PUBLIC SPEAKING By

CLARENCE STRATTON Director of English, Cleveland High Schools

This new high-school textbook departs from the traditional. It is not an "elocution" book. Committing to memory and then reciting is not the basis of the pupil's work. Effective self-expression is the main objective in the course. The principles of composition receive attention as well as the art of declamation.

Here are the Chapter Headings:

I. Speech II. The Voice

III. Words and Sentences IV. Beginning the Speech V. Concluding the Speech

VI. Getting Material VII. Planning the Speech

VIII. Making the Outline or Brief IX. Explaining X. Proving and Persuading

XI. Refuting XII. Debating

XIII. Speaking upon Special Occasions XIV. Dramatics

The one room rural school cannot do the work of a well equipped High School. Neither can a man and a girl and a typewriter conduct a modern, efficient Educational Bureau for teachers.

Last season we were officially requested to furnish seven thousand Western Reference Teachers for schools in forty-four States

and three foreign countries. Our tenth year of recommending only when asked to do so. This is why the English Teachers we recommend are usually chosen. They are wanted. Free enrollment. Commission payable out of first and second months salary. Write today for STEPPING UPWARD. It is free.

We speak a hundred times as often as we write The very frequency with which we speak argues that speaking

should receive even more attention than writing.

Effective Expression By CHARLES ELBERT RHODES

places special emphasis on oral composition

This new volume is more than a rhetoric; it is an interpretation of all forms of oral and written self-expression. It gives a new in- centive to the pupil which makes him look upon the subject as a direct challenge to all his powers of brain and heart. It works!

DISCUSS IMMIGRATION WITH CONGRESS Outline Study on Immigration and Americaniza-

tion, by E. W. LOUGHRAN and M. R. MADDEN, takes for the question: Resolved: That legislation to restrict immigration into the United States is impractical, in- jurious to the industrial development of the country, and unnecessary.

The issues of debate: I. Is it possible to get a good practical restric-

tive test ? II. If such a test can be found, would it be for

the economic good of the country ? III. Is the country unable to assimilate immigra-

tion arriving at the normal rate ? It is an unbiased study made for school work, with

page references on each point of debate. Price 40 cents. Stamps not accepted.

Story, Essay, and Verse has proved a refreshing departure from the conventional selections found in the average collection of high-school and college readings, and it is now being used as a class text in the English departments of many high standard schools. A competent critic, who is also Head of the English Department in one of the large eastern high schools, says:

"When I read 'Story, Essay, and Verse,' I found it so interesting that I forgot all about its being a textbook. It combines delight and instruction in a remarkable way. There is so much inspiration and profit in it, added to interest of plot, style, and structure, that it should prove a delight to teach. In fact, it will teach itself."

Teachers who are preparing students for college-entrance examina- tions will find STORY, ESSAY, AND VERSE a valuable book to place in the hands of all such students.

The pursuit of happiness is the end of man-

so some of the world's greatest philosphers have said. "Give a man this taste (for reading) and the means of grati- fying it, and you can scarcely fail of making him a happy man."-Sir John Herschel. To inculcate and cultivate this taste is the aim of all English courses.

The Standard English Classics Series

is what the name implies-a selection of the best English classics, presented in an attractive and inviting form. They have the triple advantage of being carefully edited, me- chanically excellent, and reasonable in price. This series contains, with a few exceptions, all the titles on the College Entrance Requirements list in English.

Both are Sothern and Marlowe When you hear the Sothern-Marlowe Victor Records you hear the

true expression of the art that has enthralled America and England, precisely as they have given it to thousands of their delighted audiences.

Incomparable Victor recordings now make that mastery of art the world's heritage forever. The Edwin Booths and Coquelins are nqw mere traditions. The work of these great artists of to-day will live always,-matchless models of interpretation for Teachers and Students of English Literature, the Drama, and Elocution; Shakespeare and Literary Clubs; Lawyers, Judges and all persons interested in the Cultural Arts.
