thirty years ago a few young men in a f western city formed a debating club and that every member of that club without exception became a distinguished cltlzei now that is a record so remarkable that it 6eems worth while to look for the explanation the- best families are supposed to have a black sheep the schools graduating men who become famous turn out a larger or smafier per centage of failures why did this de bating club result in a hundred per cent of successes one of the answers is thatit repre sented the ideals of the members them- ivcs in m a h ther is a b difference between the aspirations of the parents for their children and the as pirations of the children for themselves if a boys ideal is to be a common loafer his mothers dream of the achievement is not likely to be realized another point of interest is that it took care of a considerable part of their leisure the club meant not only meet ing at stated times but reading thinking exercising their brains struggling with problem outside their daily routine it is the use of lelsurenat makes or breaks you young people and those of you who have the grit to give a generous share of your leisure to activities of this sort are pretty sure to be heard from later when every member of a debating club made up of hardworking young men achieves distinction in a quarter of a century you may be sure it is not an accident
