Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Academic Speaker Elocution has, for some years past, been an object of attention in the most respectable schools in the kingdom. A laudable ambition of instructing youth in the pronunciation and delivery of their native language has made English speeches a very conspicuous part of those annual exhibitions of oratory which do them so much credit. This attention to English pronunciation has induced several ingenious men to compile Exercises in Elocution for the use of schools, which have answered very useful purposes; but none, so far as I have seen, have attempted to give us a regular system of Gesture, suited to the wants and capacities of school-boys. Mr. Burgh, in his Art of Speaking, has given us a system of the Passions; and has shown us how they appear in the countenance, and operate on the body; but this system, however useful to people of riper years, is too delicate and complicated to be taught in schools. Indeed, the exact adaptation of the action to the word, and the word to the action, as Shakspeare calls it, is the most difficult part of delivery, and therefore, to say nothing of distracting their attention with two very difficult things at the same time, can never be taught perfectly to children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Speaker: A Selection of Pieces Designed for Academic Exercises in Elocution He has, therefore, studiously avoided all matter not applicable to the exercises in such establishments. His design has been to omit, as unsuitable for the practice of academic elocution, all pieces marked, in subject and style, by the extremes either of too juvenile a character, or those of formal, political declamation. The former always tend to cherish a feeble and puerile style of speaking: the latter produce a heavy and unnatural manner in youthful speakers.

Download or read book The High School Prize Speaker Classic Reprint written by William Leonard Snow and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High School Prize Speaker This is a collection of literary selections which have taken prizes at the J. Murray Kay Prize-Speaking Contest held annually for the last quarter of a century at the Brookline High School, together with other selections of equal merit which on these occasions have either won honorable mention or been received with especial favor by the audience. The interest which Mr. Kay took in establishing and maintaining these contests set a high standard of excellence, and no pains were spared by the school to make the selections and their interpretation the best possible. The committee of the faculty which guided the contestants in the choice of suitable pieces insisted first that the selection must be from the work of a good author; for it held that the amount of time spent by teacher and student in preparation for prize-speaking could hardly be justified if the selections themselves possessed little or no literary merit. The best literature has most fully the latent power to move the hearer, and waits only for the speakers art to become kinetic. Indeed, this power to grip and hold the audience which is native to our great masterpieces may be felt even when the reading is from the silent page. But prose or poetry which makes no strong appeal to our imagination, convictions, or sympathies, but savors of shallow sentimentalism, is not good literature and fails when put to the test before an audience refined in taste and critical in judgment.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School Speaker and Reader The reaction against oral reading in our schools was wholesome. Time thus spent had come to be sheer waste. If getting words out of a book into the mind, and out of the mind into the air, is reading, then, the rudiments once mastered, the less of it the better. To cut down the time allotted to such formalities, -and give it to nature study or history or algebra or F rench, was so much clear gain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Speaker: And How to Make One A-lo - NG preface to a small work is not desirable at any time. But as a second edition of this workis now called for, the author would say a few words on the occasion. He feels grateful to the publishers for their kind and Christian conduct towards him in his business transactions with them - to the reviewers for the straightforward and impartial manner in which they'have commented upon his work - and to the public generally for'the support which they have kindly given him. Since the first edition came out, some two months ago, he has thought much upon the subject of public speaking; but neither his own experience, nor his observation on the world around, has induced him to alter his 'opinion, or to retract anything which he at first adduced. Therefore, elision of former state ments, or alteration of a prior opinion, _the reader will find none. A chapter has been added on the memory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Century Speaker for School and a Collection of Extracts From the Speeches of Henry Cabot Lodge, Chauncey Depew A few of the extracts in this volume are from speeches delivered before the Civil War, but they will be found to have most noticeably the spirit and style which mark our public speaking to-day. The selections in general, however, are of comparatively recent date, and have to do with sub jects not only of present moment but of future interest. Most of the declamations, as has been implied, have been tested in our rhetorical exercises, and have proved to be a helpful means of cultivating a direct, vigorous, and attractive style of public speaking.
