The circular is sent out in con- nection with the forthcoming an- nual meeting cf the association In Montreal June 3-5, and it adds: “Nomatter what the situation now is, Canada has great days ahead and the manufacturing in- dustry will play a leadi-ng role." In line with this thought the As- sociation has chosen as its meet- ing theme: “Industry — new horizons.” About 1,500 delegates are expected to attend from across Canada. Recently the following article, written by Alan Meiklejohn of the Park Hill Secondary School, Hamilton, Ont., appeared in the Ontario Secondary School Teach- in The Horlzon'ln the hope that it may help teachers who are struggling with the task of hav- ing their students become com- petent in speech which is one of the important objectives of our school curriculum. Here is what he says: * In mid Otober all grade nine students begin a three - phase program, geared as fol- lows. PHASE 1 The trial run, recognizes the; act that to overcome fear is the pupil's first hurdle. At the thought of speaking before his fellows, his / knees knock, his teeth c-hatter and creeping para- lysis all but sets in‘. During this preliminary can-ter the student speaks for less than two minutes about a very easy subject, one on which he is the foremost liv- ing- authority. himself. No pain-sta-king preparation is called for since he has already had at least twelve years famil- iarity with the topic. During this initial stage he is allowed to re- main seated and is encouraged to talk conversation-ally as if chatting with a friend. A list of questions such as the following is now given on the blackboard: “What is your full name”? Your nick-name? How did you get it?" “Where were you born? Where do you live?" “What does your father do for a living? “How did you earn your first dollar”? “What W313 your first job, and how did, you get it?” “What do you do on Saturdays?” “What are your plants for your education and your future?” The student is asked to speak slowly and to enunciate clearly. Class members ,are to raise their hands if he cannot be heard. PHASE II The impromptu speech session, is somewhat more demanding. A day in advance each pupil is giv- en a slip of paper on which he is asked‘ to list two subjects in or- der of preference on which he would be prepared to speak for about one minute with little ad- vance preparation. He is urged to pick familiar topics and usu- ally comes up with some such as the followvi.ng—Delitverir.~g Papers, the world series, Teen- age fashions, My favorite maga- zine, etc., the teacher collects all the slips and may either add to or delete topics at his discretion. The next day there are three pos- sible methods of conduc-ting the session. The pupils may draw for subjects, the teacher may assign them individually, or ea-ch pupil may be given back the slip he previously su-bmitted. Number one in the first row is given his slip and is allowed two minutes at the back of the room to jot down a few ideas, includ- ing an opening sentence and a consluion. Just before he starts speaking, number two draws and retires to consider his theme, and so on down the row. Each pupil on this occasion stands by his desk, announces his subject and plunges in. It is made clear at the outset that this is not a formal speech bu-t merely calls for a half dozen on the spur-of -the - moment ideas. After all have spoken the class may vote by secret ballot for the Impromp- tu Speech Champion.

The student hands his written work to the teacher‘ just as he goes to the lectern to deliver it; this ensures care- ful preparation on his part and is a ready reference for the tea- cher in assigning a mark out of a possible maximum of 100 The pupil is allowed to take with him a card or cards, 3 x 5 which~con- tain headings or points as mem- mory a-id.’ A chairman takes charge of each session, calls for each‘ speak er, and calls for the critic's re- port at the close. Each member‘ of the class acts as the official critic for at least one other speech and is expected to make notes during its delivery. APPRAISAL ~ The following criteria serves as a basis for such appraisal: 1. Ma- terial: A. Content: Is the title effective? Is the aim clear-cut? Is tliere a single theme well stat- ed and easily followed? Is the detail concrete and exact? _ B. Organization: Does the be- ginning arouse curiosity? Waken interest? What are the main sub- divisions or sub-topics? Is the line of thought developed logically, cumulatively, and clirrratically? Are vital points stressed? Is the material sufficient, insufficient, or excessive? Does the ending ade- quately sum up? Has the speak- er planned for the time limit? 11. Techniques A. Language, Voice; Speech. sI the speaker’: vocabulary adequ- ate, limltted, overworked? Are his words dull, vivid, pendantic, or well chosen? Is his voice clear pleasant expressive? Is there var- iety of pitch resonance and pow- ex;? Is his articulation clear-cut and distinct? Is his pronuncia- tlon? Are lmprottant words em- phasized B. Manner: Is his platform ap- proach effective? Is his stance easy. enthusiastic, yet dignified? Are his gestures natural and mea- ningful? Is his facil expression alive or stolid? Does he hold the audience and evoke their enthus- iastic response? After all students in the school have spoken, grades 9-12, the tea- chers of English select the top fifty and a one day-allday elimin- atlon contest is held to determine the best four in each grade. TEN TIPS To assist new and inexperien- ced teachers the following “Ten tips for teeners’-’ have proven of value: Preparation counts; the well - prepared speech is already half delivered. Opening should be brief ; a sen- tence or two will be sufficient. Voice is no problem. If your talk is interesting no one will worry about your. larynx. Eye contact should he sustained and inclusive. With a large aud- ience pivot slightly so that all come within t-he sight of your vis- IOH. Q Feet—your distance shouldbe easy but dignified, with feet sligh- tly apart for balance. Gestures contribute if they are natural. If used to excess they distract and detract. Memorization—Speeches should never be memorized verbatim. The introduction, yes, the con- clusion by all means. But in be- tween the speaker should put the flesh and blood on the skelteon outline and he moves along. Vocabulary -- keep- it simple.

Never thank your listeners. If you have really sold your subject to them, they will react both spontaneously and wholeheartedly. It has been said that speech is not a natural gift; it is learned. Speakers are not born they are made. The fact remains that a big degree of proficiency in this art or science is requisite to suc- cessful living, both inside school and out. The measure of suc- ‘cess such a program enjoys willq . be in direct proportion to the en- ‘thusiasm of the teachers invol- ved. “On a single winged word Ihath hung the destiny of na- tions. ‘ {the Prince Edward Island Tea- Echers’ Federation.

By FRED CHAFE Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP) — A “work for hire" system born of the rising cost of farming is making head- way on the Ontario agricultural scene. Some call’it contract farming. Whatever the term, it ties the participating farmer in varying degrees to a bigger business or- ganization because" he finds it erate strictly on his own finan- cial resources. The contract system started in the poultry business but has be- come prominent in hog farming, where it appears to have been developed largely by rural feed dealers. AIDS YOUNG FARMERS Norman Drzmm-ie, a dealer. at Elora, 10 miles northwest of Guelph, helpful to young farmers just get- ting started and short on cash. “It’s worked fine” for him and his customers. Under a typical contract, Mr. Drimmie supplies both young pigs and feed to the farmer who then feeds and houses them un- til they are ready for market, a period of perhaps four to 4% months. The farmer receives $5.50 a pig if the market price remains steady, with a guaranteed mini- mum of $3. His fee is cut by 50 cents for each $2 drop in market prices down to a total drop of Conirctci Farming, Relieves Farmer Of Some Of His Load impossible or undesirable to op- .

The dealer retains ownership of the animals throughout and gets his profit by marketing the hogs. “Last summer a farmer made $1,033.50 on this plan for feeding 250 hogs,” Mr. Drimmie said. “We also organized his building and feeding equipment for him to the point where he got down to about~an hour's work a day for the 250.” He estimated a farmer should have at least 250 hogs—an invest- ment of possibly $4,000—to gain feeding methods. The average probably runs con- siderably less, although one On- tario farmer is regularly feeding 750 to 1,000 animals on contract. At the other end of the scale, Mr. Drim-mie has (1 alt with farmers handling as ew as 15 or No estimate is available of the number of participating farmers across the province.

In the c a s e where ’ animals are merely fed and housed for a dealer at a. set rate, the farmer does not handle the marketing and gets no profit other than his f-cc. ‘ g ' In the poultry business, con- tract development has gone about as far as it can go. Here there is a three-way deal between a feed dealer, ‘a processor and a’ farmer. The processor offers a guaran- teed market price,to the dealer, who then supplies feed to the farmer and is paid by the pro- cessor when the broilers are mar- keted. The farm may provide his own chicks or have them supplied or financed by one of the other parties, and he gets the balance of the market price after costs are deducted. It has not gone that far in the Ontario hog industry because a marketing board has jurisdiction in some counties to direct where hogs must be sold, thus making individual marketing contracts difficult.
