Permit me to further apeak or a few statements In Kriuay morning Knterprlse (hut were evidently in tended to put me In the distinguished company of UooicveU and his cele hinted club. (t) The sarcastic comment that Tooe had more Important business on hind than to attend the election In Portland falla flat. No buslnosa trana acted at the State Teachers' meetliiR was. In my Judgment, more Important than to Inaugurate a system of debat ing in our schools. I expressed my regret lit not being piesent to the enmity superintendent of schools and others. During that time I gave an address on arithmetic aa a part of the general program of the moedng. (21 II la intimated in paragraph two thnt it was only then the Importunity of our friend that the O. C. II. S. was Induced to enter the debates. Aa a matter of fact, I did nit understand from the communication rocolved con cerning the matter that definite ar rangements had been made for our school, until at the Cnnb meeting. I thought reference had been made only lo our grades. C.lndly I took up the matter at once. It is true as was claimed, hovver, that I would not (hen or now force a contest of this kind upon any student or students. Such work mus( be voluntary for heat results. I personally urged tht atu dents to try for the team plans and to do their part In all other educa tional functions of the county. The team wis selected less than two weeks before the dale of (he general con test. Only three daya before (he team was to po to Es(acada, one member of It withdrew on accoun( of her mother's Illness, and (he alternate I. It school for the remainder of the v i el;, flclc. I phoned these fuels to Hie president at Estacada at once and ho without hesitation, hlmseir, set the lime for tho next Friday evening, March 17. I offered lo pay for any advertising and other necessary ex penses Incident to the postponement of one week. "Mr. Tooze" whose Ignorance Is skillfully portrayed aa asking for a week extra did not plead for extra time. He simply phoned the conditions of the (earn. He could have either responded wl(h the team crippled as It waa or he could have forfeited the game. 'The president who claims power to declare titles even over the heads of the executive committee could have demanded then a default In favor of hia own team. Did he do it ?
