230 IN PRELIMINARIES
With Caro high school out of the
race for the state debating champion-
ship as a result of its defeat last Fri-
day by Plymouth high schobl, there
now remain 15 teams in the Michigan
High School Debate league contest.
With the exception of Caro the re-1
maining schools will meet Friday to
determine the teams which will go
into the next elimination contest.
After the debates on Friday there will
be two more elimination series before
the state championship debate, which
will be held early in May in Hill audi-
torium.
As a result of the second elimina-
tion series of debates, the following
pairings have been made for the con-
tests on Friday. In each case, thel
first named school has the affirmative,
while the school underlined entertains
the debate.
Albion-Buchanan.
Nashville-North Adams
Custer-East Grand Rapids.
Sault Ste. Marie-Rogers City.
Elsie-Millington.
Ann, Arbor-1t. Clemens.
Oak Ridge (Royal Oak)-Roseville.
In all of the debates the question to
be discussed is "Resolved: That the
United States government should own,
the coal mines."
The series of preliminarydebates
began last fall with more than 230
high schools throughout the state en-
tered. Of these, the 64 schools with
the highest number of points scoredI
in the four preliminary contests quali-
ed for the elimination series for the
state title. Each of these schools will
receive a University of Michigan wall
plaque from the Detroit Free Press,
and the members of the teams will
have their picture appear in the roto-
gravue edition of an early issue.
. The winning team in the final de-
bate will be presented with the Uni-
versity trophy for excellence in de-
bating, which is awarded by the ex-
tension department. This is a large}
silver cup suitably engraved. A simi-
lar, but smaller, award will be given
the team finishing second. The in-
dividual members of the two teams}
will receive gold watches from the De-
troit Free Press, as a recognition of
individual forensic ability.

tional president of the American
Theosophical society at 8:15 o'clock
Saturday in Lane hall. Ile will speak
under the auspices of the local lodge
of the society.
The speaker will present the hypo-
thesis of reincarnation as one that
unites the facts of science with phil-
osphy and with the highest religious
thought. In this connection he will
discuss the sanity of the idea and its
scientific aspects. Among other ,points
he will consider are evolution vs. spe-
cial creation; the inequalities of life;
the reason for the existence of evil in I
divine creation; and the soul's triumph I
over matter.
Mr. Rogers, who is a former news-
paper man, abandoned journalism 221
years ago to take up theosophical lec-
turing, and since that time has given
exclusive attention to that work. Dur-
ing that period he has traveled in Aus-
tralia, England, Ireland, Scotland,
Wales, and Canada, as well as in the
United States, and is known to nearly
all the English-speaking countries of I
the world. For the past seven years
