BASIC OBJECTIVES OF SPEECH TRAINING Nineteen centuries ago Jesus was born of a simple peasant woman. He grew up and lived an obscure life for thirty years. He never entered collegeg he never had a familyg he never wrote a book. At the age of thirty, through the power of speech he set into motion a way of life that was so impressive and compelling that it assumed the proportions of a great religion. The Christian religion swept over half the globe and was nourished through preaching not writing. Jesus never wrote a single sentence. His way of life was made articulate by the words from his own lips. Speech is just as important in our modern world as it was in the days of Christ. Speech training helps the student meet the practical need of the modern day. The person who can speak well before a group is the person who forges ahead. Speech helps to discipline the mind, and no man can consider himself educated who has not gone far toward acquiring mental discipline. In acquiring mental discipline one is also acquiring character self-confidence, poise, initiative, and individuality. Speech training helps one to increase his service to society. The highest function of citizenship can never be realized as long as those who have wisdom remain silent and keep their ideas to themselves. It is only when these ideas are shared with others that they become an important force in creating a better world Evelyn Caplinger
