PRESIDENT   THOMAS   AND   FACULTY
COME  TO  AID  OF   DEBATERS
New   System   in   Debating
Debating at Bryn Mawr. which is now
carried on by classes in the hope that It
will become more spirited, has received
a new impetus. President Thomas has
for some time been anxious to secure the
services of a professional coach but since
this has been impossible, she, and some
members of the faculty have most
kindly offered to do the coaching them-
selves Twice a month the four classes
meet in their respective rooms in Taylor,
Wednesdays at eitfht thirty for trials.
These are informal intraclass debates
on some subjects of immediate college
interest which takes little or no prepara-
tion. For each class one member of the
faculty acts as critic, to give the deba-
ters pointers on their delivery and form
and   to   pick   to   placet   their   briefs   and
nparata arguments.
Last Wednesday was the first trial of
ihe new system. The four members of
the faculty who consented tV.coach that
evening were: President Thomas. Dean
Reilljr, Miss Shearer, and Dr. Wilm, who
drew lots for the classes. The subject for
all classes was: "Resolved the New Qulzz
System is an Improvement over the
old.''    The debates wet.' hardly   polished
to start with the New Year. Many schools
and colleges already have their own am- ,)ent.

because of the short time for prepara-
tion. In general the mat. rial was good
but there is of course a great deal of
room for improvement. If we are will-
ing to give this matter a little time and
interest we will profit by this new sys-
tan and eventually make presentable
speakers. The need of the ability to
�ft forcibly and convincingly cannot
be too strongly emphasized in this age
of activities for women. Miss Tlmmas
pointed out this fact last Wadnaaday
Kveryone wants to learn to speak in
theory but it is amazing how few people
want to put their theory into practice
by active debating. This is your chance
to learn to speak � Miss trandell. Miss
Donnelly. Dr. Fenwick, Mr. King. Dr.
Wheeler and Dr Gordon will also coach
in the future. The Seniors meet regular-
ly in room D, the Juniors in room E, the
Sophomores in room F. the Freshmen in
room H. Everyone who wants to take
advantage of this opportunity the faculty
have afforded us to get good advice and
coaching on the difficult art of "speak-
, ing convincingly." should BOOM next
