Book Description

Excerpt from The Fundamentals of Speech: A Behavioristic Study of the Underlying Principles of Speaking and Reading, a Text Book of Delivery So whenever men are greatly in earnest, whenever they desire the truth and the truth fairly, they gather in groups to talk, listen, and observe. By no possible intensifying of writing and reading can man ever satisfy or supplant his desire to foregather with his kind, look his fellow in the eye, speak or listen, personality to personality, heart to heart, soul to soul. The spoken word is as much more vital and valuable than the written as a telephone conversation is more satisfactory than a telegram, or a conversation than a letter - and for the very same reasons.
