SEEING AND

Plans for some 300 conventions in st. Louis dur
Ing the Worlds Fair contradict the contention that
oratory has lost its usefulness. The printing press,
with its allied sciences and arts, has superseded
word of mouth In transmitting knowledge and in
formation; but, while it has trespassed upon the
field. direct speech is able to occupy a wider sphere
than it did when 1t was the one means of communi-
cation.
The world Of to-day is a yaster and more COM
plicated institution. Conditions are such that, for
certifying to events and statements, the book and
the newspaper are necessary. In a time like this
oratory could not be a monopoly without creating
wide confusion. For the spoken word Is a frolic-
some thing, which, through the process Of repeti-
ton, acquires a new style and q new meaning in
each transition.
The treasury Of knowledge and the surety Of
authority reside in the book. which Is a permanent
thing and an essential of modern life. 1t is to-
morrow what it Is to-day and in the West what it
is in the East, the North and the South. Ofatory
could not meet the larger requirements OF the pres
ent day.
But the speech OF man to man has not been
set aside. Never viii come q period when man wiz

ment hoped so: and yet even then there were many
evidences that he spoke the truth. The correctness Of
MS statement was not fully appreciated. however, until
the ueacnerous midnight attack at Port Arthur by
japanese torpedo-boats, whiie the Japanese Minister at
Petersburg was still enjoying the protection and the
the courtesies OF the Russian Government, to whom he
had only a short while before expressed the confident
hope that war might yet be ayerted.

not ike TO hear the notes of a voice, to see the play
OF facial expression, to feel the spell Of magnetic
personality and to imbibe the pleasing flow of we'll
stated thoughts. Never will man forget the interest
and emotional satisfaction which are associated
with meetings. There was, and is, and always will
be something fascinating in the congregation Of
people.
The 300 conventions which will be held In st.
Louis this year and the more which will be held IN
other cities Indicate the hold which the spoken word
retains in this century. And following them will
come the political campaigns. with their great meet
ings and the speeches of leading men of affairs.
Most of the objects which these conventions seek
TO attain could be realized by the circulation OF
pamphlets: but not all. And yet the convention
habit would not be abandoned. if. by the written
word. all of the objects sought and more were as
sured.
The many conventions scheduled for this year
not only attest TO the expansion of knowledge, bu;
they typify the sentimental aspect of a very prac-
teal age. There is n profound fervor about n PEG.
pie which shows such great interest in the spiritual
and mental and moral matters of life, and which
finds such keen enjoyment in assembling and ex-
changing views by rhe spoken word, as in the long
ago. upon a variety of topics. Oratory still has a
hallowed place In the progress of humanity.
