Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 121, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 May 1914 — Page 4 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Dwight Curnick goes to Gary tomorrow, where he will represent Jasper county in the last prelimin-; ary contest of the high school dis* cussion league. This league is a new movement in the state of Indiana and the contest at Bloomington, May 29th, is the first annual contest. The plan jot this organization is that eachWtar a general quettloh. be decided upon for the whole state and through the elimination by various preliminary contests a winner for the state be chosen. Those, contests begin in the individual high schools, the next step being a county contest; then the county winners meet in each congressional district to send a representative from the district to the final state contest. The question for this year is “Indiana’s New Constitution.” Each speaker discusses the questions from his owp standpoint and has eight minutes for his discussion and three minutes for rebuttal. We are glad that Rensselaer is getting in line at the very beginning. It promises well for other years. Dwight Curnick is gifted with oratorical ability as has been evidenced by his recent , work in debating. We feel sure that Jasper county will be well represented and that Rensselaer will have cause to be proud of his part in the contest. ■
