CIRCULATES Practical Elocution By J. W. SHOEMAKER, A. M. This book is the outgrowth of actual class-room experience, and is a practical, common-sense treatment of the whole subject. It is clear and concise, yet comprehensive, and is absolutely free from the entangling technicalities that are so frequently found in books of this class. Conversation is made the basis of all forms of delivery, and, by gradual stages the student is led up to the highest form of dramatic expression and oratory. General principles and practical processes are presented for the cultivation of strength, purity, and flexibility of Voice, for the improvement of distinctness and correctness in Articulation, and for the development of power in delivery. The work includes a systematic treatment of Gesture, a brief system of the gymnastics of Vocal Development and grace of movement, and a chapter on Methods of Instruction, for teachers. Many excellent selections are appended, affording the largest variety for drill in the classroom, and popular as readings and recitations. Sold by all booksellers, or sent, prepaid, upon receipt of price. THE PENN PUBLISHING COMPANY 925-927 Filbert Street, Philadelphia |
