HINTS TO PUBLIC SPEAKERS AND NocALIsrs.
A Lecture was delivered before the Teacae"
Association on Saturday evening llth inst OF
Dr. e p. b aiming, The Human P0ice-its
Culture and the Causes and Prevention OF Vocal
arrangements in Public Speakers and Singers
Long before the Lecturer commenced, the room
in Trustees Hall, corner Of Grand and Elm'sts.
was denseIy crowded by teachers and school,
officers with their families. Among those present
we noticed the County Superintendent ana se'e
raj members of the Board OF Education
The Lecture was as amusing as it was able ana
interesting. The Doctor went into somewhat OF
critical analy sis of tho Philosophy of the Human
voice-its origin, motive power, the vocal organs.
&c. The abdominal muscles were considered
the motive power, the lungs and throat the mere
conductor of the column Of air expirated. Tbs
chest should remain passive while speaking o.
declaiming and these muscles be brought into
active operation by the mere force Of the viii liz
was commended that there was no nece ssity what
ever for speakers to become hoarse before the
close OF an address, no matter how lengthy saos
address may be, if they will not violate the
plainest dictates of physiological principles -
well as of sound common sense, by assuming i'm
proper postures bending the body forward
cramping the chest and lungs thus torturing tho
lungs and particularly the throat, and bringing On
bronchitis and various other arrangements OF the
vocal organs lin connection with this, drch'teds

attitude becoming an honest mantle expanslsa
ofthe chest-the opening of the mouth, &c. would
enable healthy man to speak for hours wisnoM

ously illustrated by several examples from the
animal kingdom and among others the audience

and practical Lecture. BY invitation DR. b. is 10
