PUBLIC SPEAKING COURSE
By C. C. Lewis
In this connection, I am pleased to announce that my experience in writing the first ten lessons of the Public Speaking Course has convinced me that the subject can be satisfactorily presented in twenty lessons, instead of forty, as announced in our last calendar, thus reducing the tuition from $14.00 to $7.00. The books upon which these lessons are based, Phillips's "Effective Speaking" and "Drills in Expression," are the best I have ever used or seen. There is more to effective preaching than "swinging the arms and hollering." That can be acquired without assistance. But to understand and apply the fundamental principles that underlie effective speaking is a more important matter, requiring earnest study. In this study, I am sure I can help you, by means of the textbooks, the lessons of instruction and direction, and the personal correspondence that will grow out of these. A number of persons are now pursuing these lessons, and many more ought to begin them at once. Address C. C. Lewis, Principal Fireside Correspondence School, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
