THE PRIZE DEBA TE Une of the most interesting things that took place during the school year was the Prize Debate. The question which the debat- ers of the First Form selected to settle for all time was: Resolved, That the railway rates should be controlled by Congress. The question, while rather a new one, is the one which the present generation will have to settle. It was rather a difficult one for young minds to discuss, yet the manner in which the debaters handled it deserves much praise. It was more of an oratorical contest than a debate. However, some of the boys brought out strong proof, and it was very hard to find any unfinished lines in their arguments. The entire school gathered in our large assem- bly hall in order to hear it, and by the manner in which each debater was received, it was evident that all were pleased. VVe wish to congratulate the successful contestants, and feel highly honored that they are members of our class. Joseph Kuehnle, the winner of the lirst prize, made an excellent speech. Although it was brief, it was right to the point, and he had an abundance of proof for each argument. The cool manner in which it was delivered proved beyond doubt that he was master of the situation at all times. Olney Payne, the winner of the second prize, also had a very good speech. It showed great preparation and was one of which any boy might well feel proud. As our space is limited, it will be impossi- ble to discuss each speech fully, yet we leel it our duty to say that joe Brown and Robert Coleman deserve special mention. To Sterrett, Peck, Cookman, Campbell, Lea, Keefer and Ralston much credit is due for their good work. VVe hope the boys will be just as suc- cessful wherever duty calls them to speak, and feel sure they will be. The Primer extends its hearty congratulation to the debaters.
