xt book SpeechIs Easy, Rutgers University Press1938, which is regarded as one of themost practical volumes on speech in-struction. In common with many colleges andschools, Rutgers has provided instruc-tion in public speaking and debate fora lengthy period. In recent years theuse of microphone and loudspeakerhas been added to older forms of in-struction to help students familiarizethemselves with the advantages andrestrictions of public address systems,now in common use. Class room procedure was recentlymodified successfully by making re-cordings of students voices. A stu-dent addresses the class. His remarksare heard by loudspeaker, and part isrecorded. He then joins the class andhears the record played, taking partin comment and criticism. We were immediately convinced ofthe effectiveness of the hear your ownvoice technique, Professor Reagerstates. For some twenty years Ihave been speaking at conventionsand to groups of business men on the 19^i A College Course in Telephone Speech 81

Listening to a Recorded Conversation The two students who conversed by telephone, out of hearing of the class, have rejoined the group, and all are listening not only to what they said but to how they said it. Professor Richard C. Reager is at the extreme right subject of better speech as an aid tothe business man. I have had occa-sion to mimic some of the commonspeech faults, and invariably I sensea reaction among my auditors to theeffect that Of course, / never makesuch mistakes. Recordings in theclass room, where the student hears hisvoice, thoroughly upset this happy be-lief! Improvement is rapid, however,as soon as mike fright disappears.Early records are kept for comparisonwith recordings made toward the endof the course. Thus the student cannote his progress. In my opinion a great deal of non-sense is taught and written aboutspeech. At Rutgers we approach thesubject from a strictly practical view-point. We are turning out young men,many of whom will go into business.Good speech
