Excerpt from Public Discussion and Debate This revision holds to the general purpose and emphasis of the first edition, which attempts to restate familiar argumentative principles in terms of present-day speech, logic, and psychology. Later research in the field of discussion and debate, however, and the improvement of techniques in the teaching of this sub j ect, have naturally led to important modifications and additions in the text. This second edition should be more useful to the student than the first one. Those teachers familiar with the older book will note that this new version further strengthens the character of the book as a text on discussion as contrasted with technical debate. Contest debating is not neglected; on the contrary, it is represented in a fresh chapter. New chapters, however, on special types of debate, radio debating and discussion, and committee and public discussion equip the student for proficiency in wider applications of persuasive speaking, and especially in cooperative thinking. Speech educators incline more and more to committee and panel discussion as an agency for the promotion of open - mindedness. The assumption of both editions is that intelligent discussion is the ally of free government. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
