Vnil If 111 LiCLUlIC Uil 11IC 1UUU1 of Representative Men" literature in the United States will lecture here then. Follow ing a time of service at Williams College, Mr. Perry was Professor of English literature in Prince ton University from 1S)3 to IW0. During the decade from he enjoyed the rare distinction of being editor of the Atlantic Monthly, probably the greatest American magazine. Since 1900 he has held the chair of English j literature in Harvard University, and is known from one end o! the country to the other as a charming and facinating lecturer on Hterary subjects. In deed, there are a few parts of the United States in which he has not lectured before the leading and representative educational institutions. ' This series of lectures makes an especial appeal to young men and is particularly designed to touch the college student. Fol lowing in the footsteps of Emer son who wrote the famous essay on "Representative Men", Pro fessor Perry appeals to the youth of today in these lectures ou "The Youth of Representative Men", selecting Goethe, Emerson and Napoleon as his men. No student, professor, or member of the community can afford to miss this opportunity to hear a lec turer of the very highest quality in personal attractiveness a"nd rare literary charm.

GRAHAM WINS FROM WILSON IN THE ! STATE-WIDE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE Friendship Wins Track Meet, Wilmington the Tennis Doubles. Over 500 Visitors Here. . Surpassing commencement in the number of visitors and par ticipants, arid outstripping Junior Week in the universality of in terest and diversity of amuse ments, "High School Week" held here Thursday and .Friday has come to be one of the most impor tant periods on the University's calendar. Sixty - eight schools sent 272 debaters to take part in the fourth annual debating con test, and it is estimated that they attracted to the Hill a total of 400 visitors.- The fourth annual track and the first tennis tourna ment, participated in by () and S schools respectively, attracted about 150 visitors. The growth of the inter-scholastic debating contests for the Ayoock cup has been phenomenal, there being ')() schools in the first contest, 150 in the second, 250 in the third, and 325 in the fourth. Four hun dred schools are expected to take part next year. The debate was won by Gra ham High School, the track meet by Friendship for the third suc cessive time, and the doubles of the tennis tournament hy, Wil mington. In the crowning occasion of all the events of the three days, the debate finals, Graham High School won from Wilson High School. Graham had the affirm ative side of the query: Resolved, that the United States should adopt the policy of greatly en larging its navy and, represented by Miss Myrtle Cooper and Boyd Harden, defended its side most ably. Dviad Isear and Wade Gardner upheld the negative side of question for Wilson. Memorial Hall was, for once, really packed. And when the crowd left they were satisfied, for they felt that they had heard a debate in which both sides had been clearly and strongly defend ed, a debate worthy of the pick of North Carolina's high school debaters. Everyone felt that President Graham's words ex pressed the sentiment of the audience when he said to the two teams in his introductory re marks: "I congratulate you both if you win without pride Or lose without excuses." Miss Myrtle Cooper, the first speaker on the affirmative, elicited the most enthusiastic and pro longed applause of the evening. Both her debate and rejoinder were unusually clear, strong and incisive; her delivery was confi dent, pres.uas.ive and also exceed ingly clear. She proved, to the satisfaction of the audience, at least, these three points: that the United States must enlarge its navy iC she wishes to keep in front rank of the world powers,. th,atwe can't tel,l what part we m,ay have to, take soon in, regard, to the great war and shou.Ul.be prepared for tle worst; audi, UiirA that i unless our navy is greatly en larged we may have to give up I tenets of the Monroe Doctrine and allow some other nation to become the dominant power in the western hemisphere. "Our strength", said Miss Cooper, "is as yet potential, our weakness real. The solution of the prole lem is what the majority of the American people believe in a greatly enlarged navy." Our, history shows us that a navy is not an idle burden, but anecssity; for every five years of. peace wj ha ve had over one year of w at-. But our navy must be taken out of politics before we can '-'realize our national ideal. She. then cited Belgium's uiipreparednes:- and its result; "the pacificist", she insisted, "are the enimies of their country". She concluded her debate with a quotation from one of President Wilson's speech es: "You ask rne to maintain tin national honor and preserve peace ? the time may come when I shali be unable to do both." "Let Uf not", Miss Cooper urged, "pur chase peace at the price honoi and duty." - Boyd Harden, Miss Cooper's colleague, dealt almost exclusive ly with the expediency of navy enlargement. "A greatly en larged navy", he said, "will not only prevent invasion of out coasts and foreign possions, but will also obviate the necessity of a large standing army." - Wade Gardner and David Isear, representing Wilson, defended the negative with speeches wel; written and ftill of good points Gardner devoted his debate U proving these two points: we al ready have a navy surpassed on ly by England's and we have no reason to fear any other na tion. David Isear, his colleague, dwelt on two supplementary propositions, namely: the pro posed policy would destroy our world leadership for righteous ness and bring war on us; and we may use other methods to pre serve peace with honor. Friendship Wins Meet Friendship won the interschol astic track meet for the third sue cessive year. Graham came in for second place and Hillsboro for third. The relay race was won by Greensboro with Friend ship second. Ray, of Graham, broke the rec ords in both shot and hammer which he himself established last year. Cannon of High Point likewise broke his last year's rec ord in the quarter by over two seconds. O-ii account of limited space only the nanaics.oli those who fin ished. fi.ifs.li can he given. Friend xbip, wow a great many second and third places. Summary: 100 yards Perry, Grahaafc. Continued oa. toiatb ?gtr fi
