Professor
The anecdote as an antidote
for various ills was recommended
by Dr. Daniel D. Gage of the Uni
versity of Oregon school of busi

classifying funny stories to his

Analysing the variable' success
of s.tory-telling, the speaker, men-,
tloned as factors the teller's own
enjoyment, his ability to command
attention of his listeners, the
story's .appropriateness to the
audience and its timeliness.
Favorable conditions for suc
cessful story telling listed were
the creation of a lifelike setting,
use ot the surprise element, let
ting the listener down "with a
jolt," subtlety, a story of proper
length, use ot dialect it authen
tic and being able to finish the
story when the "nub" Is reached.
President C V. Johnson of the
