Women Students' Debating Society.

The annual meeting of the Society was held in the Women's Common Room, on 5th April, and the expectations of a successful session then expressed in the annual report, have so far been realised. Three debates have been held, and the attendance at each has been good. Quite a number of new speakers have taken part, and the debating generally has been keen and to the point. At the first meeting of the Society, Miss Ross, seconded by Miss Dowling, moved that "The women students of Victoria College do not make the best use of the opportunities offered by the University training." Miss Tolley, seconded by Miss Isaac, opposed. Six other members spoke.

The second meeting took the form of an impromptu debate. Miss Heine, seconded by Miss Nicholls, moved. "That the study of poetry yields greater benefit than the study of history." Miss Hursthouse and Miss Tolley opposed the motion. At the third debate. Miss Casey, seconded by Miss North, moved that "The immigration of Chinese and Japanese into British dependencies should be prohibited. Miss Jenkins and Miss Ross opposed. Three other speakers also took part. We sincerely thank Miss Beatrice Richmond and Mr. Fair, who have helped our Society by judging at the debates.
