Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Live Questions for Debate: For the Schools of California Some weeks ago a stranger entered our office in Sacramento and introduced himself as the principal of the Gridley High School, in Butte County. He explained that he was very much interested in debating, and had prepared a list of Questions for Debate, suitable to the various grades of the public schools. This list, he thought, would be of service to the teachers and the young people of the State, and he had come to see if it could not be printed at cost, so that he could afford to send it out to the schools at his own expense. At this point I examined him attentively to see if he were in his right mind or merely a millionaire in disguise. He seemed quite rational, however, and showed no symptoms of millions. He was a teacher, unselfishly anxious to help his fellows, and willing to spend some money to do it. His manuscript is just what many people have desired. It fills a long felt want. Therefore, it is sent out in this way (without expense to him) for the teachers of the high school and the upper grammar grades, with the hope that it may be usable and that it may be used. For, look you here. These young people that we are sending out to battle can no longer use the cross-bow or the long spear, nor even the short sword or the rifle. Yet they must fight against wrong and defend the right and take care of themselves and protect those who depend upon them. And their real weapons are just Words. They are to be citizens in a government of the People. They must meet with their fellows, they must decide public questions, they must express their thoughts, their feelings, their intentions. They must use Words. Their prosperity and power depend upon how they use them. Let us help them to some familiarity with these, their weapons, while they are yet in school and within reach of help. By all means, let us encourage our boys and girls in the use of Words and build them up in Debate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
