Excerpt from How to Debate
American education is the revival and spread of the practice of debate in our schools and colleges. The debt of England to the numerous debating societies of Oxford and Cambridge has long been recognized, most Of that country's distinguished orators and statesmen having received their first training in these societies. In America, within the past ten or fifteen years, there has come, in and out of the schools and colleges, a noteworthy re vival of the old-time debating lyceum. Inter scholastic athletics have been paralleled by intel lectual athletics in the form of interscholastic debates.

Excerpt from How to Debate
This book treats of the various ways of convincing and persuading men. While intended as a textbook for schools and colleges, it is also adapted to the needs of the lawyer, the preacher, the teacher, the citizen; in short, to anyone who is called upon - as who is not? - to urge the acceptance of his ideas upon a hearer, or to refute ideas offered in opposition thereto.
In our schools and colleges the value of argumentation as an independent branch of study is now generally recognized. But numerous as are the treatises on argumentation, the subject of debate is usually treated in a single chapter, or not at all. This book aims to meet the needs not only of the expert in argumentation, but also of the practical debater. The average citizen is called upon to argue orally far oftener than he is required to present a written argument; and of what avail is his knowledge and logic if they cannot be utilized in the discussions of every-day life? However, any attempt to teach debate in a thorough and systematic manner must involve the study of argumentation generally, and this, in turn, involves practice in writing and argumentative composition. A treatise on debate, therefore, must include the subject of argumentation in all its phases, - analysis, evidence, proof, the different kinds of arguments and how to meet them.
