| Summary | "Debating for Boys" by William Horton Foster is a practical guide on the art of debate aimed at younger audiences, written in the early 20th century. The book emphasizes the importance of debating skills, not only for competitive purposes but also as a means for personal development, equipping boys with the tools to articulate their thoughts clearly and logically. Through structured chapters, it covers foundational principles of debate, including preparing arguments, organizing thoughts, and improving delivery. The opening of the book introduces the premise that debating is not just a contest, but a vital skill that prepares boys for future responsibilities and enhances their everyday communication. Foster lays the groundwork for why debating matters, explaining its role in fostering self-control, logical reasoning, and effective speaking. He highlights how debating serves as a preparatory exercise for engaging in more significant discussions in later life, advocating for boys to hone their reasoning abilities and remain committed to the pursuit of truth over mere victory in arguments.
