Laura is smart in wanting to know how to make an interesting speech. For the population explosion means it is becoming essential for all types" of leaders to become adept at public platform strategy. Whether you are a singer, magician or speaker, there are several basic rules to keep in mind. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE F-561: Laura M., aged 16, is taking Public Speaking. "Dr. Crane," she began, "you spoke for Tag.minutes before our high school assembly, but it didn't seem like 10 minutes. / "So what is your formula Cor holding an audience?" fLATFORM PSYCHOLOGY •' Well, if Laura had taken notes she.'d have discovered the formula. But whenever we hear a 4 speech that grips us and captivates our attention, we usually find it irritating to take notes. Maybe that is why so many younger clerics (and some past 40) haven't yet learned the simple recipe for thrilling an audience. If you teen-agers wish to obtain the best public speaking laboratory experience (and at no tuition cost), volunteer to teach a Sunday School class. Pm not joking, for most of us professional orators have served an internship in that manner. Then go out for the high school, as well as your college, debating team. I did that in high school and was captain of one of Northwestern university's debate teams when debating was a fine art. But I also took several courses in our School of Speech under superb public platform psychologist, namely, Lew Sarett. Prof. Sarett was a famous chautauqua orator and the best applied psychologist at Northwestern, barring none. He always urged speakers to select a theme or text about which they were well informed. "Be so full Of knowledge that you can speak for an hour on your topic," he would advice, "but then compress your material into 20 minutes. That compression will immediately speed up the speaker's rate of delivery and a fast flow of language helps captivate an audience. But some members of our speech class would be so "steamed up" about their topic and so intent on persuading everybody to their viewpoint, that they sounded like a highpressure salesman. "Wait a minute," Prof. Sarett would smilingly break in upon ~ such a pile-driving orator. "Wander around a little enroute to your destination and pick a few daisies along the roadside." "Picking daisies" meant injecting a little humor and using some local cases that would help illustrate the major theme. Since I have delivered literally thousands of professional speeches, I can also add these further relevant points:. (1) Save your jokes or humor till later in your speech, for the crowd will follow you for the first 3 minutes, anyway, just out of curiosity and to size you up; (2^ Use the rebound phenomena, in which you deftly alternate humor with pathos, thereby getting greater response to both; (3) "Key** your opening, like the a capella choir, with a relevant quotation from some famous person of the past; (4) Be animated and vivacious, even if you must turn this on by deliberate effort; (5) Have a punchy terminal sentence =or fade out with a famous quotation. For futher advice, send for my booklet, on "Public Platform Strategy*' enclosing a long stamped, return envelope and 20 cents. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) USE THE CLASSIFIEDS LAW IS ATTENDED BY AREA POLICE Law enforcement officers attending the second seminar conducted by the Chicago-Kent College of Law Institute For Criminal Justice in Chicago, recently included Chief George E. Seibert, Patrolman Richard Peters and Patrolman William Sandell, Village of Sunnyside, McHenry. Also included were Lt. Robert Madsen, Lt. Robert Crabtree, and Patrolman Walt Scholz, McHenry county. A capacity audience of police officers from a five-state area participated in discussions of the Illinois Juvenile Court Act, Arrest and Search Warrants, limits of police jurisdiction with regard to police authority, municipal boundaries and state jurisdiction, and other pertinent topics that apply to enforcement by the man on the beat. The Institute was established to provide a means of informing policemen of the many new court decisions that affect daily police procedures. At the all-day seminar, police officers had the opportunity to hear Andre A. Moenssens, institute director; Marshall J. Hartman, assistant public defender, Cook county; Thomas A. Hett, assistant state's attorney, Cook county; R. Bruce Holmgren, attorney and publishing executive and Ralph L. Brill, associate professor of law at the college, conduct the sessions. In the afternoon a panel discussion moderated by Professor Brill dealt with civil liability. Following an overwhelming response to the first two seminars, plans are now being made for a three-day series in July directed to the chiefs of police across the nation.
