...work is actually spent. The object is of course to find ways to eliminate such waste of time as is observed, and the results already obtained are very striking and suggestive, and they bid fair to be far-reaching in importance. Mr. Gilbreth will speak from the point of view of a large employer, thus endeavoring to increase the efficiency of his men. The subject is one meriting the attention of anyone interested in efficiency either on his own part or on the part of his subordinates, present or prospective...

The formal debate of today is undoubtedly of great value to the participant, but it is not interesting to the average man. It is too technical, and redundant. The proposed contest will be considerably shorter, more varied, and more comprehensible. The emphasis on the literary quality, the power to please and persuade an audience, should bring out that phase in which our debating is weakest. Altogether, the new arrangements are to the advantage...
