The question, "Re solved, that the County high school proposition should be defeated and In its stead the district high school Idea should be encouraged," was discus' sed. The Debating club took the af firmative, while Chris Scbuebel of Oregon City argued for the negative The affirmative was opened by G. A. Shubel, followed by George Schmidt, on the same side. Chris Schuebel then explained clearly his position, Mrs. Nora Miller, Abel Thomas, Hugo Han son, E. F .Glnther, and G. R. Miller followed the speaker on the negative and in seven minute speeches showed clearly the fallacy of a county high school for Clackamas county. Chris then made his closing reply In a for ty minute talk In his usual earnest manner. The closing argument for the affirmative was made by Robert Glnther, who In a ten-minute reply compared the two high school Ideas, showing the greater benefit to be de rived by the country people having their own union district high schools. The decision of the Judges was unanl mous for the affirmative. Mr. Schue bel explained clearly and forcibly the reasons for a county high school and did very well when we think of the cause he advocates. And then Mr. Scbuebel did not realize what he was up against when he tackled us com mon chaps in an argument. The dis trict high school Idea has been help ed in this community by the discus sion. After the debate, Walter Dim- lck and J. U. Campbell, both Republi can candidates for the legislature, gave each a brief and satisfactory ex planation of their position on the Is sues before the Oregon voters.
