C. I. was the only outsider that took part in the program,outside of the question to be debated, he delivering a neat ad. dress,also thanking' the C. C. I. for�the good time given them. In the debate the Goderich Collegiate was re resent- ed by Messrs. J. Mcl+lwen and t. Dur- nin, while Messrs. C. A. Tebbutt and Thornton Mustard• upheld the.honor of the home Collegiate. The subject, "Re- solved that poverty is doe more to economic than to moral causes,' af- ford plenty of scope for evidence of deep thought and a 'display of intel- leetual fencing. ' Goderich took the affirmative side, Clinton the negative, ° but owing to the wording of the de- bate divergent views were held as to what constituted as "economic and a "moral" causerespectively. The judges Messrs. G. F. Blain, and W. Brydone and C. L..Eishcr, town, found the con- tention on the one hand too restricted and on the other hand too wide. Tak- ing into consideration those circum- stances they found the weight of the arguments in favor of the negative and gave their decision accordingly. We would like to see more of these debatee..
