Excerpt from The Delivery of a Speech: A Manual for Course I in Public Speaking

We teachers sometimes lose our sense of perspec tive. We get to thinking that ours Is the only subject in the curriculum. We get an over-exalted notion of our work. We must remember that most of our stu dents do not study Public Speaking as an end in it self but as an aid in their chosen work. I do not be lieve that we Public Speaking people are any worse Offenders in this than teachers in other departments. But I do believe that if every teacher would try to remember that his particular subject is not the only one taught, and that the greater number of his stu~ dents do not intend to become specialists in his par ticular line, but only wish to get what that line has to contribute to their general culture and preparation for life, - I say if each teacher would remember this, I believe that many a student would find it easier to get something of definite value out of a given course.
