WORKERS SCHOOL
OFFERS COURSE IN
PUBLIC SPEAKING
BY BERT WOLFE,
Director of Workers School,
New York,

There never has been such a lack
of speakers in the New York labor
movement as is felt at the present
time. The long series of strikes-the
Passaic textile strike, the furriers
strike. the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers strike and a series of
lesser labor battles, such as those of
the l. R. 7. workers, the window clean
ers, the paper box makers, the shoe
workers and a score Of others-have
created a constant demand for speak
ers at strike and mass meetings, Both
the electoral campaign and the strike
meetings have suffered from this IN
precedented demand In order to in
crease the available supply of speak
ers the Workers School is offering
course in public speaking on Thurs
day nights at s p, m, with Carl Brod-
sky as the instructor.
Must Have Something to Say.
The dificulty in most public speak
ing courses has been that q speech
must have content and subject matter
and the average would-be speaker has
been weak in his preparation and
lacked the necessary training required
to prepare the subject matter for
good talk. In other words, it has been
speaking because 'he has to say some
thing" and not because "he has some
thing to say" The Workers School
is remedying this defect of the aver
age public speaking course by a novel
experiment which requires all those
who wish to take the public speaking
course to take some other content"
course offered by the school or to have
an equivalent Of previous training.
Thus those wishing to register for
public speaking must also take such
a course as fundamentals of Commu-
nism, or work in the trade unions,
or American economic and political
history, or a similar additional course.
How to Make It Short.
This course in public speaking is
primarily for beginners. How to pre-
pare a talk, overcome nervousness,
correct gestures and delivery, how to
act as chairman, how to make an
open air talk, how to deliver your
message in 10 minutes-these are
some of the problems taken up. The
students criticize each other, are
taught how to arrange their subject
matter and also given instruction on
what to use for material and practice.
one does not have to be born orator.
However, the student must be able to
speak English fuently and without a
marked accent. Those who have
never made a speech before are espe-
cially invited.
This course starts next week. Reg
lister any afternoon or evening at the
headquarters Of the Workers School,
room IS, 1OS East 14th street, New
York City.

Unique Method Used
to Teach English to
Finnish Party Members

BOSTON, Nov. II. - After three
attempts to get started, despite the
opposition Of bad weather, interfer-
ence of other affairs, and uncertainty
as to the most advisable meeting
night the class in Elementary English
for foreign-born party members and
sympathizers is under way at innish
Hall, 521 Cambridge ST., Allston.
The opening of the class, which en-
ioyed a very favorable measure Of sue
cess the previous year, had been
awaited eagerly by both Instructor
and students. Tho the class at present
is quite small, consisting of 10 com
rades, It opened with much enthus-
iasm
The instructor, AL Binch,, is not
himself Of Finnish extraction, as are
the great majority Of last years and
this years students, yet very un-
usual and interesting feature has been
the explaining Of words and their
usage in the Finnish tongue.
This is accomplished as follows
word, either unusually difficult or Of
extreme working class Significance
Gas "non-partisan," Legislature" "col-
liberation" etc. is encountered in
the days reading assignment. The IN
structor carefully explains the word,
giving its derivation, and other words,
If possible from the same root-form
Then a member Of the class is asked
to explain its meaning In Finnish.
Tho the instructor does not under
stand three words of that language, by
watching the faces of the members OF
the class, he, can judge whether the
given explanation is unanimously ac-
cepted. If not, the misunderstanding
are threshed out bi-lingually. When
unanimous agreement is reached
explanation in English, spelling, and
writing of the word on the blackboard
are in order.
This year in addition it is planned
to use the Elementary English out
line drawn up by the New York Work
ers' School,
AS it is not desirable to have these
classes too unwieldy, a larger attend
ance will necessitate the division into
several groups under separate instruc-
tors, following similar routine of
study.

even if he is capable of switching his
arguments with as much success as
the chameleon changes color. Honest
politics is out of place in capitalist
circles. The system is based on cor
ruption. But in the radical movement
honesty is not only the best policy for
labor, but in the long run for leaders.
-
HERE is a fine example of crooked
IL politics: In the primary contest
in Pennsylvania three candidates
sought the G. o. P. nomination for
United States senator. The three
spent 100000. The winner shed al
most a million to win. There was a
lot Of noise made about it and SILENT
Cal' was alleged to have frowned on
the practice of spending such unlim-
tied sums OF money for the purpose
Of buying seat in the United States
senate. Ware is the lad who was Sc
lected. Stick his name in your hat,
because you will hear more about him.
WARE and his gang control the city
of Philadelphia politically. Which
means that they control the city ma
chine and all the graft that goes with
it. The Mellon interests control Pitts
burgh and heavy industry. Pinchot
controls the government jobs, has the
support of the bootleggers in the min
ing regions and the anti-saloon and
Women's Christian Temperance
Leagues. They are all honest.
TT would never do for the G. o. P.
L factions to remain permanently on
the outs with each other so long as
there are enough good and juicy Jobs
to go around. SO the Mellon and Ware
factions bury the axe in Pinchots neck
and the agreement runs that II the
dignifed and extremely moral men,
bers OF the senate give Ware the buns
rush when he comes to claim his seat,
the Pennsylvania boys will continue to
send Ware back so often that the sena-
torial boot will lose its punch. And
Mellon, the real boss of the govern
ment OF which Coolidge Is nominal
head, pulls off this deal without ex-
tracing lisp from Coolidge.

TAXES BETTER

Cole ctiOns For Past Year
About Five Per Cent Bet
ter, Stecn Says

Tax collections during 1926 were
slightly more than five per cent bet
ter than for 1924, a statement by
State Auditor Steen shows.
On January l, 1926 the State had
collected 1895 per cent Of the total
amonnt Of taxes payable in 1925. On
January |, 1926, it had collected only
S3.9G per cent or the taxes payable
in 1924. Additional receipts by the
counties due to tax sales and pay
ment of delinquent taxes bid fair
to bring the proportion vi taxes paio
to the highest point in the history of
the state, Steen said. The average

three years is. o. Sc per year. Steen
hopes that this year the proportion
Of taxes levied will reach 90 per cent,
