March 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Forum Will Debate Military Training in Schools Issue A debate on the question, "Resolved : that Military Training in schools and colleges should be abolished," will be the program at the Chicago Forum in the Olympic theatre, Sunday afternoon, March 21. President Irving Maurer of Beloit college will uphold the affirm- ative and Frank Comerford, eminent Chicago attorney, will speak for the negative. President Maurer is a prom- inent Congregational minister, formerly pastor of President and Mrs. Coolidge. He was one of the endorsers of the recent widely circulated pamphlet con- demning military training in schools and colleges. Mr. Comerford was high in the counsels of the military in- telligence service during the war and is well known for his forensic abilities. The debate features an issue that is receiving much attention at the present time. The Cleveland Board of Edu- cation has recently voted to abolish military traininfg in the high schools of Cleveland and the students of sever- al colleges and uinversities have given preponderant votes against such train- ing. On the other hand there is much public opinion in favor of continuing and extending it. A feature of the debate will be the use of the English polling system whereby the audience votes on the question before and after the debate, thus giving opportunity of determining the effectiveness of the debaters.
