Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Semi-Centennial of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates in Ill, Vol. 1: 1858-1908, Circular of Suggestions for School Celebrations The year 1908 witnesses the semi-centennial anniversary of the memorable debate between Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln for the vacant United States Senatorship from Illinois; but in reality the prize was larger because each became a candidate for the presidency two years later. Under the direction of the Illinois Historical Society, celebrations will be held this year in each of the seven places where the debates took place and on the exact day, viz: Ottawa, August 21; Freeport, August 27; Jonesboro, Sept. 15; Charleston, Sept. 18; Galesburg, Oct.7; Quincy, Oct. 13; Alton, Oct. 15. Public attention will thus be drawn to this important event in Illinois history, and the time seems suited to a study of the debates, their origin and results, and the topics they mainly discussed. While the debates belong properly to local history, in their results they became a part of national history. To devote one or more days of the present year to a study of the debates and the debaters would seem to be time well spent. It was not the purpose of the compilers of this pamphlet to make programs for celebrating special days, but to furnish materials from which programs could be made. Only such selections as bear directly on the debates have been included, with possibly one or two exceptions. The literature on both Lincoln and Douglas is voluminous and can be drawn upon at will to supplant the material here given. Teachers can arrange the selections in this pamphlet as readings or recitations or songs in many ways to make up an attractive program for an afternoon. Some of the descriptions lend themselves naturally for readings by the teacher to the pupils, with such explanations as will make the scenes intelligible to the youthful imagination. For additional matter bearing on the debates, consult the list of books printed in this pamphlet. The list is not intended to be exhaustive, but such volumes have been selected as are likely to be had in any community. If this booklet proves serviceable to the teachers of the State, the compilers will be compensated for their labor of love.
