Excerpt from Thirty-Minute Talks

Explaining is half of the work of instructing. Talk saves work - when it is the right kind of talk. For the instructor, explaining - talking - is the hardest part because it means constant brushing up, reading, study, thought and planning - all of which takes time, and time counts heavily in the game of intensive training.

The little talks which follow are offered as time savers for the instructor. They are not in any sense treatises of the subjects considered - just plain, every day talks which the man who is new to the atmosphere and surroundings of military life will be able to under stand. They will save the time of the instructor by presenting to him a guide - an outline - which he may elaborate or rearrange as he may choose.
