In conclusion allow me to say a
few words in favor of debating |
society. In a debating society we
learn to express our views on any
question that may arise in a respect |
able manner. Today the world is
men who can speak in a |
brief and respectable manner. II |
losen't want men who have to stam- |
ner and go on trying to tell anything |
md If society does its duty il will |
init the time of the speakers and |
'ause them to collect and bring their
thoughts down in as brief form as
possible to be understood. | believe |
| good debating society is worth as
much TO the boys Of a school as al
most anything else. because IN this
hey can get knowledge along almost
very line except mathematics. II
lelps them in their language and If
'ou get some good question and get
hem interested they study and learn
much history concerning it. Now in
rider to make DEBATING society Of
worth, we must have rules and see
hat they are enforced because If you
ont have order you had better have
10 debating society.
Also the girls OF a school should
ave society, and write essays and
ave recitations, etc.
The contest has ended and every
hing worked out very pleasing ii
Boy.
