To hold up a certain clearly de . fined standard of attainment for others to reach in any line of eudeav or, without providing1 a means by which it may be attained is useless, because it serves no end. To s uo the standard, to provide the means which shall test the skill of the candidates for approval, then to delegate the right to apply the test, and to olace the stamp of ... approval or. disapproval upon the contestants to others whose stan dard is different from the one held up may not be useless; it is unjust This, as we see it, is a patent inconsistency in our debating sys tern. The standard of debate and even of oratory which this Univer sity has erected is, in the opinion of hose who have studied it, unequal- ed by that of any other institution of learnine. Yale and Harvard train their men to speak extempo . raneously, to compile arguments on one's own side and anticipate those of one's opponents. But their speeches (so far as one may judge from reading them) have none of the warmth and inspiriting flavor ot Southern oratory, born with every Southerner, craved alike by Southern and Northern ears Their debating logic is more of a study in the effective massing of sta tic facts and "points" than in the presentation. of a natural develop ment of a process of thought leading irresistibly to a given conclusion. Other institutions specialize in word painting, some in oratory, while still others boast that their speeches are delivered "in an un impassioued tone of voice." None of these is perfect of course. Ours, while we believe it the most nearly perfect, is not perfect. It cannot be, so long as it permits the delivery of memorized speeches and often of memorized rejoinders. But, even though it be wholly wrong, whether it is perfect or not is irrelevant to our point, which is this: "the rules of tliegame" what ever they are, should not be changed after it begins. The standard should be the same throughout. It is impossible in all. cases to conform to this. When we meet a sister institution on the platform of debate we must submit that an outsider play the role of critic and render judgment. But in absolutely HQ other case is such procedure Hatch Dean necessary. It mav be said that the outsider's view point is best; and that by objecting to it we betray lack of confidence in ourselves. Our reply is that if this be true "Long Bill" should grade the papers in Greek, or be asked to award the Worth prize. The illustration is extreme, but the principle is the same when, for instance, the faculty having raised its standard and preliaps coached the contestants, stands aloof while the Mangum Medal or some other contest is decided by those whose only claim to consideration is that i. .i i j i i way uacii, some time in me ioug t a tj A ago the dean of the academic de- largest ilaDeraaStterS partment handed them a sheepskin and a Hihlp whirl, thw Vhio-o-pH Tn See Their Line at their bosoms as thev went their way. We believe not onlv that all con- tests in debate and in oratory between University students should be decided by a committee of the faculty of the University hut that committee carefully selected, should be a standing one. Today the half cynical watchword among debaters is: "Get your committee and your debate's half won." To this end all their powers of shrewd diplo macyall their knowledge of human nature, is brought to bear. lhis man believes in our side. We want "A Most Interesting Sheet" him. That one is a good man but Winston-Salem Daily Journal, 23rd. the other fellow has two courses under him" and a blue pencil mark ruthlessly settles his fate. This is a glimpse behind the scenes, but the picture is a true one. Surely such a process of select ing as this cannot prove beneficial to the cause. In theory it is il logical, in practice, it must fall short of the mark. Agts. C. W. Kooiage, Jr. 8t Go. in America. CENTRAL HOTEL TODAY.
