Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extempore Speaking, for School and College This book, the result of practical experience in the class room, has been prepared to supply a treatise on extempore speaking, primarily for school and college students. The general principles of the science and art of extempore speech were fully treated by Quintilian and others in ancient times, and are also set forth in such modern books as Bautain's "Art of Extempore Speaking," Pittenger's "Extempore Speech," Buckley's "Extemporaneous Oratory," Thomas Wentworth Higginson's "Hints on Writing and Speech-Making," and Brander Matthews' "Notes on Speech-Making." While these authors have been freely consulted in the preparation of this book, their treatises are not adaptable for use as text-books. The present volume aims to present the subject in a manner adapted to the needs of both teachers and students, by reclassifying principles and methods, making the methods as specific in treatment as possible, and by adding, at the end of each chapter and in the Appendix, suggestions and topics for class exercises. A large number of modern speeches have also been incorporated, in order that there might be no lack of illustrative material.

A pretty well defined idea that every book must have a preface. Now this little pamphlet does not presume to be a book in any sense of the word. It is merely a collection of notes all too hastily compiled. Still it must have a preface like the rest, and that preface will explain its reason for existence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Public Speaking: A d104-Book for Colleges, and Secondary Schools During the past few years there has developed a marked increase of interest in public speaking. Near ly all the leading institutions of learning have estab lished chairs of oratory, or forensics, and many high schools and normal schools are devoting considerable attention to the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School and College Speaker This book is designed for the use of classes in Public Speaking in colleges and secondary schools. It seeks to give instruction in the essentials of Elocution, and to furnish declamations adapted to school and college boys and girls. In compiling these declamations I have sought those which furnish exercise in the various elements of expression and at the same time appeal to students, - those which present a vivid picture, tell an interesting tale, deal with a concrete situation, or advocate principles and policies fervently and eloquently. Many of these selections are new; they deal with live subjects; a large number of them have never before been printed as declamations. Nearly all of them, however, have been tested in prize-speaking contests and classroom work in Bowdoin College. To encourage the wide reading that is essential to intelligent and appreciative speaking, I have given in nearly all cases definite references to the whole speech, oration, poem, or story from which the selection is taken. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to many of the authors of these declamations for valuable suggestions, and to the publishers mentioned in the prefatory notes for generous permission to use copyrighted selections.

This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Extempore Speaking The above represents a noble and inspiring conception of the speaker; to say anything further on that phase of the subject would, I am afraid, be in the nature of an anti - Climax. But such a point of View is not calculated to minister to the requirements of the great body of students, teachers, lawyers, doctors, businessmen, and Simia lar everyday people who will never have occasion to scale the heights of eloquence, but who often need to express their ideas clearly, forcefully, and attractively to their fellowmen. It is to such that the following pages are addressed. The material used represents, in the main, a condensation and arrangement of the notes and criticisms which the writer has found most helpful to classes during ten years devoted chiefly to helping men - students, business and professional men - to develop their ability to Speak effectively. One of the convictions which this experience has instilled is that in teaching public speaking it is easy to play a part in making over-instruction the bane of modern education, as Professor A. M.

Download or read book Modern American Speaker written by Edwin Du Bois Sburter and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American Speaker: For School and College Students, Lawyers, Preachers, Teachers and All Interested in the Art of Public Speaking The selections in this volume have been collected during the past seven years while the compiler has been engaged in instructing college students along the lines of public speaking. Despite the deep-seated and perhaps well-founded prejudice among educators against so-called "elocution," it is generally conceded that some sort of training in public speech should be afforded students in the higher institutions of learning, as a preparation for professional life and the duties of citizenship. In the earlier stages of the training of the young speaker, practice in giving expression to another's thought has its value, if directed along right lines. It should be thought adapted for presentation to a present audience, and hence on a subject of present interest. This need has furnished the controlling principle in making the selections herein, culled from a large mass of material. Some "old favorites" are included for purposes of ready reference and class drill; but the selections are for the most part from the productions of writers and speakers of the present generation, and on subjects of present interest and importance. A very large portion of the selections have never before been published in any "Speaker." Some partisan speeches are included, but an effort has been made to give each side an approximately equal representation. While it would be impossible to include in a single volume selections from all the prominent American speakers of to-day, still it is believed that the selections herein are fairly representative, and will furnish suggestive examples in the study of present day oratory. When used for declaiming, most of the selections will not require more than five minutes in delivery; and by the omission of a paragraph or two, when required, they can all be brought within such time limit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Speaking, as Taught in Yale College The topics discussed in the present volume, have all met with the cordial approbation and sympathy of the students, and notwithstanding the failure of success in respect to the others, the instructor has had the satisfaction of knowing, that though occupying a situation of no official rank or authority, and yet one in which from the very nature of the subject taught, the modest and difiident must be brought forward and protected, and those whose example or conduct obstructs their own and others' improvement must be checked, and if necessary sternly rebuked, he has never to his knowledge made a personal ene my or caused the governing faculty any trouble. It has been by the manifestations of kind respect on the part of the stu dents, that he has been encouraged in carrying into action the principle that faithful are the wounds of a friend. Young men feel that among those whose example does not entice them to immorality, they can have no worse enemy than he who de frauds them of that part which it is his duty to afi'ord them, of the highest of earthly blessings, education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years of School and College English The papers in this pamphlet are republished as a contribution to the discussion provoked by the reports which were presented in 1892 and 1895 to the Board of Overseers of Harvard College by the Committee on Composition and Rhetoric. Each paper was written independently; the author of each was, at 'the time of writing, charged with the duty of reading the examination books in English produced by candidates for admission to Harvard College. The first paper, Oopies of which were sent by the College authorities to the masters of over two hundred and twenty schools, was published only five years after an examination in English composition was for the first time prescribed for admission the last, after examinations in that subject had been going on for nearly twenty years. Taken together, the five papers show a remarkable agreement both in facts and in inferences and both facts and inferences tend to sustain the general conclusion reached on independent grounds by the Committee of the Board of Overseers - the conclusion that the Secondary Schools need to pay more attention to English.
