JEFFERSONIAN ,DEBATING SOCIETY. Ever since the organizationiof the jeffersonian Debating Society, in Igor, it has been a source of great benefit and inspiration to the young men of the State Normal School. The questions that natu- rally arise in our minds when We hear of an insti- tution of any kind are, What is it doing? What does it stand for? In the first place, this Society teaches young men hovv to excress their opinions and views in a clear, definite, emphatic, and im- pressive man-ner. It teaches its members how to conduct themselves -with grace and ease when they have an opportunity of appearing inthe capacity of speakers. This, in itself, is a splendid accomplish- ment, for, as it has been truthfully said, The World hates avvkvvardnessf' Qur Society gives splendid intellectual training, for, vvhen the boys are put on the program to take part in a debate, they realize that if they do not think and delve into facts to pro- duce a good argument, the other side will Win. This friendly contest sharpens and quickens the intellect wonderfully. Many of the subjects that We have for debates cause those Who participate in the de- bating to do some extensive reading, and thus, beingtbrought into contact with good literature, they bring valuable information into the Society. As a general rule, excellent order is kept in the Society, and all violations of parliamentary law are noted and corrected. In this vvay the Society fur- nishes excellent training and drill in the observa- tion of parliamentary law, system, and order. T This scholastic year We have given a series of public debates. Une that was given chiefly for the fun and humor connected with it was, Resolved, That Old Bachelors Should Be Taxed for the Sup- port of Qld Maids. Needless to say, the ladies.pres- ent agreed heartily with the affirmative side of this question. aifafagih ig? fx .
