Communication in the contemporary American family has not broken down; it exists, but not always for beneficial purposes. Communication and cooperation are also indispensable for hostile interaction. Wherever two people have anything to do with each other, they communicate and cooperate fully, although it may be in their agreement to fight each other. Non‐verbal communication is far more extensive and intensive than communication on the verbal level. Words are often used to conceal the meaning of actions, and in the case of conflicts, they become means of warfare. The democratic evolution with its concommitent process of equalization increases conflicts within the family; consequently, communication within the family consists to a large extent in mutual indications of the means best suited to defeat each other.

The speech curriculums in our liberal arts colleges today usually have a course entitled “Business and Professional Speaking”; Such courses are predicated on the assumption that men and women going into business and professional life will give a better account of themselves and be of more value to society if they are able to speak effectively. An example of a cultured professional man, who spoke with unusual acceptance, was Sir William Osier, who became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University after holding chairs in the medical schools of McGill, Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins. The student of business and professional speaking may learn many lessons from Sir William.

That the vocal aspect of delivery is an important part of speech is hardly debatable. Its importance has been recognized from the earliest known writings on rhetoric. Not all writers, however, have given the same amount of attention to it. This article is an attempt to give the reader an indication of the relative importance placed on voice in representative works in rhetoric from Aristotle to Rush, along with suggestions these writers gave for Us effective use.

Recent re‐appraisals of the ideas of Alexander Hamilton have tried to prove that he has been misrepresented and misunderstood. The result has been an attempt to modify his reputation, to change our conception of his ethos in order to make it more compatible with democratic ideals. This study of his invention makes manifest that there is more than a modicum of truth in the customary conception of Hamilton's character: that he was, in fact, distrustful of both, the common man and of democratic processes.
