the business of being a representative or a senator this man said aid that it was shocking how very little legislators know concerning the laws of their state and country lie he said it was even more shocking to learn leam that women knew practically nothing about their government he affirmed that supposedly intelligent men and women knew nothing about how to proceed to give drafts of laws or amendments in a form that could be even understood that they the slightest conception of how laws are made or are operated such a situation suggests the necessity of the citizens at large making a study of the government of their national and state constitutions nothing would give students of high school a better opportunity than the oratorical contest on the constitution while the objective Is to create a winning oration it Is also a most opportune time to study that document which has made the united states the great nation that she Is today it is a time to learn what law means how it ts Is made why it Is necessary to have law and why we must be obedient citizens it Is a time to build a code of citizenship that will keep america preeminent pre eminent among the nations of the world may it not be said of the oncoming generations when they are required to be legislators congressmen or other officials that they know nothing about law that their ideals are mercenary entering the oratorical contest in the right sp spirit I 1 rit then means much more than winn winning ing the oration it means a superlative government operated by intelligent and loyal citizens be hundred per cent americans right now students by making a thorough study of the constitution of the united states make your oration mean something to you to your city and to your I 1 nation 0 0 DEB DEBITING TING
