Interest Shown
in Spelling Bees

Old fashioned spelling bees are
becoming popular in Maine scholas-
tic circles. Eleven schools have al :
ready signified their intention OF haN-
ing matches in the near future and
have placed orders with DR.. Herbert
G. Libby for supplies of the Colby
Spelling book that was used in the
Colby Spelling bee d few weeks ago.
1t was the hope of those who origi-
mated the idea of spelling match
that they would institute good Gus
tom that had very nearly ceased to
exist. This is one Of the Colby con-
tributions to the movement for bet
ter English that is going on in the
United States at the present time
The following schools have adopted
the spelling bee plan: High schools,
Lisbon. Brooklyn, Brownfield. Weld,
Winthrop and Belfast: academies,
Hampdcn, North Yarmouth, South
Berwick and Kicker. A new and
larger edition of the Colby Spelling
book is now in the process of making
and with the introduction OF this
book it is expected to help in the
interest. already shown by the stu
dent OF the various schools

Dates for Colby
Debating Team

The schedule of debates for the
Colby debating team on their trip
through the south and west has been
announced. This schedule is still
open to additional debates and it is
hoped that contests will be secured
In New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and Missouri. The colleges
that Colby will debate are as follows:
Antioch college. yellow Springs,
Ohio: Western Reserve University,
Cleveland. Ohio: Notre Dame, Notre
Dame. Indiana: Hedding College,
Kentucky: William and Mary Col
lege. Williamsburg, Va.
Antioch college has recently come
into prominence due to the fact that
they have devised a new scheme
whereby the board of director is
composed entirely of business men.
The college schedule is arranged SO
that the men work in enifts, half get
practical training in the factories in
the vicinity and the other half go to
class and this is reversed so that all
the students may combine the prac-
teal with the threotical. The debate
with the nearby colleges will serve
as a means whereby suitable men
can be chosen to represent Colby in
fields afar.
Trials will be held in the near flu
ture for the men who wish to try out
for the teams that will debate Clark
University in Waterville and at Wor-
cester. This debate can almost be
said to be an annual event as Colby
and Clark have clashed for the past
two years. Clark won the debate
two years ago although Colby de-
feated Tufts in that triangular de-
bate. Last year in the Colby Clark
dual debate Colby won at Worcester
and lost in aWterville so that the
competition is very keen.
