In the ever changing *soenes. of ry t: one's life there is a time-when each Hz/', of us will be called onf ?to- express _ . .. . s our opinion on certain questions; ui j, order to make an interesting" talk nQii^ ^ " ;w and one that will attract ,the atten- a v / tion \ of our hearers, we must know U vN how to express ourselVdtf. ** '' v j "Practice maHes pi)tfn find that our literary1 flddHy " pre- ]< pares us to be able speakers ? and thinkers.

P ^ Without the training in oratory i that the literary society furnishes c ,the boys and girls wo^ld be weaken- e ' d by th^ laet of this culture. Then 0 iwhen we enter college or find our- * ..selves on the stage of life we will a be preparedto show that we have had 0 'some training along these lines. We P are told that the good that the liter- ? r ~ * >ary society has spread throughout v the state has been of untold benefit. I 8 "Every year the State House" re-1* sounds with the eloquence of her t * . I f isons, the courtroom has its share I1 and every city its speakers and poli-1 c i s ticians." None of us know what position we ^ will occupy in life as yet, but where- . ever we go, whatever we do, our literary training will always come in: > , ^ li handy. To be skilled in oratory is.? a great ' undertaking, e But in our society we are awak- s I. ing; ' ,J To think as wise men think. - t Our society adds a^link _ .
