* * * * * 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, Richmond, Va. 12mo, Cloth.
