NORMAL DEBATE
The question for the inter-Normal debates
has been decided upon. The one to
be used in the Oregon debates has not
been definitely settled yet, although it
is fairly certain that the queston now
proposed will be used.
Debate Questions.
Foi the inter-Normal debates the
question will be: Resolved, That the
United States should adopt a system of
responsible cabinet government similar
in rinciple to that in force in Great
Britain.
The question to be used in the debate
with Linfield College is not definitely
settled yet, but it is fairly certain that
it will be: Resolved, That the United
States should have a national board of
arbitration, with compulsory powers for
settling disagreements between employers
and employees in all essential industries.
In debating with the Badger Debate
club of the University the same question
that was used in the Inter-Normal debates
wil be again used.
Tentative Schedule.
The Badgers will debate here some
time during the week of Feb. 12-16.
The inter-Normal debates will probably
take place about March 1.
The Oregon debates about the second
week in March.
Saturday Evening, Nov. 18, Normalites will have the privilege of hearing
Mr. Gorst.
"BIRD M A N ' S " GALLS GIVEN WITH
PERFECTION THAT FOOLS THE BIRDS
j Anion:; Hit-Veat naturalists of the country, few stand out with greatei
prominence than Charles Crawford Gorst, the "bird man." He is recognizee
by the Audubon Society and other great organizations as not only a great bird
student and authority, but as also being the greatest imitator of bird songs
In America. He correctly imitates more than 400 birds in a manner so true
that the birds themselves are often attracted to him and answer his calls. He
Is also a clever painter and in presenting his lecture entertainment he uses
60 pastel paintings of familiar birds, which are the work of his own hand.
t Musicians will be interested in noting that in his bird song Mr. Gorfc
Bounds a note which is several octaves higher than the highest note of Tetra
rinni and that even the humming bird and the violinist are outdistanced^ii
the race for tonal altitude. In his imitations Mr. Gorst neither sings nor whis
ties, but resorts to a peculiar combination of both without any artificial means
Whatsoever. He is truly one of the marvels of the platform. * *
NOTED
POET WILL LECTURE
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Vachel Lindsay, contemporary American
poet, appears in recital on our lecture
p'atform next Wednesday evening
lat 8 o'clock.
Need ess to sr.y, his apprar-uu-e is
Uwaiipd w'ih nv .\ c-'Ciu'fis lv those
'w"io air r.iy know him by np-'t'tion and
Ithrousrh his work. Tn modern antholo-igies,
Lindsay's poems are given more
Ispace than are those of any other poet,
isome of his most famous being "The
jChinese Nightingale," "General Booth
JEnters Heaven," and "The Congo," the
flatter a study of the negro race.
| Lindsay calls his poetry "high-class
| vaudeville," and delivers it as such. It
Jis safe to say that no one on the lecture
jplatform has quainter personality and
(mannerisms than has Vachel Lindsay.
i The poet is thoroughly American and
jcomes from Lincoln's town, Springfield,
illlinois. He is being engaged for lec-jtures
by colleges and universities all
lover the country, his booking list being
'under the management of Professor
Armstrong of the University of Texas.
From the Bookman:
"Vachel is ruddy, sandy-haired, middle-
sized, with eyes the color of a green
twilight .and pale eyebrows surmounted
jby two remarkable bumps. According to
my phrenology, one of these bumps
represent love of Springfield, Illinois,
and the other love of a square meal and
plenty of talk. He is perfectly shaven,
and wears very neat machine-made
clothes and black stub-toed shoes. First
he bows very low, with excessive politeness;
then he throws his head back,
like a lion at bay, to show that no matter
what you are, he is not afraid of you.
When he is excited he closes his eyelids
;and pushes his exctatic phiz toward you.
There is something delightfully elvish
about him."
From the Bookman, New York:
"If you have never heard Vachel Lindsay
read in a drawing room, you have
a monstrous treat in store for you. He
is dramatic on a lecture platform; but
at a tea party he is almost Simian. With
lis hair flopping over his face, he strides
up and down, waving a majestic finger,
and shouting strenuously."
Mr. Klemme Gives Series of Talks.
Mr. Klemme spoke at Fairhaven high
school, November 13, at the P. T. A.
meeting. On November 14, he spoke at
Franklin school. At the Burlington
school, Nov. 15, Mr. Klemme addresser
the members of the faculty, choosing
for his subject, "Why Teachers Fail."
