Ijnion takes high rank. It is safe
to; say that this series of debates
will be the largest in size and most
farreaching in influence of all de
bate series to be held in the various
States of the Union this year.
Inquiries from other States as to
the nature and conduct of the De
bating Union m6 ?regula to
Secretary E. R. Rankin. From the
State Universities of Virginia; Ken
tucky, and California have come in
quiries about North Carolina's sys
tem of debating. The Universi ty
and the high schools have given to
the State a debate system which
servee as a standard wherever it is
