THE MORNING FORUM This department is devoted to the interests of public speaking in Central, being not only a record of all speeches given in the auditorium, but an encouragement and friendly criticism for the benefit of our budding orators. ee eee Franzblau, Sam, December 7.— The Hero of the Submarine. Never repeat when an omission occurs. Your desire to finish caused nervousness on your part and misunderstanding on ours. Blau, Leslie, December 10.—‘‘The Place of Ath- letics.in the High School Curriculum. You pre- sented some good ideas and your talk, on the whole, was very interesting. Miller, Sarah, December 11.— 'Book-cover De- signing. Hastiness and the dropping of your voice towards the end spoiled an otherwise good talk. O'Hare, Mary, December 12.— 'Punishments in the United States Army. You had some good ma- terial, but did not bring it out in a forceful manner, on account of the too mechanical tone of your voice. Plapinger, Selma, December 13.— Red Cross Xmas Stamps. A talk which can readily be classed among the best this term, due to the ease with which you enforced your appeal. Your voice, however, is a trifle too thin for so large an assembly as ours. Dr. Corson, December 18. —' The Red Cross. This demonstration would not have been complete without your presence. Baron van der Noot, December 18.— ''What Red Cross Means to Me. Who could remain mute to so stirring an appeal, which touched even the hearts of the coldest? Major McClough, December 18.— My Ex- periences in Belgium. Never were the dreadful conditions in Belgium brought home to us so strongly as you presented them. We certainly are for the Red Cross, first and last. Creuse, Earl, December 19.— 'Stenotypy and Its Advantages. Your knowledge on this subject, due to experience, was wide, and was presented to us in an interesting fashion. Trauthman, Emil, December 19.—' The Work of General Gorgas.” A good talk spoiled by your very poor position, which, by the way, is one of the im- portant essentials of making a talk a success. Lee, Albert, December 19.—‘‘John Wanamaker.” The subject was wisely chosen and you knew it well, which made it interesting for your listeners. Mr. Van Brunt, December 19.— Safety First. A few important facts which are very instructive, given in an interesting manner. Steinberg, Emma, December 21.—‘‘The Negro Question. The best talk this term. Now that you have shown us what you can do, we shall be very dissatisfied if we do not hear from you again. Hauser, Gerald, December 21.—‘‘The Chinese Play. This time you did not come up to your usual standard. S’matter, did the visitor have any influence on you? Linnick, Meyer, December 21.—‘‘The Strength of a Republican in the Time of War. This was good, and spoken clearly and eloquently. The ease with which you delivered your topic helped a great deal. Locic FOR THOSE CONTEMPLATING ENLISTMENT Of two things one is certain, either you are mobilized or you are not mobilized. If you are not mobilized there is no need to worry.
