THE MAKING OF ARGUMENTS

By John Hays Gardiner, late of Harvard University

A brief course in argumentation to meet the needs of the future average citizen rather than of the few who go on to law or political life. The examples used throughout the book and the exercises and questions suggested for argument are drawn from matters in which young people from eighteen to twenty-two have a natural, lively interest and which they argue about in real life. The aim of the book is to develop habits of analysis and effective presentation of facts which will serve the student in the practical concerns of later life. 290 pages

THE PRINCIPLES OF ARGUMENTATION

(Revised and Enlarged Edition)

By George P. Baker, Harvard University, and H. B. Huntington, Brown University

This book holds an established place as one of the standard textbooks in the subject. Fundamental matters of analytical investigation, sifting of evidence, brief-drawing, and persuasive adaptation are clearly illustrated by numerous extracts and are made teachable by varied practical exercises. The book as a whole develops intellectual power and avoids that "predigested" argumentative material which enables a student easily to remember—and surely to forget—"how to argue." 677 pages

ORAL ENGLISH

By John M. Brewer, Los Angeles State Normal School

This textbook treats oral English as a subject independent both of literature and of written composition. It furnishes the student brief directions, detailed exercises, and suggestive lists of topics of every-day interest which will provide material for doing with conscious direction of thought the things which unconsciously are done in the pursuit of every other study—arguing, explaining, and telling. It embodies the latest ideas in the teaching of this subject by substituting for imitation of masterpieces of eloquence a direct and effective way of speaking without unnecessary adornment, more fitted to be of practical use to men and women of to-day. 396 pages

ELEMENTS OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

By Harry Garfield Houghton, University of Wisconsin xi + 333 pages

This textbook aims to teach the student,

First, how to organize his subject matter into clear and logical form for purposes of public utterance.

Second, how to cultivate his powers of expression so as to enable him to convey his ideas most effectively.

The book combines a definite amount of accurately expressed theory with a maximum of practice. Special emphasis has been laid upon clear and accurate thinking as the foundation for all expression, and each principle has been treated in its relation thereto.

The book, while intended primarily for college courses, will also prove valuable in classes in practical speaking in preparatory schools, as an aid in declamatory work (for this purpose Chapter II, The Conversational Mode, and Appendix II, Declamation, are particularly useful), and as a reference book.

THE BRIEF-MAKER'S NOTEBOOK

By Warren C. Shaw, Dartmouth College vii + 240 pages, in Biflex Binder

"The Brief-Maker's Notebook" presents a logical system for analyzing debaters' propositions and supplies a blank form of brief based upon this system. It is devised to accomplish several aims:

1. To enable the debater to use a loose-leaf system of note-taking.

2. To help him to investigate details of his case without losing his grip upon the problem as a whole.

3. To enable him to write a brief directly from his notes without rearranging the material.

4. To crystallize his methods of analysis.

5. To apply the theory of argumentation in the preparation of a debate and to develop thoroughness and accuracy.

The material consists of sets of forty pages each. Each set is designed for the complete handling of one proposition.
