Excerpt from Americanized Delsarte CultureHis little volume was originally written to meet the demand of those who studied with Miss Dorothy Bishop and myself for a book that should contain the whys, hows, and wherefores of our preliminary course in self-expression and Health culture. Not only former pupils, but unknown friends - physicians, teachers, students and many others - have generously expressed appreciation of its helpful teachings. The desire that this helpfulness may continue and increase has prompted this revision of the book and the insertion of a new chapter, Hints for Study. The suggestions contained in that chapter will, it is believed, make the book more available as a text-book for schools, for classes in physical educa tion and in elocution. A true voice and a natural use of it are impossible if the physical instrument of expression - the body - lacks in power, elasticity and responsiveness. In the Chautauqua School of Expression (chautauqua Assembly, Chautauqua, N. Self-expression and Health culture is found to be an important preparation for higher literary and dramatic interpretation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
