No. 69 UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, SATURDAY, JAN. 11, 1913 Price 5 Cents DEBATING LEAGUE GROWS ADDITION OF TWENTY SCHOOLS MAKES DECIDED GAIN FOR NEBRASKA LEAGUE. DEBATES HELD IN FEBRUARY High School Debaters Wrestle With Question of Commission Form of Government Finals Held on University Fete Day. The Nebraska High School Debating League, which in l'.lll-HJ was the laigest organization of its kind in the United States, has this year proved itself to be even mroe worthy of being so designated by the adinis sion of several new schools. Formerly seventy high schools belonged to the league and recently twenty new schools were admitted, which is a decided gain for the oiganlzation. The increased number of institutions has not necessitated many changes and redisricting has not been found nee essary. The league was organized by Pro lessor M. M Fogg in l'K)8, and then had a niembeiship of thirty schools The plan of unifying the system of high school debating has proved to be so successful that each year has seen the entrance of new schools into the association. They are divided in to twelve districts, each presided over by district directors, and these divi sions form the league, which is under the supervision of Professor Fogg. The series of district debates for the sixth annual contests will be hold some time during the month of February. The winning contestants of the districts will appear in the state championship debate, which will bo held at the University on high school fete day, during May The question selected for the forensics of this year is: Resolved, That American Cities Should Adopt a Commission Form of Government Professor Fogg has supervised the preparation of abstracts of thirty-five articles on the question. There aru ready for distribution by the Debating, and Public Discussion Department of the University Extension Department, three sets being furnished for $2.75. Those interested in the subject will find these very valuable material for the thorough study of it. The twenty new schools which were admitted to the league this year are as follows: Ainsworth, Supt. A. C. Whitford; Hartley, Supt. J. F. Duncan; Bellevuo Academy and High School, Principal Albert Snare, Blue Springs, Supt. C. Lester Littel; Bloomington, Supt. Joy E. Morgan, Central City, Supt. A. Crago; David City, Supt.

COUNT APPRECIATES NEBRASKA Count Luetzow Speaks Well of Uni versity in Recent Book of Travels. MOST SPACE TO NEBRASKA Count Luetzow, the Bohemian noble man who was a guest ot the Chancel lor and the University lastpring, has written an account of his visit to the United States and the impressions re ceived on his travels. The pamphlet, which Is written in Herman, is called "Americanische Ein, drucke" and gives an account of the places and people he visited while in this coun try. Most of the schools and colleges aro disposed of with a brief para- gruph, while his appreciation of tho Nebraska University is shown by the comparatively largo amount of space that ho gives to his impressions of this school.

Though one of tho smaller pic tures, it is ono of tho most carefully prepared. It was painted by C. C. Curran of Now York.
