WEN real 11111511 et the program made
what may have beaten as a duty into
a deceit pleasure. 'Fbe addresses of
the it eats were of • high order,
showing careful research and pains-
taking preparation. The choice of sub-
jects proved that the sort of educa-
tion thew young people are receiving
L of no superficial character, no mere
smattering of knowledge. The staff of
the Collegiate, especially Wad PoweU,
wlla- je&.lhe supervision mf Ude work,
and the young speakers themselves are
to be congratulated on the fine showing
made on Friday night.
The contest was carried on under
W.O.S.S.A rules, which state that,
of 100 poastble marks, 65 are allowed
for a prepared address and 35 for an firm and 2lLto ry labor. of the
impromptu epeec•h. For the latter of the laborers, and of the force P -ti-
-hes some thirty subjects had been ,erted by the communistic leaders
ease, In a clear and pleasant voice, and
scarcely glanced at the few notes he
held In his hands. His impromptu ad-
dress, on "Our Skating Rink," was a
very meat little speecb on a somewhat
ungainly building.
Harold Taylor spoke on the subject :
"Who Is the Patrioti" .He said that,
though we glia d served beer w the
man who serves his country in war,
they are to be no leas honored who
serve in time of peace. He described
the true patriot as a man of strong
religious convictions, a man of compas-
elon, a man who exalts honesty and
truth, one whose ambition spurs him
onward, and one whose lips are clean.
For his Impromptu speech he chose,
'The Attractions of (loderlch for Tour-
ists," a subject to which he did full
justice.
"Soviet Weld/"= -sea the titleditAbie
address given by Eileen O'Brien. She
spoke oL.the antagoitiem shown in Bus -
ata towards the chnrcb. and the open
teaching or athetam. Then followed
vivid descriptions of the conditions of
spate
selected; trim thtar each caudldate,
when his or her turn came, drew three,
hem which n chntee had to be made.
Twelve wldete. only were allowed for
preparation. and then the student was
railed to the platform. Such impromptu
speaking is a severe teat, particularly
for young people, but It Ie. of course,
excellent training and will help the
pnplls to acquire tag valuable accom-
plishment of thinking oo their feet.
Rev. .1. N. H. Hill. acted as (hair-
min
hairman for the c,eufng: and with him on
the platform were Mrs. l)oegtaa
Brown. regent of the ,thmeek Chapter.
1.O.D.E.. Mrs F 11. Relditt. pear t
gent. Ml.s Emilie Buchanan. secretary
of the Chapter. and Mrs. J. It Whitely.
vh•e-president of the Catholic Wnmena
rvague.
Only Two Boy Speakers
Of the ten contestants only two were
Moya, and their addressees' were given
first. Alex. Mact•kear chose for his
first address. "The Freedom of the Seas
Controyerry between Great Britain and
the r'nitet States." ile began hta ad -
drown by giving.* brief history of the
navies nt the two rountrlov. that nt
the British navy dating to the time
of &Wed tbs. tint. and Tram that
time forward playing an lnereasInily
important part in the history of the
nation. The united States navy, on
the eontnry. i. comparatively modern
and has played no prominent part In
history. He then dealt with various'
phaeea of the rnntroveray between the
two ennne-lee. the needs and the de-
mands of eah. sad terb various confer-
ences' held trt-ts - * h * settio-
ment. The young orator +poke with
to obtain their ends. Her short ad-
dress was on "The Place of Hlghwaye
in the Development of Canada," and
the young lady's ability was shown in
the wasp she handled that subject with
only a few minutes' preparation.
Mester Life I
Jean Abell spoke on "Pioneer Life
in the Loeallty in Which 1 live." She
stated that much of her material Vial
oWbiaisted rum the history of (:oderic'h

.luitute, and ahs proceeded to relate the
story of the opening of the Huron
Tract, Bali the work of Galt. Dunlop,
and other pioneers to the early. days
In this district.. Her Impromptu ad-
dles was on the subject: "The Com-
parative .Adyautagea of Bringing f'p
Young People in Rural and in Urban
Surroundings." She dealt in the few
minutes allnwwl her with wheal life,
'sports'. home life. and opportunities for
