1926. This is not a course in old-fashioned, spread-eagle oratory. It is an intensive and thoroughly tested course to help the business and professional man in his speaking, both public and in private. The course has aided thousands of business and professional men to become creditable speakers, many of whom were formerly unable to say half a dozen sentences effectively when facing an audience. This course has developed men. It has increased their faith and vision, and shown them how to use their latent forces to the fullest possible extent. It has made leaders out of many who were previously only mute followers. Also included in the book are three stories: Acres of Diamonds by R.H. Conwell; A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard and As a Man Thinketh by James Allen.
