Speajers' Bureau of National Security League Arouses People to Patriotism

By MRS. T. J. PRESTON,

The speakers’ bureau of the National Security league is not work of my choice, but, in assuming its duties as the successor of my husband, Doctor Preston, who organized it twd years ago, I am guided by the principle by which I believe we should all be actuated in taking up work of this character. It seems to the ihoment the thing for me to do. .4' It is with no little trepidation bht, owing to its great importance, with great interest and enthusiasm that I undertake this work. I am eager to maintain and carry out the admirable organization which I find

with the guaranty of the National Security leaguo—fipcaKers wno, since men, wHtZTami hSXTXTXtive speakers not so well’known, nil selected for ability to arouse audiences to patriotism. We are arranging for local meetings and routing speakers all.over the United States as far as the Pacific coast. . We are equipped to furnish to every type of meeting, from the large -mass meeting to the small group, clubs, banquets, shops, stores, schools, halls, churches, etc., and such open-air meetings as for one .reason or another are not covered by the “flying squadron,” an organization brought into the National Security league to look after out-of-door meetings, for which it has a corps of especially trained speakers. Wo are able to supply speakers in twenty different languages. Our meetings number more than ten a day. ; \ * I shall give painstaking attention to the details of meetings, to the qualifications of our speakers and to fitting the right man or woman to the appropriate audience, and continue to employ the absolutely business methods of routine which I find prevailing.
