The increasing number of such +manuals and the frequent requests for material on debates made it seem +desirable to combine in one list the indexes to all the manuals, thus +bringing references to all the material on one subject together and +saving the time required to consult the index of each book. The card +index has been so useful here that it has been printed, in the hope that +it may also be useful elsewhere. Under each subject are given the +proposition for debate, page references to the manuals, and a note +indicating the material to be found there, whether briefs, references, +specimen debates or synopses of debates. + +The "Debates" of this Library, included in the list of books indexed, is +a loose-leaf book containing briefs and references copied from various +sources or supplementing lists to be found elsewhere. The Carnegie +Library "Reference lists" referred to are less complete manuscript lists +compiled in response to requests. + +One hundred new references have been added in this edition. Twenty-four +of these are on new topics and seventy-six are additional references on +topics included in the first edition. New cross references have also +been included when necessary. The new books indexed are Robbins's "High +school debate book," the "Debaters' handbook series" and the new edition +of Askew's "Pros and cons," also the numbers of the "Speaker" and of the +"Bulletin" of the University of Wisconsin issued in the sixteen months +since the first edition of this index was published. + +_November 1, 1912._ + + + + +=Debate Index= + +=Books Indexed= + + +=Alden,= Raymond Macdonald. =808.5 A35= + + *Art of debate. 1900. + + Bibliography, p. 8. + + _The same._ 1900. =r 808.5 A35= + + Based largely on material originally prepared for students of + argumentation at Harvard University and the University of + Pennsylvania. + +=Askew,= John Bertram. =r 028 A83= + + Pros and cons; a newspaper reader's and debater's guide to + the leading controversies of the day, political, social, + religious, etc.; ed. by A.M.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States.

The +increasing number of such manuals and the frequent requests +for material on debates made it seem desirable to combine in +one list the indexes to all the manuals, thus bringing references +to all the material on one subject together and saving the time +required to consult the index of each book. The card index +has been so useful here that it has been printed, in the hope +that it may also be useful elsewhere. Under each subject are +given the proposition for debate, page references to the manuals, +and a note indicating the material to be found there, whether +briefs, references, specimen debates or synopses of debates.</p> + +<p>The "Debates" of this Library, included in the list of books +indexed, is a loose-leaf book containing briefs and references +copied from various sources or supplementing lists to be found +elsewhere. The Carnegie Library "Reference lists" referred +to are less complete manuscript lists compiled in response to +requests.</p> + +<p>One hundred new references have been added in this edition. +Twenty-four of these are on new topics and seventy-six +are additional references on topics included in the first edition. +New cross references have also been included when necessary. +The new books indexed are Robbins's "High school debate +book," the "Debaters' handbook series" and the new edition of +Askew's "Pros and cons," also the numbers of the "Speaker" +and of the "Bulletin" of the University of Wisconsin issued +in the sixteen months since the first edition of this index was +published.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span></p><p><i>November 1, 1912.</i></p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="Debate_Index" id="Debate_Index"></a><b>Debate Index</b></h2> + +<p class='center'><b>Books Indexed</b></p> + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary=""> +<tr><td align='left'><b>Alden,</b> Raymond Macdonald.</td><td align='left'><b>808.5 A35</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>*Art of debate. 1900.</td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>Bibliography, p. 8.</td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'><i>The same.</i> 1900.</td><td align='left'><b>r 808.5 A35</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>Based largely on material originally prepared for students of argumentation at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania.</td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'><b>Askew,</b> John Bertram.</td><td align='left'><b>r 028 A83</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>Pros and cons; a newspaper reader's and debater's guide to the leading controversies of the day, political, social, religious, etc.; ed. by A.M.

The increasing number of such +manuals and the frequent requests for material on debates made it seem +desirable to combine in one list the indexes to all the manuals, thus +bringing references to all the material on one subject together and +saving the time required to consult the index of each book. The card +index has been so useful here that it has been printed, in the hope that +it may also be useful elsewhere. Under each subject are given the +proposition for debate, page references to the manuals, and a note +indicating the material to be found there, whether briefs, references, +specimen debates or synopses of debates. + +The "Debates" of this Library, included in the list of books indexed, is +a loose-leaf book containing briefs and references copied from various +sources or supplementing lists to be found elsewhere. The Carnegie +Library "Reference lists" referred to are less complete manuscript lists +compiled in response to requests. + +One hundred new references have been added in this edition. Twenty-four +of these are on new topics and seventy-six are additional references on +topics included in the first edition. New cross references have also +been included when necessary. The new books indexed are Robbins's "High +school debate book," the "Debaters' handbook series" and the new edition +of Askew's "Pros and cons," also the numbers of the "Speaker" and of the +"Bulletin" of the University of Wisconsin issued in the sixteen months +since the first edition of this index was published. + +_November 1, 1912._ + + + + +=Debate Index= + +=Books Indexed= + + +=Alden,= Raymond Macdonald. =808.5 A35= + + *Art of debate. 1900. + + Bibliography, p. 8. + + _The same._ 1900. =r 808.5 A35= + + Based largely on material originally prepared for students of + argumentation at Harvard University and the University of + Pennsylvania. + +=Askew,= John Bertram. =r 028 A83= + + Pros and cons; a newspaper reader's and debater's guide to + the leading controversies of the day, political, social, + religious, etc.; ed. by A.M.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + diff --git a/18347.zip b/18347.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2c09aa2 --- /dev/null +++ b/18347.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
