Timmins High School _ Wins Saturday Debate Canada should adopt a system of! state medicine, according to the result of a dbate held at the Timmins High |\ and Vocational School on Saturday night when the local debating team won a decision from Iroquois Falls in discussing the subject. Contest with Iroquois Falls High School Debating Team on the Question of State Medicine. Debates Held Here and at Iroquois Falls. Timmins Won Both Places. While the debate was going on, A similar affair was in progress in Iroâ€" quois Falls, but with the teams reâ€" versed. Thus, Timmins argued the negative side in the Falls, They won there, too. Victor Copps and Cecil Linder, the Timmins students who debated here, presented a most convincing argument. Graduates of medical school would have no worries about getiing set up in pracâ€" tice, it was stated. The "business" part of the profession, so far as those actuâ€" ally engaged in the work are concerned, would be nonâ€"existent, and with its disâ€" appearance, a doctor‘s life would te much more useful one to the world at large. The members of the profession would again benefit under the scheme from having certain fixed hours of duty. They would be on "shifts" and would thus be awble to live more normal lives than they at present do. Leisure might be used in any manner, of course, but doubtless study and research would be advanced. Costs $30 Per Capita Per Year Costs of medical attention in Canâ€" ada per individual per year are about $30, it was stated. Under state mediâ€" cine, a plan for which has been formuâ€" lated in British Columbia and in Alâ€" berta, the cost to the individual would not be nearly so great. The preventative angle of th> discusâ€" sion was a strong point for the affirâ€" mative. Yearly physical examination would exmiable physicians to discover disease in its earlier stages, to the great benefit of not only the individual but the community at large, it was argused. The beginning already made toward state medicing in relief medical at‘y4â€" tion and in the organization of free' clinics has proven most satisfactory, the affirmative side declared, Strong Opposition In opposition to the scheme, the Iroâ€" quois Falls students, Misses Ehyler and Charron brought in the suggestion that medical services would lose a great deal of the personal touch between physiâ€" cian and patient, to the dstriment of the patient. The present system has proven quite satisfactory for a long period of time; the general public is entirely satisfied with the way things are done now, and a change might only upset the whole structure of the proâ€" fession, they held. The public and the doctors themselvis would suffer from a system of state medicine, the negative declared, for the thing would tend to become maâ€" chineâ€"like, not having sufficient regard for particular cases. A strong point brought forward by the Iroquois Falls students was the contention that state medicine, tried in Germany within th: past few years, has not proven a success, s Judges for the debate here were Rev. Canon Cushing, Miss Henderson, of Troquois Falls, and F. Anglin, The chairman, Dr. James B. McClinâ€" ton. was very much impressed with the manner in which the debats had been carried on, he told The Advance in a brief interview afterwards. "They had a remarkable grasp of their subject," he said, "and had obviâ€" ously spent much time in studying i. I think the teachers who trained them also deserve much credit for their wOrk." The Timmins students who successâ€" fully put forward the negative side in Iroquois Falls were Maurice Black and Jacques Sauve. During the evening at the local school, the orchestra, under the direcâ€" tion of Mr. Mitchell, played a number of selections: the girls‘ glee club, under Miss Smyth‘s direction, sang; a group of girls, trained by Miss Anne Scott, presented some folk dances; and David Gordon and Stewart Scott playâ€" ed a violin duet.
