that has attended a championship de-

the 235 high schools of the .state which
were members of the Michigan High
School Debating league, held over 500
debates in which more than 1,000 high
school pupils participated in the pres-
ence of over 100,000 people of the state
of Michigan.
The subject of the next year's de
bates, while not formally stated at
this time, will concern the abolition
of the direct primaries. A formal
statement of the question, together
with the League literature, will be
sent out to all schools in the state on
Sept. 15.
During the last two years, The De-
troit Free Press has given a wall
plaque as a trophy to each of the
schools that qualified for the elimi-
nation series of the debates. Th'is year
64 schools qualified. The Free Press
also gave a gold watch to each of the
participants in the final debate.
In 1917 the League was organized
as one of. the activities of the Univer-
sity Extension Division with a mem-
bership of 66 schools. Beginnng with
1917 the membership has increased as
follows: 66, 70, 90, 120,135, 140, 166,

Resigned Professor
Was One Of Oldest
Members Of Faculty
Prof. Fred N. Scott, head of the
rhetoric department, whose resigna-
tion was accepted by the regents at
its monthly meeting Friday evening,
was one of the oldest members of the
University faculty, and through his
long years of service has won an
international reputation as a rhetoric-
ian and grammarian.
Professor Scott's colleagues have
regarded him as a modernist in the
exposition of speech principles, rather
than as a classicist. It was one of
his courses, given in the last years
of the nineteenth century under the
title of "Rapid Writing" which is
credited with being one of the fore-
runners of present day courses in
news writing and journalism.
Professor Scott's studies and ree-
searches were varied in nature.
Among his essays, books, and philolo-
gical publications, are treatises on
aesthetics, literary style, interpreta-
tion of Biblical passages, the teaching
of English, English grammar, aind
rhetorical theory. He has served as
an officer of many national and inter-
national organizations of English and
rhetoric authorities.
Tram's-Atlantic Aero
Service Is Planned,
Says Boston Paper
(By Associated Press) I
BOSTON, May 28. - The Boston
Traveler, in a. copyrighted story pub-
lished today, says that it has learned
of preparations which have been go-
ing on over a long period of regular
trans-Atlantic airplane service with
giant planes carrying at least 100 pas-
senigers.
The Traveler says:
The Boston Traveler today gives
the first news of the hitherto secret
preparations for regular trans-Atlan-
tic airplane service using giant liners
carrying at least 100 passengers each.
Boston will be one of the first ports
in America to get the service.
"The great trans-oceanic ships will
be heavier-than-air planes. The back-*
ers of the enterprise tested and aban-
doned the idea of using dirigibles.
The date of the start of the service
is not divulged.
"Until now the plan has been pro-
tected by the utmost secrecy. Quick
upon the heels of Capt. Lindbrglh's
triumph comes the Traveler's discov-
ery of the secret preparations that!
have been going on for 16 years with-
out even a breath of it reaching the
ears of a single person outside the
powerful group of engineers, finan-
ciers and sportsmen who are making
possible the gigantic undertaking."
"The trail leads from Boston to New
York and Dayton and finally to the
very heart of it all in an extremely
interesting establishment on a lonely
mountain top in Massachusetts."
"It would appear impossible for
such a celebrity to disappear so ut-
terly from the eyes of the world and
his friends until it is eplained that
fate helped him in his desire for se-
clusion. Several years ago a man of
the same name was killed in Japan
and when word of the death was
cabled to America it was thought that
it was he who was dead. The misun-
derstanding fitted perfectly into the
plans of the man whom the Traveler
reported found on the Massachusetts
mountain top.
