last week markham vs stouff ville the two markham papers have tho following to say matkham sent up a very strong team and had the rink been larger they would have won as it was markham played a splendid game but the smallness of the rink enabled their slower and heavier opponent to use their weight to advantage and breai up many a swift combination rush economist markham had their tttll team and felt the only thing that might keep them from winning would be the small rink and poor lighting which we think proved to be true sun the lighting and size of the rink were certainly i athei against our boys sun theroj nothing tike letting them dawn cany and no doubt poor old markham would have won oniy the seouft ville hoys were too much for on lining the past two or three week a debate has been carried on by the pupils of the mckbam high school resolved that higher education is parcticaly of no value frank mor gan and wm kciiredy for the neg ative and harold philips and annie ucivefor the affirmative thetr papers in a condensed fotin have been pub lished tluee judges were nppoiuted mvtter frank unde hill son of keeve underbill being one of them and this is how master frank sums up the ar gumeuts in my opinion those in favor of high er eduction have wen the debates i think they have on the whole stated their cave more clearly miss reive speaks of carnegie bockfellerand ed isou as having educated themselves do not believe thi to be any disclaim against higher education for others may not have had their opportunities mies reive also says that the exam is the goal of the student and that it should not be but i think this is suf- ficientfy answered by mr kennedy whosavs that it is the education uot the system jhat is important for the systrmisthe fault of the education department again the argument that while all aio taxed only a few partake of this higher education i believe is answered by the statement that he who is educated may lift up the morals of the community et noble the ideals of his associates mr philip save that those who teceive university edu cation may be a be to tell of events one thousand years ago but know nothing f the presen this is aimered bv the statement that education is useful to the receiver in increasing his pow ers to think also he says that many people have never received a higher eoucition but are perfectly happy bits as mr kennedy says the bette educated the people are the greater the nation will be and lastly and i think chiefly mr kennedy says that the chief value of education is what makes of a man rather than the power it gives him for diin wirk if a little education will elevate a mans mind will not more of it strengthen his character still more therefore i think x am justified in de ciding in favor of those supporting higher education stouffville public school- 3tundiiift of pupils in- stouffville public school for jan 1004 room iv class v c hoover a armstrong i underbill sr iv flossie davis eva
