The Affirmative and the Negative of the Questions Of The Day in the form of Complete Debates CLOTH-Price $1.50 Postpaid—TWELVEMO Something new, something practical, something up-to-date. A book that exactly fits into these last years of this wonderful last decade of the passing century. Besides giving complete directions for the organization and the conduct of Debating Societies in accordance with parliamentary procedure, this book in many of its debates presents the speakers as actually addressing their hearers from the floor,' each speaker in turn with his arguments the first speakers for the affirmative and the negative in turn; then the second speakers in turn; in some cases, the third speakers; and then the summing up by the leaders. The array of arguments thus marshalled constitutes an intelligent and intelligible statement of every principle and every fact affecting the questions debated, thus providing not only an exhaustive study of each question enabling a thorough mastery of it for knowledge sake, but also furnishing a thoroughly instructive and decidedly lively and entertaining program for an evening' pleasure and profit. Among the important topics discussed are the following: Government Control. Our Foreign Policy. The Tariff. The Currency Question. And many others. Immigration. Postage. Our Commercial Policy. There is also a list of "questions" suitable for debate, several of which are "briefly outlined," to assist the student to prepare and to deliver his own "effort." Essays and orations, many of them suitable for commencement parts, Salutatory and Valedictory addresses, supplement the debates, the whole providing for the student at college and the high-school scholar, the parent at home, and the man of affairs, just that equipment that one needs not only for thinking out the questions that everybody is talking about, but for arguing them in a convincing manner.
