Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Debater's Treasury The question is often asked, Can the art of debate be cultivated? To this question we reply, it certainly can. Natural qualities furnish the foundation in this art as well as in any other, but skill comes through rightly directed practice. This treatise gives a few simple directions to help the novice into the right path, but he must rely upon the facility only to be acquired through long practice. A long list of questions is given, suitable for discussion, which will be useful in schools and in debating societies. When a question is to be selected for a coming debate it will hardly be possible to read over a list so varied as this without either finding what is wanted or a sug gestion of an acceptable topic.
