HOW TO Develop Self-Confidence IN SPEECH AND MANNER

By GRENVILLE KLEISER

_Author of "How to Argue and Win."_

In all fields of endeavor there are thousands of people who are forced
to remain in the background because they lack self-confidence in speech
and manner--the very fundamental of success. For just such people
Grenville Kleiser has written his book "How to Develop Self-Confidence
in Speech and Manner."

The work deals with methods of correction for self-consciousness, with
manners as a power in the making of men, with the value of a cultivated
and agreeable voice, with confidence in society and business. A series
of suggestions is given for an every-day cultivation of these qualities.

"Embodies in a most encouraging and practical way all that is
needed to make one who is naturally timid or fearful in speech and
manner, self-poised, calm, dignified and confident of himself. It
must be said that the method proposed is one of sober self-estimate
and persistent effort along well considered lines of thought and
action, designed to eradicate this uneasiness."--_Times Dispatch_,
