Stores (Continued from Page One.) French, and Spanish. Next, she stated that it is only through I.atin that one may get an insight into the old Latin Classics and become acquainted with the famous gods an goddesses. She claimed that to read intelligently one had to know I.at in, and to prove this assertion she gave classic references in Milton’s “Allegro.” Latin, she stated, was necessary for the law student in order to know thoroughly the old Roman laws, for the Mathematics student because many of tlie terms used in Mathematics are Latin, and for the Science student because many of the chemical compounds are of Latin derivation. Many peo ple, she claimed, think I.atin a dead language, but how could a language be dead when we speak it daily, see it in magazines and in theatres? In concluding, she stated that if Latin was dropped from the list of re quirement for students, college stan dards would be lowered instead of Miss Edith Kirkland, speaker for tlie negative side, argued that Latin is not used to any great extent in business, and since the modern boy is full of money making schemes and ideas why should he spend his time studying I.atin when he could be .studying a subject that would be more valuable to him. She next brouglit out the fact that in foreign affairs French and Spanish are used, and therefore Latin has no value in tlie business world. She said that Latin often tends to discour age high school students in their attempts to study a new language, and for this reason they usually try to avoid taking a foreign lan guage. She admitted that Latin de velops a quick mind, but she sug gested that the helpful and nec essary subject, mathematics be sub stituted in its place. The fact that Latin is seldom seen in modern books was also emphasized. In concluding she reminded her list eners that there are only a few people who are capable of teaching the language, and that those people who know only a lim ited amount of I.atin seldom find occasion to use The next to speak was Miss Lou ise Watson who spoke for the af firmative in “Resolved, That Stud ent Self Government Should Be Es tablished in Salem Academy.” She said that Student Government should be established in the Acade my for two main reasons. First, Student Self Government would de velop self reliance, self-control, and honor. She argued that high scliool students should be taught the prin ciples of honor before entering col lege, and since it has been proven many times that high school stud ents are capable of making rules, why not introduce Student Self Gov-ernment in the Academy? Scecnd, Self Government is neces- tary to prepare a girl for College. She declared that the Academy is to the College as a seed is to a plant. Tlie Academy plants the seed and the college develops it She also declared, in her conclusion, that if self government were to be estab- isiied, perfect co-operation would he tile glorious result. Miss Athena Campourakis was the ])caker for the negative side. She asserted that Academy students are young and immature tliat they not capable of logical thinking. Next, she said that the students were sent there on the condition tliat they would be under the care ■ and sup ervision of well-trained autliorities. Another interesting point that she brought out was the fact that high school self government is n essary only during class hours, but boarding school it would be necessary for twenty-four hours. Her last point was probably her strongest and most convincing. She stated that attempts had been made establish self government in the Academy, but the students showed very plainly that they neither i ready for it, nor wanted it. After a very brief absence judges returned with the following decisions: Miss Grace Martin, win- “Resolved, That Latin Should Be Kequired for College Entrance’ and Miss Athena Campourakis win ner of “Resolved, That Student Government Should Be Established in Salem Academy.” Wliile the judges were making their decision Miss Lilyan Newell sang two solos. Tlie debaters a e congrat ulated on their poise and the logi cal way in which they discussed the subjects, and have set a higli prece dent for others to follow. The faculty of Princeton Uni versity signed a resolution endorsing the resolutions of the Faculty of Political Science at Columbia Uni versity, in December, calling for a revision of the international debts. —The Davidsonian.
