Colby Debaters
Face Busy Season
With n. E. Colleges

1t required but q very few hours
for those in charge of the work of in
tercollegiate debating at Colby to de-
eide upon the seasons schedule and
to announce the list of undergradu-
ates who will take part in this i'm
portant activity of the college. 1t
now looks as though all previous re-
cordss of the college will be broken
in the number of men who will take
part in intercollegiate debating and
in the number of colleges to be de-
bated. Five colleges are already on
the schedule and three or four other
colleges will presently be added.
Negotiations for debates are now
going on with Bowdoin college, Bos-
ton University. Boston college. De-
bates have already been scheduled
with Massachusetts Agricultural col
slege, University of Vermont, Uni
versity of Maine, University of New
Hampshire and Middlebury college,
This list does not include colleges
that may debated if a debating team
is sent to the national convention of
ri Kappa Delta, the national forensic
debating society of which Colby is
the only representative east of Ohio.
The convention is this year to be held
in Greeley, Colo, March 20 to April
l.
A total of 21 students have been
selected to take part in the debates
already decided upon.
In speaking of the large squad of
intercollegiate debaters, Prof. Her.
bert c. Libby. head of the department
of public speaking. said:
Il have always held that the great
benefit to be derived from intercol-
legiate debating is not in training
one or two debating teams and hay
ing these teams carry the burden of
the work and achieve great glory
from successive victories, but in the
training that may be derived by
many men participating. A few
years ago, fifteen men took part in
at least one intercollegiate debate.
That was considered a large number.
This year 81 men have been selected,
and it Is possible that the total num-
Der may reach rs. These 81 men are
already at work upon the questions
to be debated and they will, I feel
very sure, give a good accounting of
themselves"
Three propositions will be debated,
as follows: That the coal mines of
the United States should be owned
and operated by the federal govern
ment; that congress should pass uni
form marriage and divorce laws; and
that the eighteenth amendment
should be repealed.

DIR. Reynolds Main
Speaker at Noon
Meeting of ROtarians

At the regular dinner and bust
ness meeting of the Rotary Club.
which was held Monday noon at
the Elmwood Hotel. the speaker was
DR.. Ralph L. Reynolds. member
of the club.
In his speech DR.. Reynolds spoke
at length on obstetrics. Gynecology
and Abdominal Surgery" He is a
specialist in this phase of the med
ical profession and his talk was
heard with a great deal of interest
by those present. as there are few
better authorities on the subject in
the state. His explanation that only
recently the public had taken the
proper interest in this subject was
along the same line as statements
by other members of the medical
profession made public recently.
General education of the people
along medical lines has been en-
phaslzed on many occasions. DR..
Reynolds stated that over 10000
women die each year in childbirth
and this fact alone would indicate
the necessity of further education
along this line.
In the talk, DR.. REYNOLDS told of
the nation wide campaign by the
American Association of Obstetri-
clans, Gynecologists and Abdominsl
Surgeons in their attempt to educate
the public in these subjects. Propa-
ganda has been circulated by this
association to encourage better care
especially during the prenatal peri
cd. This organization has been very
effective and has done some very
fine work. The medical profession.
stated DR.. Reynolds, is responsible
for the large number Of deaths from
this cause and they alone are re-
sponsible for the education of the
people.
The work of the federal and local
governments was commended by the
speaker and the evidence of public
interest was shown, he, said by the
establishment of such ORGANIZATIONS
as milk stations and maternity CEN
ters.
