CONDON TEAM FEELS
THAT DECISION WAS
SECURED UNFAIRLY
The Condon High School de
bating team, consisting of Herb'
ert Welshons and Nell Goodwin
defended the negative side of
the state question against the
Milton High School team, affirm
ative, in the chapel of Columbia
College in Milton last Saturday
night
While the Milton team got a
two to one decision,- the Condon
people present as well as others
felt that however honest the two
judges may have been the Con
don team beat them thoroughly
and decisively and should have
bad an unanimous decision.
The Condon High School team
feels that small politics were em
ployed for the selection of judges.
The by-laws of the debating
league provide for the mutual
selection of judges by the prin
cipals of the contesting schools.
The visiting principal is to send
a list of names of people who
will be agreeable to him as
judges. The home principal is
to pass on this list, accepting or
rejecting, and then furnish the
visiting principal with a list. This
is to be kept up until the judges
are selected. The Condon prin
cipal sent in his list of judges
about the first of February. The
Milton principal let the matter
rest until the evening of Feb
ruary 8th, one day before the
debate, making it impossible to
reject his and select others be
fore the time set for the debate.
In this way he was able to select
two of the judges himself and he
selected them from the school
where he and his faculty re
ceived their education. However
fair these two judges may have
been it was like the grandparent
comparing the merits of the
grandchild with a stranger.
While we admit the judges were
probably sincere in their decision,
we also unhesitatingly say that
the act of the Milton principal in
employing such methods inrse
lecting judges is more the act of
a cheap politician than areduca
tor and such methods should be
held in contempt by all people
who like clean interscholastic
contents. -r'
