The debate will be interesting in more than
one resect. Tho question is. "Hesolvcd.
That "England's Course or Action in the
Transvaal Is Not Justifiable." Missouri
will have the nlllrmatlve. One of the Ne
braska debaters is a young l.idv. This will
1k the first time a woman has been on one

Much to the regret of the students of the
University the Wisconsin debate has been
declared off. The debate was to havo been
held In KlrksvlUe on April 7. and Mis
souri wjs t" have been represented by II.
S. Conrad. C. E. Urnillin and V.. W. Kel
son. The Philippine question w.i- to have
been debated, and Missouri was against the
retention of th Islands. The point on
which the negotiations broke down was
verv trivial. Wisconsin did not really seem
vry anxious to have the debate after the
sides were chosen, and seemed to seize the
lirst opportunity to withdraw. The refusal
of Wisconsin to po on with the debate
leaves Missouri decidedly in the ascendant,
as last venr, when Missouri lirst debated
Wisconsin, tiie decision of the live judges
was unanimous for Missouri.

to tho approved high schools of the Uni
versity of Missouri. By the solid south is
meant South Central and Southeast Mis

contain a single approved school. When

fcrson City there, was not an approved '
school of the Stato University in that sec-
tion. Now there are five one at Iberia,
one at West Plains, one at Poplar Bluff,

ifcsue of bonds to erect a JII.000 High School.

of 1 mill on the dollar for library and labo

news comes from a number of other places.

Mr. Kdltor Allow me to speak a few
words' in favor of Chamberlain's Cougn
