Cultivation OF the Voice.

1t has already been observed that the rea-
tive strength or weakness Of the voice de-
ponds partly on the capacity of the lungs,
and the general condition of the vocal appa-
ratus, aud partly on the number of muscles
thrown into action. Experience has also
proved that the respiratory organs and the
vocal muscles are not only as susceptible of
high degree of development as other por-
tions of our Frame but even to higher de-
gree 1he cultivation Of the voice is, how
ever required on grounds altogether irres-
pective Of the art of singing or public speak
ing. 1t is indirectly, perhaps, the most i'm
portant branch OF physical education; for
the amount of vital power depends chiefly
on the health and vigor of the respiratory
process the regulation of which must be the
first step in the cultivation of the voice.
Parents are not generally aware how much
might be effected by proper mode of physi-
cal training in those constitutions where the
chest is narrow, indicating predisposition
to pulmonary disease. In all such cases reg
ularl y repeated deep inspirations are of par
amount value. On account of the elasticity
of all the parts concerned, the. expansion of
the chest is in early childhood easily effected !;
the capacity of the lungs is increased, and
the tendency to disease counteracted
There should be a sufficient pause between
the acts Of inspiration and expiration. In
order that children should perform these
chest exercises slowly, regularly, and efcctu-
ally, they require to be carefully watched,
guided, and encouraged; for they soon get
tired when left to themselves. Even adults
will derive considerable benefit if, Immediate
ly after rising, they regularly, for some time,
take deep inspirations, in order that the whole
lungs may be properly inflated and then re-
tain the breath as long as possible. The
body must be in an erect position, and the
shoulders thrown back. 1t may also be OBJ.

So wide is the field Of its usefulness and so nu-
