New Public Speaking
 Method To Be Tried
Mattatuck Community College Teacher Explains How
 Course Subject Will Be Taught at YMCA

in recent times. Today, MT. Kelley believes. most students have omit ted persuasion or mistaken it's r1a- ture with argument. Here, how ever, while every feature of argu- mentation is treated, the necessary essential, persuasion, is fully dis cussed and given its rightful place in public speaking.
 The last phase will be an ad- vanced course for successful stu dents in the first three quarters work. It will consider the impor- tance of psychology in public speak ing. MT. Kelley explains that the orators whole task is essentially that of influencing the human mind. And since, psychology is a scientific study of the mind and human behavior, he considers it of the utmost importance to the stu- dent of public speaking. Under his course, it will be considered care- fully in its relation to the students de.i7ery, and his influence upon the audience.

Continuing the explanation of how course subjects will he taught under the new progressive educa- tion plan at Mattatuck Community College, Patrick H. Kelley, head of the literature and languagea rea outlines in the manner in which he will teach public speaking.
 Public speaking" says MT Kelley, 'is one of the most essen- tial requisites in the education of both young and old today. The opportunities for expression are SC many and widespread that study of the arte of intelligent, force- full speech become almost manda- tory"
 As the subject will be taught un- der the new method at Mattatuck it will embody four distinct phases They are: Elementary public speak ing, parliamentary procedure, per- suasive speech and the psychology of public speaking.
 In the first phases the student familiariZes himself with the fun damental principles of voice culture diction and gesture. The primary aim of the new instruction is tc develop an individual style of di- rect, effective speaking, without un. necessary elocutionary adornment.
 Parliamentary procedure, the sec. ond phase, acquaints the student with the proper forms of procedure in meetings and should prove z beneficial adjunct to deeper ap. preciation of the art of conduct 1T meetings.
 The third, persuasive speech, re- stores "persuasion," the great worl of oratory, to the position it ha held from the beginning and los

STRIP FARMING
IS INCREASING
SQUARE BUTTE DISTRICT PROVEN
AREA; WINTER WHEAT BELT Is
BENEFITED
MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Strip farming has increased ma
terially in Montana this year, accord
ing to Sam l.. Sloan. extension agro-
nomist at Montana State college.
While the Square Butte area, In
north central Montana, has exper-
fenced a steady increase. this tillage
program, recommended to minimize
wind erosion. a spread with rapid
strides into northeastern Montana.
Mr.. Sloan accompanied a represent
alive group Of north central Montana
farmers on the annual tour OF the
pioneer strip farming area in the vlcin-
ity of Square Butte. A number OF farms
were visited where strip farming has
been in operation for about 10 years. In
addition to studying the program as a
means of controlling soil erosion. the
farmers were interested in the method
of fallow.
The agronomist said the plowless
method is used almost exclusively. The
duckfoot cultivator, one-way pillow and
rotary rod Weeder are now standard
equipment on most farms.
The farmers also were interested IN
studying the new duckfoot drill oper-
alton. which is coming into use in a
number of Montana farming areas. The
drill works in well with the strip farm
ing practice as it enables the farmer
to carry on his cultivation during the
seeding season, and also aids in wind
erosion control.
AS the Square Butte area is largely
a winter wheat area, and winter wheat
is more susceptible to wind erosion
than spring wheat. the strip farming
practice has been instrumental in
holding much good land in operation.
A rapid spread of the practice result
ed il northeastern Montana as a re-
suit Of meetings held in the spring.
