Written by Carroll Pollock Lahman, this comprehensive manual serves as a foundational resource for organizing and managing forensic programs within schools and colleges.

It offers structured methodologies for judging contests, coaching individual speakers, and coordinating interscholastic tournaments. Designed to support both the novice instructor and the seasoned coach, Debate Coaching, a Handbook for Teachers and Coaches remains a significant historical document in the field of speech education, reflecting the rigorous standards of mid-20th-century rhetoric and public speaking instruction. Its clear and methodical approach ensures that the fundamental principles of persuasive communication and logical reasoning are accessible to all levels of academic competition.
