The question de- bated by the Suburban Debating League, of which Lansdowne is a member, was Resolved: That all jobs in the United States be given to citizens of the United Statesf, The Lansdowne teams debated teams from Lower Merion, Bridgeport, Upper Darby, Norristown, and Radnor. This yearls aflirmative team consisted of Albert Tolley, Maryjane Benedict, and Margaret Swigart, assisted by Fred Selby, Helen Cloukey, and Robert Finn. The negative team was composed of Matthew Gordon, Betty Dallam, Robert Finn, and Fred Selby. The excellence of these teams was well illustrated by their accumu- lated scores of 4311 points against their opponents, score of only 4905 points. 0 In the higher mathematics, attention is given to specialization. Constructive reportsnrelated to science and mathematics are present- ed once a week by ,students in the college algebra and trigonometry courses. The slide rule with its relation to engineering and other fields is introduced, and its principles are explained in solid geometry. Higher algebra courses are given a taste of theory in mathematics. All courses try to teach the practicality of that particular study of mathematics. Reports relating to specific industries and inventions may lead to the selection of a vocation in one of these fields. The slide rule study makes mathematics practical. After a student masters the slide rule, there are hundreds of little ways in which he can apply it. Reports, slide rule, and theory all are primarily to develop the mind.
