PUBLIC SPEAKING
Ths importance of being able to express one's thoughts-in public readily and effectively was the subject of an interesting address delivered at the-Y.M.-C.A. rooms last evening by Mr. 0. C. Mazengaib. The lecturer emphasised the necessity of a certain amount of preparation and training in the art of expression. That training, he said, was also a means of developing mental power. Comments were made on much of the speaking heard, from the pulpit; and ' the general tone and style of speech in Parliament was criticised, Ma\. Mazengarb remarking that it was said that oratory was now out of place in the. Legislature. He added that, it -was certainly, out of fashion. "The art of public speaking," he said, "is not merely the sine qua non of .success in these vocations, it is the indispensable assistant of those who would forge ahead in the keen competition of business and the faithful friend of those who would attain positions of power and social influence."
