the lives of the child

without which the country school

This transforming of the teacher
