each 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.
