will be introduced by the instructor,
P. r. Ahern, for possible use in flu
ture meetings. This splendid method
of discussion" says Mr.. Ahern, breaks
the ice of reserve between the in
structor and group members. 1t in
corporates the best features of gen.
eral debate, besides involving con-
siderable public speaking and some
research work on the part of those
who have the time and inclination
for it. 1t also should give members
of the group considerable knowledge
of parliamentary law and a general
knowledge of how to participate in
all public meetings with confidence"
The subject proposed for next
Thursday evening at which the
panel" method of discussion will be
used will be:
Just what is the significance of
the election Q) Nationally, (2) in
Minnesota, (3) in Pine county, and

elected, according to their campaign
promises"
