There never has been such a lack of speakers in the New York labor | movement as is felt at the present time. The long series of str: the Passaic textile strike, the furriers’ strike, the International Ladies’ Gar- ment Workers’ strike and a series of lesser labor battles, such as those of the I, R.

Thus those wishing to register for public speaking must also take such @ course as fundamentals of Commu- nism, or work in the trade unions, or American economic and political history, or a similar additional course. How to Make It Short. This course in public speaking is primarily for beginners. How to pre- pare a talk, overcome nervousness, correct gestures and delivery, how to act as chairman, how to make an open air talk, how-to deliver .your message in 15 minutes—these are some of the problems taken up. The students criticize each other, are taught how to arrange their subject ___™matter and siso given instruction on what to use for material and practice. Ode does not have to be a born orator. However, the student must be able to jspeak English fluently and without a Those who have} never made a speech before are espe- cially invited. This course starts next week.
