Extemporaneous Speaking. Greater efificiency has become the watchword of modern activity, and education in its various departments is shaping to that end. Courses in business management have made their way into the curriculum. The departments of economics, politics, and engineering being the quickest to respond to the popular trend toward practical rather than theoretical teaching, have reaped the greatest increase in enrollment. Extemporaneous Speaking has been the answer of the Public Speaking Department to this demand, and the results obtained have been successful both from the standpoint of the classroom and the interested co-operation of the other college departments. As offered atS warthmore, where it supplements already established courses in Declamation, Oratory and A rgumentation, the aim of the course has been to enable men to talk shop effectively: that is, to equip the college student with the capacity for leadership that comes with the ability to impress ones personality on other people by means of the spoken word. In all professions the thing that lifts an individual above his fellows is usually facility in self-expression. Leadership is the reward of the man who possesses the power of effective speech.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
