The superiority of wom- en as housekeepers and inserving us Red Cros nurses during the war were undeniable facts. The great works accomplished in science by Madame Curie. There are more boys attending our public schools than girls, but there are more dip- lomas given annually to girls than to boys.

The "Con” side made a strong impression in favorot‘ the mental abilities of men. in all walks of llife men have taken a leading part By referring to Lloyd George while Premier of England they proved that no woman could have carried out so successfully such an inli portant work as did England's war premier. In the banks, women do not hold positions oi‘ importance.

The rebuttals were interesting; some of the arguments were ques- tioned -by the leader.

The vote resulted in a victory for the “Pro" side. The critic gave an interesting tnlk on the debate.
