With the beginning of the second half-year Mr. Copeland's volunteer classes in reading and speaking resume their meetings, and notice is given in another column for the enrolment of new members.

Most underclassmen do not recognize the value of these classes. More and more attention is being given every year by schools and colleges to elocution and public speaking; and it is now almost indispensable for an educated man to be able to read and speak in public in a way that will command attention. Mr. Copeland's classes offer the only chance for Freshmen to practice reading and speaking under the supervision of an instructor.

Owing to lack of time, Mr. Copeland has been unable to give any of his usual evening readings thus far this year. Tonight and next Thursday night, however, he will read selections from the writings of Stephen Crane and from Barrie's "Margaret Ogilvy." The large numbers that have attended these readings in the past have shown how interesting and deservedly popular they are.
