s* THE DAILY ECHO. VOL. 4-No. oi. Shortridge High School, Indianapolis. Wednesday, February 12, 190a. Two Cents DEBflTIUG CLUB SMALL ATTENDANCE BUT GOOD DEBATE. Question, Resolved: That the Bus!- ness Man Should Have a Qood College Education. There was rather a slim attendance at the Debating Club, Monday afternoon, hut those who did attend were interested in the subject, and a good uiejting was tlie result, Mr. Scott, the critic, saying at the close that he would not have been ashamed to have hud the debate given before the scliool. The question discussed at this meeting was, Resolved: That a business man should have a college education. The affirmative was taken by Frank- wood . Williams and .Raymond Spru- ance, the negative by Alfred Darlow and Ei I in 11 nd Bit el. Mr. Williams opened the debate for the affirmative, dealing in his remarks with three points. First, that the person called the business man was primarily a man, and, therefore, his lirst business was lo learn to live and to make of himself tlie best and noblest man possible. Second, that even from tlie low view point of pecuniary success, the business man should have a college education; and third, thatsince it was not possible fora man to remain forever in business, a college education was necessary to help liiin best spend his retirement. In support of his points, Mr. Williams claimed that only by attending college could he come to appreciate the past ages, and gather the experiences from history which would give him a mind broad enough to best serve himself, li is .slate, his country and the world, which was, above all other tiling's, his liest duly To support the statement that, for business reasons alone a college education was desirable, he quoted several persons, among whom was Clem Studebaker, Indiana's great business man. To show that a retired business man needed an education, the speaker claimed that if he bad such an education tlie retired business mail's life would he richer and fuller, ami he would have less need nf unworthy amusements. Alfred Darlow spoke lirst for the negative, lie cited some tilings that prominent* business meu had said about the value of a collegiate training. He asserted Unit the work in college i.s too hard on the health, and 'in itcl from Mr. MeAnaly, that an average of about sixty pages a day has to be studied. He also stated that tlie moral nature of the boy Is often injured as well as the mental and physical. The cost of a college course was also mentioned as an objection. The second speaker on the negative, Edmund Eitel, made a comparison between the boy who stayed at home and entered business and theone who took a course at college. He said that the four years that, the two boys spent— one studying and the other working- were the most important in their lives; since young men were then the most impressionable and ambition and endurance were highest Consequently these years were the best adapted for beginning business life. His main argument was that the training would not help tiini to earn his living and that the time spent on it was absolutely wasted. lie cited a statement in Lippincott's Magazine that business men preferred boys who had «rown up in the business rather than college-bred boys. He also said that the college boy returned with such an opinion of himself that lie often made a failure in life for this reason. The fact that the most successful men in tlie business world—Rockefeller, Carnegie, .Schwab mid Russell Sage—have never been at college, was also made an argument against a college education. Mr. Spruance, in speaking for the affirmative, contradicted this last point, saying that the standard of the times was constantly changing and where, twenty years ago, a man without a college education could succeed, the same man today would fall much 'ower in the scale of success and by tomorrow fail utterly. Ile declared that the greater number of our great men have been college-bred men. Mr. Spruance also laid stress upon tlie fact that tlie number of college graduates was increasing each year out of all proportion to tlie Increase in population, showing that the popular feeling was In favor of the college training. The benelit that a young man received from his contact with the other college men and with his teachers, and the incentive it gave to his ambition was also dwelt upon. After the appointed debaters had tinished, the question was discussed in open session, those present seeming to favor tlie college education for all business men. The question for the next debate will be, Resolved: That Indianapolis should own and control its street railway system. Speakers will be appointed later. Anna Pugh has returned to Shortridge. She has discovered that "home folks are best." Miss O'Hair reports tlie following good grades from Room F, p. m.: Jessie Thomas, A-f, A+, A-f, A-f; Lillian Mueller, A-f, A, A, A; Avlce Miller, A-f, A, A, A;Kathryn Harper, A-f, A-f, II; Madie Mock, A-f, A, 13; Helen .lacoby, A-f, A, IS: Elsie Reynolds, A-f, A, li; Irene Scholield, A, A.
