ONVERSATION-whaI a subject! Dr. Eliot might easily have filled his five foot shel{ of books with animated disputations on this subiect alone; and still have had sufficient materials left over to found a library. There is probably only one subject known to man more boundless in opportunity for discussion of every character and kind than "the use of conver' sation," and that is the "misuse of conversation."

A great thinker once said('lsngu6gs is given us that we may say kindly things to one another." Why not make that the text of this discussion? To what finer cause could conversation be dedicated than the dissemination of kindly, friendly, cheerful, inspiring, helpful thoughts?

Pericles of Athens, ,J ,..", ,f,* ,n 1ro.t glo*ing era of all the history of this thing that we call civilization was named after him"The Age of Pericles"left to all thinking humans a priceless heritage. Not the colorful and admirable accomplishments in art, drama, marble, or the development of the beautiful in all things; something 'bigger and better and more lasting even than thcse wr.s his example in the use and manipulation of the most powerful of all created thingswords. For Pericles, one of the most gifted and matchless talkers of all the ages, prayed to his Gods before every public utterance, that he might use no unnecessery word, and misuse no word.

From the Persians t tO *l nuu" lnoan". maxim of great portent, if we will but heed. It says; "Ther'e are two infallible signs of a weak mind; to speak when you should be silent, and to be silent when you should speak." Would it not be well to amplify that thought in every modern school curriculum, in order that by the process of absorption, such fine philosophy would find general distribution?

Remember Kahlil Gibran's matchless description of the conversational powers of the Man of Galilee? "He was speaking to His {riends of love and strength. I know He spoke of love, for there was melody in His voice; and I know He spoke of strength, for there were armies in His sestures." Was ever a more perfect description written of the true use of conversation?

What says another thinking man on the subject of words? "To know the words of the great men who are gone is compensation for having to listen to the mediocrity of today." For in the "olden days" it was the condensed and agreed opinion of thinking people that conversation was an art; that every word should be carefully chosen, and selected, and given its burden of meaning, or power. impression, color, force, or what not, So it was that conversation of the better sort was reserved for people of thinking capacity and quality. We find that great and good man Marcus Aurelius saying to one of lesser degree: "A slave thou art; {ree speech is not for thee,t'

Opinions of this matter changed, however, for we hear Voltaire of France, he one of the incomparable wit and rapier-like tongue, probably the most gifted conversationalist in this world's history, uttering these words: "I do not agree with what you say; but I rvill die defending your right to say it."

Freedom of speech had come. But, as in all things, as quantity comes in the window, quality goes out the door. Conversation degenerates; its uses are fairly engulfed by its abuses.

Because the USE of conversation is the 'exchange of ideas through the medium of well selected rvords expressing interesting thoughts into interesting words and phrases, and illuminating them with the personality and character of the speaker, is the finest art of conversation.
