Intercollegiate debating is growing steadily in the colleges of the United States, there being but one college of prominence in the country that does not carry on some form of forensic contest. There are 500 institutions with four debates each year, and this means approximately 1,000 debating teams of three men each. Not fewer than 25,000 college students represent their colleges every year in debate.
One in 1,000 of these debaters is a young woman. The universities of Oregon and Washington hold an annual debate in which only women take part. At the University of Oregon, they host every competition, and in a year not long ago the aspirants for debating honors reached 153. -McGill Daily.
PEACE CONTEST OPENS
National Competition in Oratory Will Attract Many Speakers
A contest will be held shortly after the Christmas holidays for those who wish to represent the University in the State Peace Oratorical Contest.
The department of public speaking desires to arouse interest in this form of public address, as the Peace Contest is a national feature. Twelve leading schools and colleges of Kansas compete for the honor of representing the state in the Interstate Peace Competition. Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky, Arkansas and enter also. The winner of this contest then competes with the victors of six other interstate contests which together cover the entire country.
Prizes are offered at every step of the way, but the chief incentive among most universities and universities is the school. Each individual and the school he represents. He competes against men from the Universities of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Chicago, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, Princeton, Princeton, Yale and Harvard.
Professor Hill said this morning: "We wish to interest the students of the University in this line of public speaking work for their own benefit, and we would like them to help they can bring the University by participating with the representatives of the other leading universities and coleges of the country. I hope that the members of the debating societies on the Hill will respond to our effort and to provide advice to speakers as they have in other schools. The speeches for this contest should be not more than sixteen minutes long and should deal with some phase of the peace problem. I urge anyone who feels inclined to enter this contest to join us. We will accept or myself, as we will be glad to do anything in our power to aid them."

TALKS TO BIG SISTERS
Mrs. Katherine Eddy of Kansas City Defines Their Responsibilities
Mrs. Katherine Willard Eddy of Kansas City, Kansas, spoke to the Big Sisters at Myers Hall Monday afternoon of their many opportunities.
Mrs. Eddy defined the responsibility of a Big Sister, illustrating her definition by citing the care of a child who is lost and then the freedom from responsibility when they come to the University. Being a Big Sister gives them the same opportunity again. "It is the Big Sister we need," she said, "its since there is a chance for character development," said Mrs. Eddy. Mrs. Eddy then touched on the fourfold requirements of being a Big Sister, intellectual, mental, social and the spiritual.
Continuing she said that health was one of the strongest requirements, since very little can be done without good health. The Big Sister must take care of her own well-being and a worthy example to her Little Sister. Her spiritual life must be strongly emphasized. The need of moderate dress was emphasized. She pointed out how ridiculous and at the same time unhealthy it is for a girl to wear herself in turtles when at the same time wears thin stockings and nume.
Mrs. Eddy has for the last few years been intimately connected with the work of the different women's organizations and last summer had charge of the Junior Girls' Convention at Lake Geneva.
HELP THE RED CROSS
Christmas Stamps Are on Sale at the University Post-
office
Red Cross Christmas Stamps are on sale at the post-office. These stamps are issued to enable everyone in a small way to show the Christmas spirit by giving a small amount to charity.
The history of this movement dates from 1906 and was originated by a society in Chicago to check the rapid growth of tuberculosis. Money for this movement was needed and the plan of issuing stamps was hit with ten thousand stamps which sell for one cent are known as "money cards" as a means by which every one can give their mite to help someone enjoy the "Yuletide".
"One cent means nothing to you, but if every one in the United States gave that amount $000,000 would go to help the cause. When you go to the office, they give you upright cash, buy one of those stamps, stick it on your letter and go home with the feeling that you have done something even in a small way to forward the Christmas spirit and to help humble others during the morning, after which he went over to the office in Fraser and bought ten of the stamps.
