The following pepen are dubbed with The Prew and Standard: The Preaaand Standard and— The Progreato Farmer (6moa)|1.16 Southern Calibrator.. 1.50 K IM ~ LIB • •••• ooooeooo The following is the paper read by Miss Edith Meyer of the Walterboro high school who waa one of the neg ative debaters. This speech the judges considered the best and the debater’s medal accordingly went to Miss Meyer: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle men:— To every candid mind it must be apparent atfer due consideration, that the negative of this proposition is true, and it will be my purpose, in the following brief treatise to demon strate this fact. It is neccessary, how-ever, in the beginning, to find an accurate defini tion of the terms used. It would be manifestly unfair to include within thedefi^iitionof ocollege every school, which through the egotism and zeal of the friends and supporters, as sumes the name college. We must confine ourselves to those institutions of learning in our county which main* tain such a curriculum as that they may justly confer upon their grad uates the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or higher degrees. For the purpose of this argument, such shall be the definition of col lege. On the other ^hand, it would be manifestly unfair to include within the definition of a High school, every school in the country whose curri culum is lower than that of a col lege. The average common schools taught in our towns and in the country are not High schools, mf more than a High school which. sumes the name college, is in reality a college. For the purpose of this argument, we shall define a High school to be a school having S&* least ten grades, and whose certificates of graduation justly entitles the holder fio admis sion .into the freshman class of a true collegp. Accepting as trot the above defi nition, we shall not bothar ourselves about the effect add importance of tin old field echeol, eg . the ordinary 000001. IU OOP they ere! not embraced in It is true that some of the greatest men our country ever produced never saw the walls of a college, hut they attended only the old-field or common school. History is full of men like these. But the success of such men was not due to their train ing received from these old-field schools, but rather in spite of such training. They were self-made men who educated|themselves|after they had quit school, and, besides, as sug gested above, they were no more graduates of High school than they were of College. They were the product of schools lower than the High schools, and of their own unaided exertions. Let us now come to the discussion of the real issue: What effect has the High school had orr our^itizenship in the past? What effect is it having now? I lay down without hesitation the broad .proposition that in the past it has had practically none, for the reason that until recently we had very few of them. Our system of education until within the past few decades was confined to the ordinary common school and the college, and it has been the labor of education ia the recent years to bridge the chpsm between of the common school and the college by instituting and estab lishing our present system of High schools. The few who attended the High schools in the past went there in order to prepare themselves for col lege, and after finishing their course of study at the High school, actually attended College, hence, the effect of the high school in the past has been only to prepare students who afterwards became college gradu ates. The High school of the past was not within reach of any but the nch classes of society. The poor boy got what he could from the common school and then either went immedi ately into business or by his own ex ertion prepared himself for college. Those who went from the common school to their life work were not High school graduates, under the definition given above. On the con trary. our colleges have always had a powerful effect upon our citizen ship. After due alio wince for a few notable exceptions in the eaee of brilliant eetf-made men, we still tin pTfrtvpfjtkw* tint in’ the all have baea college graduates. If you will call the roll of our Presidents, Senators, Judges and Church digni taries you will find that all of them held college diplomas, with a few exceptions, like Abraham Lincoln, was the product of the common school and his own endeavors, and not in any sense of the High school, and so in the realm of literature nine-tenths of our great writers came from our colleges. But perhaps'you say thit this is true, but that it isn’t fair to compare the high school to the college at a time when the high school didn’t ex ist. Let us then confine ourselves t® the present, and I apprehend that this is the true construction of the question before us anyway, for it reads that the high school is (not tering of Latin and Greek, &nd in/ this condition is turned out to mak< his mark in the world. He may into business and succeed, but il takes a profession he finds himself terribly handicapped and is old and broken before he can catch step with his fellows who are college men. On the other hand, the college graduate begins his life work well grounded and thoroughly educated : m all the higher branches of learn ing, his mind'well trained and he be comes a leader. We find the college graduates fill ing responsible public positions where they are bound to have more influence upon our feitizenship than the man who is a graduate of a high school. In addition to this all our competent teachers in college, high was) a more important factor in the schools or common schools are col- development of our citizenship than j lege graduates, the college is (not was). High schools are beneficial and In the first place. I maintain that necessary, but it must be admitted more young men and women gradu- J that the college is more necessary ate from the colleges of our country! and that the college graduate is a than from the high schools, for the more important factor in our citizen- reason that the high school is a kind ship than the high school graduate. of abridge between the common school and the college and not within reach of the average citizen. The average man outside of cities must send his children, to the common school next his door, and after finish ing there they must then go to the college or the high school, or if pos sible both. Being too poor to attend both the child usually prepares him self as beet he can at home and goes direct to college. On the other hand, the man who is able to send his boy to a high school is able to send him to a college also, and hence the high school can claim no credit for the cit izenship of a man who graduates from college after leaving the high school. But to settle the question finally let us take two impfe^one who is a graduate of a high school and one who is a graduate of a college and compare them and see which one is more of a factor in our citiaenehip. If we conclude that a college man is more important, then we must con clude that a dozen or a hundred or all college graduates ate more im portant faction than a dozen or a hundred or all high school graduates. The high school graduate is well grounded la the tiementary branches of learning. - He Wm leading, writing, spalling, arithmetic and has ChamtMrUin'B Htomsch sod Llrsr TsMeu will brsot up the nerves, bsoish sick hesdsohe, prevent daepondenev sad invigorste the .whole system.
