San Francisco Debates on Evolution, The / Nichol, Francis D / (PB/1925-1925/C/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is free of marking, is intact, but fragile due to spine loosening.*

Reports of two debates on evolution in San Francisco, June 13 and 14, 1925. The debates were between Dr. Maynard Shipley, president of the Science League of America, and Francis D. Nichol and Alonzo L. Baker, editors "Signs of the Times." Both sides reported verbatim in the book.

First debate was on the question of whether evolution is a scientific fact; the second, as to whether or not it should be taught in tax-supported schools--thus covering the scientific, moral, and religious aspects of evolution.

This book gives the four main speeches (one hour each) and four rebuttals (fifteen minutes each).
