PUBLIC SPEAKING.
And the Necessity For cultivating the
Art Of Enunciation.

Speaking is one of those arts which
people seem 10 think are unnecessary
10 study and learn. and the probability
Is that most speakers OF the kind men
toned are blissfully unaware OF theii
lnaudibllty. Doubtless their voice re
sounds comfortably in the empty
spaces OF their own chest and head
and this prevents them from knowing
that II does not penetrate to the audi
tory apparatus Of other people.
To be n lecturer II Is not only neces.
sary 10 know your subject, but the art
OF enuncintion and audible delivery
needs to be learned also. And the
sound of ones voice In ones own ears
is n most misleading guide Such peo.
Pile ought to be trained by being made
to read or speak from one end of a
large room TO somebody teaching them
at the other end. when they would soon
find out that tones which will pass
muster In a conversation are useless In
a public speech.
In conversation we carelessly slur half
our syllables. leaving our interlocutor
to guess them from the context. but
this will not do In public speech,
where people are too far Off to catch
the signs. Again. word pronounced
in the ordinary English way-of throw
ing strong accent on a single syllable
and slurring the other syllabIes-be
comes reduced to mere monosyllable
when said in that manner In a large
m.-Theosophical Path.

CLAIMING $4,000 DAMAGES
Charles H. Steere Is Suing the American
Wooden Company.

Burlington, Oct. lG.-Thc case Of
Charles II. Steere VS. the American Wool.
en- company was begun in Chittenden
county court yesterday afternoon. The
plaintiff claims damages of $4,000 for
injuries received while he was in the
companys employ, alleging negligence,
Considerable time was occupied in call
ing a jury. The plaintiff is represented
BY Fuller e. Smith of St Adams and
the defendant by +. II. O'Brien OF Rut-
land and r. i. Brown of Burlington.
Mr.. Steere claims that on the 18th day
of September, 1911, he was a helper in
the boiler room at the mills, when it be-
came necessary to repair valve. He
assembled staging to assist the steam
filter, who was doing the work, when
steam suddenly rushed from the valve
and struck MIN, soalding him badly and
causing him to fall. He struck some coal
in his descent and was badly bruised
and otherwise injured, he claims, result
ing in long confinement in bed and per-
manent disability. Negligence on the
part of the American Wooden company
is charged because the valve was defec- !
tive, it is alleged, and the plaintiff had
no knowledge that steam was TO
come from it.

STATE HoRTIcULTURALISTS.
Annual Meeting to Be Held at Middle
bury in November.

The annual meeting and exhibition oil
the Vermont State Horticultural society
viii be held in Middlebury November TO-
20 and 81. Plans are nearly completed
for an unusually large meeting of the
fruit growers and judging from the
quality of the crop and the very great
interest in fruit growing, this will be one
OF the largest meetings in the history of
the society. The meeting this year will
be held in the heart of one of the great
est fruit growing counties of Vermont,
and it is expected that the exhibition
this year will be veritable feast for
the eye. In view of the close relation
of the bees and fruit, it has been decided
to have the bee-keepers antedate by one
day the fruit growers meeting so that
people who have vital interest in both
lines of industry may take advantage of
the two meetings. A number of out-of-
state men prominent in horticulture
have been engaged, and a good program
IS assured.
