Excerpt from Public Speaking: For Normal and Academy StudentsA textbook on the 'art of expression, to be useful to Normal or Academy students, must be simple and practical. Their need is not to absorb an ambitious system, but to learn how to grasp a writer's full meaning and then to express it to the audience exactly, vividly, and forcibly, in a manner natural and easy to themselves, and pleasing to the listeners.In selecting a textbook the teacher must usually choose either a book of selections which outlines no course, and suggests no method, or a book that sets forth a system which one can scarcely use unless he has studied under the personal direction of its author.The writer believes that a textbook on Public Speak ing ought to be as usable as a textbook on Arithmetic. The subject-matter should be so arranged that the student can be assigned definite work, and know how he is to study each lesson. This book attempts to supply that need, and is intended to be intelligible and suggestive to teachers that are not professional elocutionists.For more advanced study the student is referred to Principles of Vocal Expression by Chamberlain and Clark. I should count it great success to do for the pupil in Normal School and Academy what my friend and teacher, Dr. Chamberlain, has done for the College Student.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
