GOOD CONVERSATION. It is in the philosophical outlook that we find an essential factor in good conversation. It cannot be sustained long on mere facts. The philosophy need not—indeed, should not—be technical, but there must be a philosophical attitude, an ability and willingness to see all round a 1 subject and to trace its implications. Talk, in fact, should never be exclusively technical, any more than it should deal solely in facts,” writes Mr James Truslowc Adams in the “ Forum.” “ What I mean is that good conversation is something quite different from obtaining verbal, instruction. We may get an amazing amount of interesting information from a specialist discoursing on his subject, but so can we from the ‘Encyclopaedia Eritannica.’ Good talk affords, perhaps, the best instruction in the world, but it is not the instruction 'of a text-book.”
