The Exponent Northern Normal and Industrial School Vol. XIX ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, APRIL 16, 1921 No. 26 THE NORTH DAKOTA NORMALITES ARE DEFEATED N.N.I.S WINS IN DUAL DEBATE Our Negative Team Wins at Ellen-dale; Affirmative Team is Victo-rious on Home Platform The question "Resolved that the principle of the closed shop should be adopted in the industries of the United States," was hotly debated and ably handled by both negative and affirmative teams of this school in the dual debate with the Ellen-dale Normal representatives, last Friday evening. On the home floor the question was thoroughly discuss(- ed from both standpoints and al-though Ellendale had the side most commonly favored by the public, the open shop, our boys put up the strongest speeches, and thus won the debate by a two to one vote in fa-vor of the closed shop. Those who took part in the debate, which was held in the Northern Normal audito-rium, were: Earl Clark, Leonard Reager and Emanuel Schmierer of Ellendale, and Ben Sueltz, Carroll Stinson and David Lynch of Aber-deen. While the affirmative team was de-bating the issue on the home floor, our negative team, composed of Phila Humphreys, Russell Hall and Harold Hammer, were arguing for the open shop at Ellendale. Each speaker had 10 minutes for constructive speeches; in the rebut-tals the first two speakers on each side had five minutes each, and the last two on each side seven minutes each. The debate was held under the regular rules 'which usually gov-ern dual debates. The decision in both cases was 2 to 1 in our favor, making a double victory for N. N. I. S. The judges were: Atorney Thos. L. Arnold and Rev. F. W. Bartlett of Aberdeen, and Superintendent W. J. Atha of Ipswich. Paul J. Northrop, professor of pub-lic speaking at N. N. I. S., who had charge of the training, is to be- con-gratulated on the outcome. This is Professor Northrop's first year with us, but in the course of a few months he has succeeded remarkably in or-ganizing and conducting exception-ally good work in dramatics, oratory and debate. GOOD WEATHER BRINGS FORTH MUCH SPLENDID ATHLETIC SPIRIT TRACK—TENNIS—BASEBALL Women Stage Interesting Indoor Baseball Tournament The young women of the school are just completing a very ieterest-ing and successful indoor baseball tournament. Three teams chosen from the Pre-Normal department, two from the Junior Normal and one from the Senior Normal, make up the contesting teams. The lead throughout has been maintained by the seniors, who have at the time of this writing, won all games played. Next in the tourna-ment stands the second Junior team. The other teams are about evenly matched and comparative scores are almost equal. All teams have been working hard and have shown strong improvement since the be-ginning of the season. Competition at these games has been very strong and has brought forth a fine class spirit. The ri-valry between seniors and juniors (Continued on page 4) FOURTEEN TO COMPETE IN SHORT STORY CONTEST FOR GALLETT MEDAL STORIES IN HANDS OF JUDGES Announcement of Awards Made in Next Exponent Fourteen manuscripts were hand-ed in for competition in the Gallett short story contest. This is a larger number than usually submitted, hence this contest will be keen and snappy. One judge has already pass-ed judgment on the stories and they are now in the hands of the second judge. In all probability next week's Exponent will be able to announce the final decision. Meanwhile there is much guess-ing and unbounded suspense as to which three competitors will be the fortunate ones to capture the prizes as well as the honor of winning the contest. The three prizes are: a gold medal, a silver medal, and a foun-tain pen. These are given by one of Aberdeen's progressive business men, Mr. D. G. Gallett. Mr. Gallett is one of those business men who is not too busy to be interested in matters beyond his own threshold. Thus he has every year since 1910, offered the above inducements to aspiring students in the field of writ-. ing. "The main idea,' says Mr. Gal-lett, "is that it might bring out a short story Writer of real ability. It is for every student in the Normal and I hope that everyone tries for the prize. You never know how' much you have in you until you start to write." NO ADELPHIAN PLAY Last year the Adelphians present-ed "The Arrival of Kitty," as the first annual Adelphian play. The play met with such a rage of enthusiasm and was so cleverly presented that it was decided to make the Adel phian play an annual affair This year, because of the many activities of the school and the amount of work which the Adelphians already are undertaking, the play was given up. VICTORY MEDALS FOR ARMY MEN Have You Yours President H. W. Foght, Normal Industrial School. Aberdeen South Dakota. Dear Sir: No doubt there are a number of army ex-service men who are at-tending your sch-ool. These men are entitled to a Victory Medal. Will you be kind enough to have insert-ed in your school paper if you have one, or have posted on the bulletin board the following notice: "Every man who served during the World War and honorably - dis charged from the army is entitled a Victory Medal. All that is neces-sary to secure this medal is to for-ward the discharge to the Victory Medal department, Aberdeen, S. D., or the Victory Medal Department, State Capitol Building, Pierre, S. D. and the office force on duty there will fill out the application, and re-turn it to the applicant for his sig-nature. The discharge will not leave the local office .So there is no uneasiness about its being lost." I hope that you will personally interest yourself so that the stu-dents, who are ex-service men, will secure the information as to how they may secure their medals. Sincerely yours, R. - E. Frith, Lt. Colonel, U. S. A., Retired. FREE SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE IN STATE CONTROLLED SCHOOLS N. N. I. S.

Tests appear in the Gregg writer each month. Tne purpose of the Order of Gregg Artists, which is known as the O. G. A., is to encourage the develop ment of skillful shorthand writing. Membership is granted to those whose notes show artistic merit. The notes must be "correct in theory, accurate in proportion and execu-tion, and free in movement." Twenty-four O. G. A. papers were sent in. All the papers fulfilled the requirements, making what is known as a 100% club. Douglas Cocking's paper was judged best in the group and he was awarded a silver O. G. A. pin. Papers were sent in by the follow-ing: Thelma Hanson, Louise Han-sen, Lea Galbraith, William Vetter, Vera Laverty, Edith Bebout, Doro-thy Scarborough, Ottelia Englund, Julia Samuelson, Mrytle Spilde, Agnes Gullikson, Laura Briscoe.

Winship) The National Council of Educa-tion should only consider large and vital educational problems, and the most vital of America's present ed-ucational problems is to eliminate all causes for a death grapple be-tween aristocratic and democratic ambitions in American education. Let present tendencies continue to develop antagonism and there will be at no distant day such a catas-trophe as has not been in America since the Civil War. The stage is already set. He is wilfully blind who does not see it. It is not a question of school men and women alone. It already in-volves Capital and Labor. Big busi-ness and big politics are organizing; it is already a race question and a religious question. It requires no considerable wit and no wisdom to see the classes that are arrayed with aristocracy and the masses that are arrayed with democracy. The Na-tional Council of Education should be big enough and broad enough to avoid being caught up by the fas-cinating charms of educational roy-alty and too staunch and strong to be caught by the under-tow that is so seductive when the cry of autocracy is raised. If aristocracy ever rules and reigns the public will be mere slaves, but if democracy becomes merely anti-aristocracy the world will go back to the autocracy of savagery. If for twenty-four hours the Ten Commandments should be absolutely (Continued on page 2) Women Athletes to Banquet Monday Night
