mary sessions Of an unusual course in "How to
Talk and Think on Your Feet are being held at
the Mayfower Hotel North Room.
A Myth Exploded
The myth that person, in order to speak
effectively before an audience, must be born with
some unusual ability has been exploded by the
Granville Jacobs method of co-ordinated coaching
Speakers are made" not "born" They are
made in the Granville Jacobs Course in Talking
and Thinking on Your Feet" during the short
period of fourteen weeks The classes meet one
evening each week during that time.
Graduates of this course who have never faced
an audience in their life previous to taking this
training, are now speaking regularly, right here
IN washington, before mems service clubs, con-
ferences conventions business gatherings and
political meetings. Over dozen recent graduates
are members of the Speakers Bureau of the Com
munity Chest.
Paul McCrea stated, "Granvile Jacobs methods
actually trains the members of his groups to face
an audience and say what they have to say with
confidence, poiSe and effectiveness"
You may have no desire to become public
speaker in the popular meaning of that term.
Only small percentage OF those who take this
course have that as objective. Most people
take it to increase their power in everyday life.
Many Washington graduates will tell you they
have made more financial progress as the result
of a five-minute talk in the presence of those
who had the poOer to promote than they did
during the preceding five years with their nose
on the grindstone. You may have their names
upon request. They are delighted to recommend
this training so that others may enjoy the same
benefits And remember. they the indi-
viduals who used to quake in their boots at the
m
audience.
The main reason for the effectiveness Of this
training is co-ordinated instruction. Granville
Jacobs not only organizes the course but he con-
ducts 1t. He will not accept more students than
he can train personally. In addition, Mr.. Jacobs
is experienced. During the past four years he
has personally trained more government business
and professional men and women in public speak
ing than any other instructor in the United States
