disputes in the form of warfare.
But with the rapid strides OF civil
ization, warfare has given way TO
debate, the modern way of setting
disputes.
The topic for debate was stated
as follows: Resolved, that the
United States should take lmmedl-
ate steps to establish the Philippine
people in an independent govern
ment." On the affirmative side
were Allie Ronka and Edward Han
son. Cecilia Nankervis, Elaine And
erson and Mike Evonocheck COM
tossed the negative side. The neg
alive side won the debate on the
following points: l. The Philippine
people are incapable of governing
themselves. 2. Because of japanese
interests in the island. 3. That it
would be a betrayal to the Philip
pine race The affirmative side was
handicapped by the absence of one
of the speakers but nevertheless put
up some stiff opposition.
Misses Gunderson, l.. Tombs and
Deringer officiated as judges.

Soldier, who fought for love of
war. Imagine a Hindenburg hat
ing war"
Then he took us back to the Civil
War days and told us of General
Grants career as a soldier. His
bull dog tenacity and unconquerable
determination were qualities which
Mr.. White said, distinguished Grant
as a soldier and which stood by
him on the day when he won the
great victory at Shiloh. After the
war, in 1868, Gen. Grant was elect
ed President of the United States
and served two terms, His admin

noteworthy, showed we'll his high,

The Opportunity Glass is proud
of the fact that they wove rug

Baseball.
The Major League baseball sea-
son opened up about a month ago.
Tuesday the Range League took its
initial start. So, its about time
for the High Schools ball fingers
to begin to chase the OF sphere.
Many boys have said that they
will come out for baseball. 1t is
hoped that they will, for then each
class will be represented fairly and
by its best men when the Inter
class baseball event is pulled off.
Baseball is called our National
Came. 1t most likely is, so come
out and prove it. 1t would be a
GOOD thing for all baseball candi-
dates to come out for track, so
hat they may develop their wind
and use their legs.
II Sou "aHI YOUR CLASS TO win the
nter-class SERIES come out and help
them do it!
Courtesy During Lecture.
We ought to know by this time
hat it is not proper etiquette to
talk in whispers while an instructor
or speaker is talking. However,
here are still some of us who
cont seem to look at it from this
angle. Talking in an undertono
during a lecture is not only dis
courteous to the speaker but is
aggravating to those who are try-
,ng to get the points of the talk.
Many of us have been in that posi-
ION some time or other and have
Kissed an interesting lecture to our
disadvantage. The next time YOU
have. something to tell your chum
N the next seat save Il to discuss
after class.
The domestic science classes are
