FREDERICK DOUGLASS DEBATING SOCIETY In its second year of development, the Frederick Douglass Debating Society has made commendable progress in the art of organized thinking and argumentation. Extensive reading, round 'table discussions, and actual intra-squad debates on current questions of importance have greatly aided in bringing about a much clearer understanding. We competed in the first annual interscholastic state-wide debat- ing contest sponsored by the Missouri State High School Debating League, of which We are a charter member, in May of this year.
