the champion debating team of
the; United States, which has es
tablished a! record of 1 8 consecu
tive victories. -.
If you will examine this record.
yom will observe that the young
Salem debaters have been meet
ing aU ! comers and , toppling
them over; team Ty team, t The
Yale freshmen are on the list, you
will see, and likewise the fresh
men of Hanover. ( , ;!
'Tbese youthful Salem- orators
have gone as far away from home
as Binghamton, New. . York, and
Leonard Hall, Maryland, and al
ways the result has been the same
: victory for Salem.
Now, the 1460 students of Sa
lem high are quite like normal
young Americans in otner nign
schools. They "want their school
to be well represented on . every
field of interscholastic 'competi
tion, but they have a particular
fondness for football and . base
ball. They were not particularly ' in
terested tn the Debating Society,
in its beginning as a school, at
all events but as this phenomen
al record began to make itself
manifest' Salem high began to take
notice, became more -interested as
one success followed .another, and
eventually displayed as much in
terest as is shown in real cham
pions in any form of endeavor.
, And. now comes a curious coin
cidence involving that other Sa
lem, 3000 miles away:
Out on the Pacific coast,, in the
meantime, another high school de
bating team had been making rec
ords, the team which represents
Salem. Oregon. l
.The achievement of that other
Salem, indeed, is almost a dupli
cate of the Massachusetts story.
Three times in the past ten
years the debaters of Oregon's Sa
lem high have carried of f the Pa
cific coast championship!
Out of 18 joint debates and
they have met the best argumen-
tators their part of the country
could put forward they have 17
times emerged victorious!
Which facts having come to the
attention of Vice-Principal Wil
liam R. Barry of the Massachu
setts high school, he, jwith Miss
Helene Shorten, one of the teach
er-coaches of the Debating Socie
ty, aeterminea upon a : cnaiiense,
or invitation, to Salem,. Oregon.
That challenge has been ac
cepted. . j
The debate will take place in
May. '
One team of three debaters
will make. the Journey from the
Bay state to Oregon, j while the
western : high school ... will , send
three of its best to Massachusetts.
The question will ; be; "Re
solved, That the States Should
Ratify Without Delay ! the Pro
posed Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, Empowering the
Congress to Pass a Federal Child
Labor Law." ;
In Oregon, the youthful debat
ers from Massachusetts will sup
port the negative side; when Ore
gon comes to the Bay state, the
Massachusetts speakers -will take
the affirmative. By this method
the Judges will be enabled to pass
upon the comparative ability of
the debaters, rather jthan the .mer
its of the question. , , . , .. ,
And in this day, when states
and cities , and sections are fast
developing Into "boosters," and
competing one with .another, for
favorable publicity, who shall say
this joint debate between the. two
Salems. Will not be j immensely
helpful to both? , d '
What! better evidence that the
first of ,their great schools is go

value can the fathers) and mothers
of Salem ask than the successes
of these youthful debaters?

" Work on the new home of the

week, when the laying of the tin
ir.hed flooring was completed oA

All the woodwork on the third

the J men's lobby. In another
week's time it is expected work ot
laying the finish floor on the first

it Is an up-and-coming and thor

When these young people cross
the continent to Oregon, their way
paid because a proud old city has
shown its faith in them, they will
be so many living testimonies to
the Middle West, andj the .Far
West, and the country at large,
that "old" Salem is very much
alive; for surely no buried city,
no dust-covered city, no city sleep
ing on its monuments, could pro
duce boys and girls like these.
They will see out there in Ore

making, ", great state, larger in

Greater Boston, a veritable land

gave the Columbia river its name.
