COLLEGE DEBATING CUP

Six high schools and four preparatory schools will compete for the prize offered by Dartmouth College for the championship in the New Hampshire Debating League. The proposition for the debates this year is, "Resolved: That industrial arts should be taught in the common schools of this state."

The teams have been paired off for the preliminary contests, which will occur before February 1, as follows:

Laconia High vs. Nashua High.

Sanborn Seminary vs. Goffstown High.

Tilton Seminary vs. Concord High. Lebanon vs. Penacook.

Kimball Union vs. Colby.

Winners in these debates will compete in successive trials until the two best teams have been selected to take part in the final contest for the trophy.

The New Hampshire Debating League was organized last winter, when the Trustees of Dartmouth College authorized the department of public speaking to offer a prize in the form of a cup, to be awarded to the New Hampshire secondary school which won the state debating championship in a contest instituted by the department.
