E LLIP It rs often sard that lf It were destmed for a man to make good nothing can hold him back Many thlngs can hmder hxm and up permost of these IS lack of educatlon Some men wlth llttle educatlon are successful, but these are the unusual cases The average successful man has m some way been prepared for hls work and for thrs preparatlon we find It Increasingly Important to be equlpped w1th a college educatlon NI H MY FIRST EXPERIENCE AS AN ORATOR I was only a Freshle yet I was destined preclsely at eight o clock to take my place rn l1ne with several other vlctlms march brave ly up the steps take a seat on the platform and anxlously awalt my turn to thrlll the multitude of hsteners wrth my oratoncal powers Thls house of fame for rather place of torturej was none other than Wrlbur Hall and the occasion was the first night of publlc speaklng during my Freshman year Ever slnce I had been old enough to reallze the benefits derrved from such an experrence as our instructor words rt I had been looklng ahead, fearfully for my first attempt But lt was not until I had started learning my selec txon and the date of my executlon was as slgned, that I began to really grow nervous and then I certainly made up for lost trme Of the few hours before my debut I can remember scarcely a thing but can easily rmagme my feelmgs I remember taking my seat and facing the crowd and oh' what a sxght greeted me There was a dance and other entertam ments on that evenmg and several people had assured me that there would be only a few spectators present Thls talk had served its purpose and had consoled me but how I was deceived It looked to me that outslders had got their dates mlxed belleved this to be the bug Fmals and all the towns had turned out en masse to cheer on to vrctorv thelr local partlclpants Of course this was not the case but that was the way It seemed There wasnt a seat empty and people were stand mg up That one look was enough, thereafter my attertlon was fixed on nothlng rn particular m the vrcrmty of about ten Inches from the end of my foot I remember xaguely wonder mg to myself rf all those people had come just to hear me but I was soon brought back to the reahzatron that there were nine others on the stage besides myself by hearlng It an nounced that speaker ko 1 would render such and such a selectlon Thus brought on an at tack of shaklness ln my legs whlch lasted untnl she was nearly half through Then as I became lnterested m what she was saying my fear left me but It was again brought on as that speaker frm hed and I realized that there were only four more to speak before myself Ihe next speaker had hardly got started when he had to be prompted Alas' This brought on a new and greater fear VI hat 1f I had to be prompted? I hadnt thought of thls PUOQSIIJIIIIY I'ever1shly searching ln my pocket I fished out mv prece and trred say mg xt to myself But this undertaklng falled mlserably Belng seml consclous of the other speakers words I got mlxed up and couldnt even start my prece Thls went on to the fifth speaker The next selectlon was mme Hastrly I glanced ln the audience dxrectlon Oh dear' They were stlll there Then speaker No 5 fimshed and mv own selection was announced Awkwardly I got to my feet and stlll more awkwardly and rll at ease I managed to get out onto the mlddle of the stage and faced the wutmf' audlence I know I wondered to myself what was the first l1ne of mv plece VI hat lf I had to be prompted at the begrnnmg? Thls seemed rather funny to me and thrs feeling helped me out of my drlemma All at once rt ran through my mxnd 1ust as natural as everydav conversation, and I beffan speaklng It bothered me at first to swallow and talk on account of a lump ln mv throat as large as a hen s egg This caused my vorce to be straxned and unnatural but It soon cleared away But all the trme my knees shook dreadfully and cau ed quite a breeze ln mv rmmedxate vlcmltv Thus I falled to stop or prevent As the lxghts shone on the faces of the spectators xt seemed to me that exerx I0 TI-I PI-II IAN A . . . . , - . r .
