The 'Editors Future Orators Meet Today Recent investigation by this news-paper has revealed that there is a great deal of latent interest in form-ing a debating club here at State Teachers. Looking at other col-leges, such as Hopkins and U. of Md., we notice that they have a club or some type of organization devbt-ed to debating. The fact is that even high schools, such as City Col-lege, Poly, Forest Park end Patter-son Park have organizations em-phasizing debating. Certainly a teacher's college is not going to be outdone by a group of high schools even thRigh they recognize the importance of debat-ing. The way in which a person develops his poise, his outlook and his horizon through debating is ab-solutely amazing. Let's get together on this problem and make some sort of headway in this hithey to unex-plored field. Those interested in improving their poise, their manner of expres-sing themselves and their college, please attend the organization meet-ing in room 220, this afternoon at four o'clock. Museum Highlights Because of the newly aroused interest in the Cone Collection, a course on contemporary painting will be given in the Lecture Hall beginning on October 27th.
