M. M. FOGG 15 LEAGUE F University Professor Organized State Debating League in 1908 ? The Nebraska High School Debat ing League was organized in 1903 by Prof. M. M. Fogg at the request of schoolmen of the state. It started with thirty schools, and soon grew .o about one hvndred. Several states have modeled leagues on Nebraska's. Thh year over a hundred debates have been held in eleven districts cn the c.iurtion of the closed-open shot. To aid schools with limited library facilities, abstracts, compiled under the direction of the league president, were made of seventy-five authorita tive books and articles on the closed shop question and furnished at cost through the Debating and Public Dis cussion Bureau of the University Ex tension Division. Soon after the league started teachers organized the Argumentation Section of the State Teachers Asso ciation for discussion of questions re lating to the secondary-school teach ing of argumentative composition and oral discussion.
