A Girls Debating Club.

Women now speak in public almost
as frequently as men. There is need.
therefore for every country girl to
learn how to stand up gracefully and
express herself easily and readily in an
audience. even if the audience consist
only of her own girl friends. A girls
neignborhoOd debating club will I'M
prove its members in general intelli
gence and fluency and elegance Of ex-
preston almost more than any other
agency. A president. secretary and
critic are all the officers needed In the
debating club. A small book on par
liamentary usage can be had cheaply
as a guide to the correct conduct Of
meetings. Then let every girl read a
good newspaper regularly to find out
what Is going on in the world. 1t Is
better to discuss in the club questions
Of general public interest. Under no
circumstances should debater be al
lowed to read her speech. Notes may
be referred to, but that Is all.
