WE would advise all who can spare the time every second Thursday, between 2 and 5 P.M., to attend the debates in English 6. Much can be learned there, not only by those wishing to become good debaters, but by all who seek that peculiar kind of improvement which, for want of a better name, is called "general culture." Great as the advantage is of listening to the speeches of four well-prepared disputants, it is small in comparison with the advantage of learning sound lessons in tact and acuteness from an instructor who has made these subjects a life study. To deliver just opinions not only on the merits of the disputants, but also on their defects, without regard to the persons criticised, is a task few can accomplish with success. The instructor in English 6 is one of these few. Severe as his criticism often is, it is always just, and it is told in such a manner that the person criticised, unless over-sensitive, cannot but feel grateful for it.
