Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Graduated Exercises in Articulation
The sets of exercises in articulation on the following pages were drawn up pri marily for the use of my own students, and are not intended to be practised at first without an instructor. The most superficial observer of our common speech cannot but be struck with the undue prevalence of slovenly articula tion, not only on the part of the younger generation, but also amongst those charged with the duties of teaching and public speaking. Our manner of speech, that most vital element of our education, has been allowed, as Mr. Henry James said in a recent address at Bryn Mawr, to run wild, to shift, as we say, all for itself, to stumble and ?ounder, through mere adventure and accident, in the com mon dust of life, to pick up a living, in fine, by the wayside and the ditch.
