By Roslyn Green He didn't like authority; O'kelly

 play single game; They did their best to make him,
 but it wasn't any use, He resisted all coercion and was
 deaf to all abuse. Their efforts to instruct him he per

 wrote upon the board; He wouldn't translate Caesar or at-
 tempt a simple sum, And when they asked him questions
 he prctended hs was dumb. He wouldn't rise for early school, he
 wouldn't go to bed. He wouldn't answer Present" when
 the roll-call was read; He wouldn't do examples, and he

BRITISH DEBATERS
BEAT c. v. i. TEAM
Girl Champions, First to In.
wade Country, Win on Sub
ieCt of Psychology.

| Relying more On wit than logic, the
champion girls debating team from
England, the first of its kind to invade
this country, was acclaimed winner of a
dual debate with the George Washing
ton University team last night after the
well prepared arguments of the local
girls had been riddled by shafts from the
deXterous tongues of the British girls.
The visitors took the affirmative side
Of the question, Resolved, that the
popular reading of psychology is un-
dermining morality"
Declared Veil for Mems Sins.
Miss Marjorie M. Sharp of Bedford,
London, was easily the most popular
speaker of both sides. She began her
address with the confession that she
was slightly handicapped" because she
had neither read nor studied psychology.
"One of the most disastrous conSe-
quences of the popular reading Of psy-
chology," she said "is that it furnishes
men with multitude of excuses to cover
their sins, which they have sought ever
since the affair in the Garden of Eden.
In the old DAYS a man who had killed
another was called a murderer. Now,
thanks to psychology. he is called an
interesting psychological study"
Most of the burden for the negative
was carried by Miss Ruth Herman, 1401
Oak street, who quoted numerous au-
thorities to show that morality is not
being undermined by popular psychol-
ogy. Her attempt to make distinc-
ton between the Idea of morality and
actual morality left the large audience
somewhat divided as to whether she
was discussing a religious theme or deal.
ing with the intricacies of philosophy.
Slang Terms Perplexing.
Frequently the visitors exchanged puz
zled glances as one or another of the
local girls employed strictly American
slang term to convey her meaning. Or
one occasion, DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin
presiding, stopped the debate to define {
term used by the George Washington
girls which was obviously not familiar tC

Miss Nancy Samuel of oxford opened
the debate for the affirmative. She con

A fight in house in the 1900 block
Of Ninth street resulted in the injury
of Phillip Packet, colored, Al years

control, while in the days before psychol-
ogy was generally read man was held
to be free agent and solely responsible
for his actions.
Miss Leonora w. Lockhart of Girton,
Cambridge, opened her argument with
the statement that there is more i'm
morality in America than any place else
in the world because more people who
cannot fully understand psychology are
reading 1t here than elsewhere. such
things as your thrill murderers and stu
dent suicides are almost unheard Of in
Europe" she said
Psychology, she said is breaking down
moral standards and removing the idea
of a God. "but neither of these is as i'm
portant socially as is the fact that it
also gives the average reader a sense of
futility which leads to utter despond-
ency"
Arguments for Psychology.
Miss Helen T. Prentiss of 3447 Hol-
mead place defended psychology, claim
ing it has resulted in better laws such
as pension acts and child labor regula-
tions and that while there is little of
it that is bad the vast majority is highly
beneficial to humanity.
The last speaker for the negative was
Miss Marjorie Mothershead, 1864 Oak
street. 1.-THE whole tendency of our
lives is toward progress" she said, land
this in q large measure results from the
popular reading of psychology in news
papers and magazines"
Nearly 500 persons attended the de-
bate, which was held in Corcoran Hall.
