As has been the plan in the previous contests, each school has a local contest, which is followed by a county contest and later by a district contest. In the local contest, held March 9, Robert Reeve won the right to represent the Rensselaer high school in the county contest, to be held next Monday evening in the high school auditorium. There will be one other contestant, Richard Bowie, who will represent the Wheatfield school. •Through the generosity of a citizen of Indiana, who is much interested in the training for citizenship afforded by the discussion contests of the State High School Discussion League, the Bureau of Public Discussion will be able to award a .bronze medal to the winner of each county and a ten dollar gold piece to the winner of each district contest. As heretofore, a gold medal will be given to the successful contestant at the state contest. Following this contest will be a local contest to determine the boy and girl to represent the Rensselaer high school, in the oratorical and reading contests with Delphi and Monticello, -to- he-held—in -Delphi; on the- eveningfollowing the track and field meet.
