The diffidence of some boys and
girls in their school days when It
comes time to "speak on the stage"
Is well known. There are hundreds
of youthful pupils, who make of this
test a bugbear and never really try
to understand why It Is forced upon
them, if it Is, and what good it will
do them.
This Is a day and time when ready
speakers and thinkers are necessary.
The man who finds that he cannot
think on his feet, to use a common ex
presslon, and has not the faculty of
giving his thoughts in forceful, con
nected sentences. Is out of luck. He
appears at his worst when he should
appear at his best. He falls In his
mission many times because he has
not acquired that habit.
When the schools of this country'
uttempt to make boys speak in public
they often fall. It is due to the boys
themselves and they naturally reap
the harvest of vain regrets when they
get into the big things of life and fall
miserably when a test comes. It Is
quite probable that the so-called civic
clubs. Rotary, Klwanls, etc., have dona
more for older men In that respect
than any other organization, but all
men are not members and all mem
hers don't learn to speak.
It is essentia] and necessary for the
boy and the girl as well that they he
given this Ideal practice, not to
come orators but to speak well wi
on their feet. It will mean much
any of them In later life, nuen ra-
than they can ever realize, while they
are using all sorts of vain and silly
excuses to get out of It. The embar

creases and the most pitiful sight
you can Imagine is a well Informed.

We like the word "Fellowship." It

It Is customary for a football team
to get together after a hard and gruel

eight years ago by which he was to
work on the latter’s farm on equal
shares. The first year, he stated, Wal

Thompson said, by which he was to
