9 Boxing The Fourteenth Annual Inter-House Boxing Competition was held this year during the month of February and concluded with a final programme before a packed house in the School Hall on Friday, March 11th. More boxers entered the competition than in previous years and the closely contested bouts throughout the competition made it an acclaimed success. The officials for the Preliminaries and on the final night were. Referee — Mr. D. J. Williams; Judges — Mr. Harold Evans, Capt. W. Davidson and Mr. S. M. Paschal. The Cox Shield for the Inter-House Compe- tition was again won by Watlington House and Davis 2 was pre- sented by His Excellency the Governor, Sir Ralph Leatham, with the Critchley cup for the best junior boxer. An innovation fol- lowed the school boxing this year when the following Friday an Inter-School Exhibition was held in the same ring. Saltus pro- vided six boxers for the occasion and won four of the events in which they were entered. It is to be hoped that this may develop into another Inter-School competition and the proceeds of the evening were presented to the Bermuda School Sports Association for that purpose. This competition was conducted by Mr. C. Wool- lard of Whitney Institute, Mr. F. B. Rogers of Warwick Academy, Mr. Gascoigne of Saltus Grammar School, Mr. D. Measures of Dell- wood School and Mr. D. }. Williams from the Department of Edu- cation. RESULTS OF INTER-HOUSE BOXING FINALS Microbe Weight-W. R. Davis (S) defeated B. W. Mason (W). Flyweight— J.

10 The Debating Society Get up! Speak up! Shut up! This is a watchword to be commended to all aspirants to suc- cess in public speaking, and wc believe that the robust give-and-take of the school debating society offers an excellent training-ground for acquiring the necessary confidence and facility. Several lively debates have been held held during the past sea- son, culminating in a visi tors ' debate in which two old boys, both of them onetime officers of the society, teamed up with boys of the school to debate the motion — This House believes that the value of education is under-rated. This provocative subject is one of universal interest, and we give a summary of the main arguments adduced. The Proposer, Mr. L. Vorley (O.S.), said that the motion was capable of several interpretations, but probably the opposition would seek to prove that education was over-rated. On this assump- tion, who could be deemed to over-rate education? Possibly the professional societies; they certainly valued it, for they invariably required the attainment of a certain level of education as a passport to the professions. It might be argued that they placed too much emphasis on it; but surely the importance they attached to it must be due to their recognition of the fact that an educated person was better equipped than the uneducated to deal with the problems arising in any of the professions. Entrants to the professions must then have received a good secondary education, as must an applicant for admission to a uni- versity; and nowadays the same was largely true of business, for the problems of the present day were more complex than those of for- mer times, and called for people of broad vision and education. One might get knowledge by practical experience, but still better was the combination of education and practical experience. Then the opposition might point to instances of the self-made man , but they were exceptional, and even these must have acquired education somehow, the only distinction being that they had acquired it more largely through their own personal initiative. Turning from the material to the cultural sphere, the proposer claimed that a good education gave one a greater power of aesthetic appreciation and of intelligent discussion, and in fact enabled one to live a fuller life in the intellectual sense. While conceding the value of a technical education the oppo- sition might seek to disparage the value of an education in the lib- eral arts. What was the use of it? Its value, he believed, lay in the training it gave to the mind: it taught the student how to think, how to use his mind to the best advantage.
