Yesterday the second debate was given
on the following topic. "Resolved, That I
China will some day rival the United !.
States commercially The affirmative .
was supported by Isabel Beattie and
Frances Fadden, while the negative side
was argued by Reginald Johnston and I
Cedric Snyder. Both sides did some ex-
cellent arguing and the judges, Prin. n.
II. jackson and Miss Partridge, were
scarcely able to reach a decision. Owing
to the careful handling of the subject by
young Johnston, the negative side won.
1t must be mentioned, however, that Z
Miss Beattie exhibited unusual ability !
in her delivery, as did Miss Fadden J
while Cedric Snyder brought out the
largest number of reasons why China
will never rival the United States. The
volunteers, Dorothy Shaw, Ruth Veno,
Harold Morrison and John Gates, adj
fanced some very fine points in favor Of I
he negative.
