The affirmative side of the debate was taken by, Messrs G. S. Kirby (leader), W. R.i Brown, and Ralph Malcolm (ex-stu-dent), and the negative argument was in the hands of Messrs A. R. Cameron (leader), P. Wellington, and R. Guthrie (present student). The president of the Commerce Faculty Debating Society (Mr F. M. Satterthwaite) was in the chair and the judge was Mr C. B, Barrowclough, who awarded - the decision to the ex-students who had taken the affirmative. Some interesting and novel points were advanced by several of the speakers; but generally the argument was based on the lines usually taken when this much-discussed coni troversy has been under discussion. A ! vote of thanks was accorded the judge and the speakers. ,
