McQuigg calls the national convention of the American Legion to order at Philadel- phia next fall it is expected that the goal of 1,000,000 members, 60,000 of them from Illinois, will have been re- alized. In Cook county an intensive effort to co-operate in this aim is being made by Legion chiefs under the di- rection of Claude I. Foubare, Junior Vice-Commander of the Department of Illinois. Scott W. Lucas, Commander of the Department of Illinois, sounds the key- note of the campaign in the following statement : "When John R. McQuigg was elected national commander of the American Legion at Omaha last October he im- mediately conveyed a message to all Legion state departments requesting that they inform the various Legion- naries throughout their respective States, to dissipate their 1926 energy in selling the Legion to those on the outside who are eligible but for various reasons remained without the gates. The Commander's goal is to record 1,000,000 members when the Adjutant calls the roll at the national convention in Philadelphia, and we in Illinois have been assigned a quota of some 60,000 for the present year. More Members Here "The Department of Illinois has for sometime past realized the necessity of stopping the leak in the membership dike, and last year, under the leadership of Howard P. Savage, we moved for- ward a few points. "The American Legion in the State of Illinois has 6,000 more members than it had one year ago today, and the chief reason for this increase is a bet- ter understanding and a truer realiza- tion by executive committeemen, post commanders, and adjutants, and other thoughtful Legionnaries, as to what the American Legion is doing in a con- structive way. 2 "Men are growing older each day. They are more ready to co-operate and look at larger problems in a versatile and unselfish way, and the old breach between Cook County and Down- State has gradually disappeared until the time has arrived when harmony prevails almost everywhere, and after seven years of youthful experience in an organization that represents a cross- section of everything worth while in American today, I am firmly convinced that the time has arrived when the American Legion will go forward year after year and increase its member- ship." Local Youth on Winning Harvard Debating Team D. W. Chapman, of Wilmette, a junior in Harvard college, was a mem- ber of the debating team which defeat- ed the Princeton debaters at Prince- ton recently, The clash was the last of the Harvard-Princeton triangular series, in which Harvard had already defeated Yale. The question, "Resolved, that edu- cation is the curse of the modern age," was treated with considerable humor both by Chapman and his colleagues and their opponents. Chapman argued that "education hardens the mind, thickens the skull, and makes us un- comfortable within and unbearable without." Chapman is president of the Harvard Debating Council and an active member of Delta Sigma Rho, a debating fraternity.
