Tabulations.  With unusual kinds of material and for special purposes there may be value in evolving other forms of outlines.  A technically trained person accustomed to reading tabulated reports with hosts of figures to interpret might find a statistical statement at times better suited to his needs.  Such tabulations are not any easier to prepare than the regular brief.  In fact to most people they are infinitely more difficult to get into form and almost beyond speedy comprehension afterwards.  The following is a good illustration of a simple one well adapted to the speaker’s purpose—­a report of the objections to the first published covenant of the League of Nations.  He knew the material of his introduction and conclusion so well that he did not represent them in his carefully arranged sheet.  The form was submitted as regular work in a public speaking class and was spoken from during more than forty minutes.
