THE SWISS SYSTEM.

The list of debating subjects give some indication of how rapidly public opinion changes under constant agitation. A year age the question that was debated, not only in the triangular debates, but elsewhere, was whether we should increase our military and naval forces at all. Today the question everyone is discussing is not, "Shall we prepare?" but "How shall we prepare?" The University has answered in a way by forming the regiment and the aero corps.

Even as yet in ordinary discussion, the Swiss system is either little more than a name or is so distorted that the Swiss would not recognize it. The debate will present the carefully sifted essentials of the question, with the strong points emphasized and the weak points mercilessly attacked.
