Her subject will be that most attractive of
lyceum lectures, 4" What shall we do with
our daughters Its delivery by this tai
ented and popular speaker has everywhere
elected the highest praise, and given entire
satisfaction. The Salem Register says:
Mrs. Livermores lecture, on What
shall We do with our Daughters? was an
appeal to the common sense, rather than to
the sympathy of the audience. 1t was clear,
logical. and convincing, pointing out many
errors in the present system of education,
and suggesting obviously -needed improve
ments. Although the selection of lecturers
and topics has been severely criticised by the
Institute audiences, the name of Mrs. Liver
more is always hailed with universal salts
faction
The Augusta Banner says:
No Dame can be announced that com
mands SO universal an attendance, and no
lectures are spoken of in SO high terms of
praise. Her lecture on, What shall we do
with our Daughters? p discusses vital CUES
tions, and in a manner that wins unbounded
applause. She holds her audiences-the
most Intellectual and fashionable, AS il
spell-bound, for two hours on a stretch, and
yet never wearyIng herself or her hearers
Unlike all other lecturers, she speaks entirely
extemporaneously, and yet without the least
hesitation or mistake, and with the utmost
ease and fiuency. All in all, she is most
remarkable woman"
The editor of the Terre Haute Mail, speak
ing from personal knowledge, says:
She is the most popular woman speaker,
without dOuhE N m and this
ing much for her, as feminine oratory has
its ablest and best representatives in this
country. She is scholarly and profound,
witty and sarcastic and, withal, she is COM
plete mistress of that higher kind of elo-
quence which stamps her as the born orator. y
