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.

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.
