DEBATNG Debating is of more actual value to the school and to the student himself than any other activity existing. The busi- ness man of today must he able to express himself. It is an absolute necessity that we be ahle to answer questions on the Floor, and answer them in a creditable manner. If we are to retain our rights then we must be able to convince others that we are right. If we would sell our products we must make people believe in them, and we must point out their good points, and last but far from least, if we would take part in our government then we must be able to assimilate the argu- ments; of others, make arguments of our own. and pteseht to the people our cone victions in a convincing mannert Pub lie Speaking is helping the common man to make a comfortable living. It is help- ing him to live down the tyranny of wouId-be tyrantst in other words. this art is the moat essential part of our educa- tion, for scientific public speaking and debating is a necessity to a thorough and modem education.

Are they writ- ten just to give the public something to read and quickly forget? No. There is a greater reae-on for our having so many booksea reason which shouhi make us ail eager to read them. HtiIliam Channing. the great American author and educator, once stated. God be thanked for books. They are the voice of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of the past ages. Books are the true levellere. They give to all who faithfully use them. the society. the spiritual presence of the best and greatest at our race. There are, perhaps. three means by which one may gain education: Flrst. by being tutored; second. by reading instruc- tive hooks: third. by travelling. We must readily admit that the education one receives through our American Schools and colleges is the very best ob- tainable, hut we must also realize that the next best knowledge is that which one receives by reacting good bookst W'hen Abraham Lincoln was of schoel age. it was difticult for most persons to attend school. Unable to enjoy that priv- ilege himself. Lincoln, through his zeal- ous and persevering study of the various cultured books 01' the day. qualified him- self to later become President of the United States. Closely related to our various cuitured books, are the present day, hrsteclass busi- ness. magazines, whose importance is be- ing realized more and more every day. Through these magazines one may keep in touch with prohlems concerning the business and welfare of the country. Of special interest should these current mag- azines be to the student pursuing a busi- ness course, for business today requires men who are not only well educated. but men who also possess a broad knowl- CContinued on page 3m
