Taken as a whole it seems better calculated to pick the best men with fairness and accuracy than the old method.

Then again a five minute speech in offering little opportunity for rebuttal does not furnish a true criterion of argumentative power. By providing for more than one preliminary trial if the number of contestants is large, the new regulations insure adequate trial to every promising debater...
