Debating Ground

The newspaper has long since ceased to be
one or two page pamphlet consisting of items on
Mrs. AS most recent illness the return of Mr..
and his family. 1t not only informs us Of events
Of national and international importance, but
assists us in forming our own opinions.
1t is quite natural that biased ideas are many
times expressed in articles published in q paper,
but in it more frequently 1De find articles from
tOhich zoe may profit BY arguments aroused by
such statements.
Perhaps the question Of whether or not the
newspaper is to be replaced by the radio has
come to your mind. It may be that you have
become quite Saddened at the idea Of a period
approaching when you will cease to received your
morning or evening paper.
1t would be wise to refrain from such Specula-
tiOn. Time is so limited on brOadcasting stations
that long interval will elapSe before the public
is satisfied with brief news flashes brought to US
by radio.
1t has been the progress of the newspaper that
has enlightened the tDorld on ntdHy subjects and

Trujillo recently suggested that
the name of Trujillo City's most
beautiful boulevard, until today
called Avenida Presidente Trujillo,
be changed to Avenida George

proved an ordinance to that ef-
feet and named February %, 1886,

Dizzy Davis (JameS

finds himself held to
the rules Of modern avia-

creates the character Of

satisfied.

At a recent session Of

The numerous citi-
zens, organizations, and
individuals, who have
petitioned Congress for
a grant of half a million
dollars toward the i'm
provement of health
conditions here, are
fighting for a notable
and worthy cause. An
appalling rate Of sick
ness has been disclosed.
a condition aggravated
by the small amount Of
m e dical resources,
which. though excellent.
are entirely out Of pro

needs.
Every citizen Of the
nations CapAal should
be personally interested
in the movement which
has as it's motive his own

The high-school stu

be actively interested in
the present lack of

Those who have an

be said of the preSenta-

Lord Melbourne, Disrae-

Books like these make
