The course OF study Is very prac-
tiCal. having as its idea the teaching
OF men TO think on their feet, and
to express their thoughts in the best
possible way. The similarity between
public speaking and salesmanship
Is kept in mind always and an at

pecial call for this course from men
who are Four Minute men and men
