A st r onsr feeling on the part of a group of students that a debating sociPty is necessar y to put Peru on the map intell ectuall y (as the football team has done athletIcally) leI to the organization of a debating society last Friday even· ing under the leadershi p of Professor Easo n, head of the departmen t of Eng lish. So important was the subject of debating eonsidered; that the entire chapel period Monday was given over to short discussions by representatives from th e facu lty :md student bod y. Professor J ean, Mi ss Ada Huff, Mi ss Rose Clark, and Professor Eason tall<ed on the value of d ebating to the individual as we ll as to the school. In part these talks ra n somew hat as follows: "Debating stands as a potent r epresentative of the aims and id ea ls that form the basic principles of any sc hool. It battles with provinciali ::;m and d evelops logical and coherent thinking . It stimulates t he participant' s interest in present day problt'ms , s ince these topi cs are popularly chosen as suitab le questions of debate. The de.., velopment of certai n facu lties, plus th e enlightenment and discipline ar.qui r ed by menta l and moral training, are sur e to follow as the result of the preparati on and delivery of. a series o~ arguments. " Thou2h inter collegiate debatina is one of the definite objectives for the future, the members of this new club have other a ims in view, and no one p resent at the first organization meeting could fail to get these aims as presented by the charter members. They have g one in for this thing because they believe that the battles of a debating hall are just as rea l and just as interesting as the fights on the athletic field.

there were no established authorities to interfere with the realization of their iaeals of rel igion and government. These Mayflower Pilgrims were the pioneers of b new movement. They opened the way for- others to follow. Their coming was but a humble beginning of a great exodus of Puritans from England to America during the tyrannous rule of King James I, and his successor, Charles I. They were a selected group of men and women with great strength of character and sincerity of purpose. They established thei r ideals in this new land, and left to their posterity a rich heritage of noble principles. Our cherished national idPals of freedom of r eligion, popu lar education. and democratic govern · ment may be traced back to Puritan beginnings. England. the land that drove t hem forth, and America, the land that received them, now join in paying tribute to the memory of that noble band of exiles who defied tradition and established custom anrl broke their home ties in pursuit of their ideals. ,

Washington, November 12.-President Wilson issued his Thankg isivng proclamation tonight saying that "in plenty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant peo ple fa ce the future" and set aside Thursday, N ovember 25, for the usual observances. The text f ollows: ' 'The season approaches when it behoovee us to turn from the dil'ltractions and preoccupations of our daily life, that we may contemplate the mercies which have been vouchsafed to us and give heartfelt thank,s to God for his m anifold goodnei'ls: "This is an old observance of the American people, deeply imbedded in our thoughts anrl habits. The burdens and the stresses of life have th e ir own insistence.' · "We tave a bundant cause f or thanksgiving . The wounds of the war are rapidl y healing. The great army of free m en. whi ch Ameri ca sent to th e d efense of liberty , r eturning to th e grateful embrace of the nation. has ' r esumed the useful purs uits of peace .. as s imply and as ' · promptly a s~it. ru:lhed to arms in obedience to the country's call. The equal justice of o ur law• has received · s teady vindication in the support of a law-abiding people against various and sini ster attacks which have reflected only the hase3t ag itations of war, now happily passing. "In · pl enty, security and peace, our virtuous and self-reliant lJeople face the future, its duties and its opportunities. May we have vision to discern our duties, the strength both of hand and resolve, to discharge them ; and the so undness of heart to realize that the trut!st opportunities ar e th ose of service . "In a spirit, then, of devo:.ion and steward ship we s houl d g ive thank3 inr·our hea rts and derli ca te ourselves t o the service of God ' s m erci~ul and loving purposes to hi s children. "Wherefore, I. Woodrow Wilson, Pres ident of the United States of America, do hereby desig nate Thursday, the twenty-fifth rlay of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I call upon my countrymen to cease from ordinary tasks and avocations upon that day, giving it up to the remembrance of God and hi s bl essings and the ir dutiful and grateful acknowledgem ent."

The whole reason for that is they wear a suit all throug h the winter-it is never cleaned. They wear it to school and sit there all day, then they may a-o borne; the household furnishings havn't been cleaned and they are full of ger ms. Most diseases is result from negl ect of such things. Whooping Cough Measles, and others are almost the direct result of uncleanliness. Try us on your next cleaning, pressing or dye work. We give service, qua li ty and reasonab le prices.

, Peru High School at Falls City. The Peru training high school team played its first game of the ·season at Fa lls City last Friday ev';ni ng. It was an easy victory for Peru who took their opponents by storm the first half, gaining 11 points before Falls City scored at all. Cowell was the heavy shooter in this half, caging five long shots in nearly straight s uccession. The score was 16 to 5 in Peru's favor at the end of the first half. Fo ils City came back in the second half .J.ike a bunch of furious tigers and fo,ught well to the end of the game., They held Cowell down, but Wilson met the occasion with eq ually good &hooting, mak· ing four field goals. Delzell and Brunsdon did some splendid guarding, holding their opponents to practically no baskets in the first half, and making them fight like demons for those in th e t~econd half.

Basket Ball Rules for B0y s and Girls. Many people f eel they can not be· come interested in basket ball as played by g ir ls, especially when t he fielrl is divid ed into t hree sectio ns. The criticisms are that the game is cr am ped, t hat ther e is no team work, th e forwards and guards d o al l th e wo rk. e tc., etc. Many of these t'!riticisms are true, but they are not always so. To become interested in any game one must know the ru les and the ru les for g ir ls' basket ball, as publi shed by the Ame ri ca~ Physica l Educa t ion Associa tion a re very different from the ru les for boys bas ket ba ll. I think the most noticeable difference is in t he method of g uard ing In g uard ing an oppone nt w ho has the ball, one must not t:mch the body of an opponent with any part of one' s he!dy , must not g uar d wi th arms in any oth er plane t ha n t he pl ane of th e body, a 'ld must not under any conditions, touch t he ba ll whi le it is in th e hand!-l of the oppo nent. Vio lat ions of these rul es ar e fouls and a re so called by t he r efe rf!e. A not her greaL differ ence is that g irl s are a llowed only one d r ibble wh i le boys are a llowed a ny number so long as they do not take a double d ribbl e. This, of course, makes f or mor e team work and 'less indi vidual play. ( Co .ntlnue d on L ast Pa.re. )

Well, it was not magic, but some more junior work, thanks to Mi ss Palmer 's volunteer committee.

First half ended Peru 11, Cotner 10. Second ha lf both teams were still playing the defensive game and the floor being rather nar row made the defense more effective. Once in th is period Cotner boys got in some effective work, coupled with some free t hrows put the score 15 to 14 one point in the lead. With only five minutes to. play Carl and Ed worked the ball under f or goal each, making it 18 to 15 for Peru . It looked as t ho with only minutes t o play that Peru had it tucked away but something we nt wrong the defense broke a little and E tzenmiller for Cotner got two fairly long open shots, his horse shoes were with him and he slipped the little leather eavered ball of a ir thru the r ing upon both occasions and with the few seconds left to play Peru ' f ound no chance to break into the lead again. So history tells us Cotner won 19 to 18. Peru's floorwork was somewhat handi capped by the absence of Clark who was not able to make t he tr ip but Wilson fought hard nnd worked under the basket f or four ringers. Not so bad for a young member on the "tea m to be high point man in a game of this calibre. Few fouls were called. Peru drew six while Cotner dre w on ly four . Shenman for Cotner made three out of si x anrl Ed two out of four trips to the free throw mark.

Her short descriptions of the numbers of her program were very interesting, and were jlreatly appreciated by thP. audience.

My DE>ar Seniors: After very careful consideration of the question, and after many consultations with eminent authorities, including Dean Ellis and the edi t or uf the daily papers in this state a nd others, I have -reached a conclusion which I trust yo u will find satisfactory.

My Dear Children: In yo ur case an announcement is Pntirely unn ecessary. The engagement is obvious.

Two Year Course Maintained. There ha ve been many inquiries and considerable uneasiness as to the status of tht> present junior class in the transformation of the Normal School into a Teachers' College. There is no attempt to disturb lhe present two year course · Anyone entering with 30 high achool credita will be graduated from ~he two year colleg!ate course just at present. The diploma and certihcate issued at that time will be good for three years and transferable into a life certificate after two years' teaching experience. No action has been taken as to when the naming of the classes will be chan~ed. The present junior class will be known as the aenior class next year. In every announcement the Normal authorities have tried to make it clear that the Teachers' College is only legali z in~t the same courses that have been maintained for several years, viz,, a two year • collegiate eourse and a four year collea-iate course. At present the graduate• of the four year course receive a Bachelor of Arts in Education; on and after July 1, 1921, they will receive a Bachelor of Arts dPgree.

Y. M, C. A. Banquet. One of the big events of the Y. M. C. A. year took place last Friday evenin~r when _more than seven ty-five students, faculty and business men of Peru met in the base· ment of the Methodist church for the annual banquet. There was food ·for lhe physical man and there was food for the intellectual and spiritua l man The special guest and speaker of the evening waa Mr. Rohert Wallace, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, whose inspiring address was a main feature of the occasion. Promptly at six-thirty the crowd gathered on the lawn of the church dnd waited patiently until the head cook 11aid the word that brought young men, old men, and middle-aged men down to there places before the f estive board. Real honest-to-goodness chicken and other good thin~s to match, brick ice cream and cake, to say nothing of the beautiful bouqdets of wild sweet wil lams, faced the banqueters as each straight · way forgot what manner of man he was. Surely the ladies were in this place and the men knew it not. The first hour went well , and so began the second, for the crowd had divided itself into two rival yelling groups and were spli tting the roof of the building with yells and songs when the sudden arrival of the speaker was signal for the speech-making to begi n. Showa lter , acting as toastmaster, first called on Erland Nelson, whose topic was "What ~he Y. M. C. A. Stands for." Ganzell then outlined the work planned for the coming school year, after which Mark Detzel! explained the things for which the association spends its money each year. All these student talks were goodLand interesting a nd indicated that these men had a real comprehension not only · of the meaning of the ''Y," but also of th e work that is necessary to carry on its undertakings. At this point the t oastmaster, in very good grace, ca lled on President Rouse to introduce Mr. Wa llace, the main speakE:r of the evening. The speaker in turn introduced himself as one who was'not a religious fanatic, or a professional in re ligion, but a busi ness .man, one who was interes ted in practical Christianity as it may be lived and fostered in a Young Men'• Christian Association. · "The word Christian," decla red Mr. Wallace, ''is the very heart of. the Association; take that word out and yo u have just an ordinary club." The speaker then groupe~ Christiana into what he called surface Christ1ans and serv1ce Christians, and

declared further that what our . servtce . country mos t neel d s IS Christians, men who will assume leadership without desire for se lfish gain, men who know "the joy of life" beca·use th~y have given themselves. in unselfish service to their fP.Jlow men and to their coun-

He stated ·to his audience that it'was a rule of his life to devote four hours to Chr.istan serviee for every eight h.e spent in his office. This time is given largely toY. M. C. A. work.

Debating Teams_.Entertained. The question for Saturday evening, Apri l 23, was, "Resolved: That Mr. and Mrs. Eason are the best of entertainers. '' The debating teams entirely for the Japanese, but the debate was rather a failure as all seven debaters insisteci on taking the affirmative of the que:::tion . Thei r argument was proved by the following points: 1. A chicken dinner that ~nds in real strawberry ~hortcake needs no proof for its validity. ThE: proof is in the eati ng. 2. We have had the beat coach in Nebr.a ska and a rea l friend in Mr. Eason. 3. No debating season.. ever ended better than ours, due to these friendly peo ple, Mr. and Mrs. Eason ...

PROSPECTS FOR NEXT YEAR The f ootba ll and basket ball prospects for the 1921 -22 season are indeed bright. Having most of last year's athletes back fighting for old Peru, we anticipate a combination of play1!rs that shnuld make an all-victorious ag~regation. On the football field, Captain Higgins, our big all -state lineman, will no doubt more th11n repeat his excellent playing of last season. Other men from the 1920 machine .a re Longfellow, Paap, Prante. Carl Rosenquist and Pomeroy, who have demonstrated their. ability to put up a stonewall defense and next fall wi ll find th em charging with their big captain to "arry the backs past the first line o f defense.
