CENTRAL HIGH. NOTES
Preparation For Debates

The English department has an
nounced the subject that has been
decided upon for the Teangle de-
bates, and has issued call for stu
dents to try out for the school teams.
The subject decided upon by the
three high schools in the league is
Resolved, That Military Training
Should Be Adopted in the United
States. This subject was not sub
mitted by Central, and is one that
has been debated on time and time
again by schools and debating So
cieties all over the state. Central
submitted an up-to-date subject on
the government control of railroads,
but the former one seemed to appeal
to the other two schools. Although
this latter subject is an old one, Cen
trail will strain every effort to pro-
duce winning team. Whether or
not there will be ipter-sectional and
interclass debates to select the best
students for the team to represent
the school, has not been announced
This method has been used in pre-
vious years, and has produced won
derful results.
