The Psychology Of Public Speaking Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Psychology of Public Speaking The term psychology has a peculiarly formidable appearance. It is supposed to denote something mysterious and ominous and to be closely related to the "black art" or something of that sort. It is a study in character to note the way different people are affected by reference to the subject. The author of this series of articles spent his youth in a rural community, and attended high school and a normal school in a neighboring city. The inhabitants of the rural district knew that he intended to teach school, but had not kept posted as to what had become of him after he had left the normal school. Some ten years later he returned to his boyhood home and renewed old acquaintances. By this time he had completed his college and university work, received his degree abroad and settled down as an ordinary professor of psychology in an American university. Words can but feebly express the replies which were received from the old acquaintances when they were informed that he was a professor of psychology.
