Instead of resenting criticism or disbelieving it, they appreciate knowledge of faulty usage when gained by themselves through hearing their own voices. Professor Reagers innovation at Rutgers well illustrates this increased public interest, and is perhaps the most significant illustration to date.So far as is known, it is the first organized effort on the part of an institution other than telephone companies to teach proper telephone speech technique and to assign to the subject a degree of importance in practical daily life that ranks it with public speaking and debate. Application of the essentials of good speech to the 80,000,000 telephone calls handled daily in the Bell Telephone System may be too much to hope for within the foreseeable future,but the new course at Rutgers certainly is a step toward such a goal and forecasts the introduction of similar instruction in schools and colleges generally as something not too visionary.
