IL Takes Time Now how are peo-
to Correct Faults pie to break them
OF Enuncinfion. selves of faulty
enunciation? Simply
by taking time. In this country we
are encouraged to do things In
hurry. To be busy that Is. to be
rushed, has been so long an ideal
with us that even II we really aren't
busy we have acquired the habit of
doing things in a busy way--that Is,
hurried way. We attend to trihes
hurriedly. We even speak hurrietly
when we have plenty OF time. More
over, IL is so credible in the general
estimation TO seem busy that many
people with plenty of leisure pretend
to be busy and dishonesty say they
are busy. and act as If they were busy,
and talk with the breathless hurry
OF people rushed to death. 1t Is very
curious. this ideal of seeming to be
rushed as IL II were good in itself
and not misfortune. a state to be
guarded against both for ones own
comfort and for the sake OF not an

mental and physical qualities, must be
recognized az an Ideal before as a

is going on In our minds nd to ex-
press 1t in clear speech. SO II we
decide to try to speak well, we must
accept this ideal and relax from the
tension with which most of us hold
ourselves. When We express ourselves
we shall then express. not a hurried
or an haiassed being, but a nature
calm and rational, Instantly many OF
our faults of diction Will straighten
themselves out. and we shall find our
task of elear-spetking astonishingly
lightened.--John ID. Barry. In Harp
