cannot be taken literally when we recall the
harsh, nasal, snarling voices that so many per-
sons have. Love. SYMPATHY. majesty, god
like qualities are not expressed through the
human voice as a rule. That these qualities
are capable of cultivation in nearly every voice,
is now accepted as all axiom and it is the prov
nce OF elocution to restore these lost chords, to
re-tune the harp whose strings are rusted and
broken. AS an earnest worker in this broad
field Mrs. Preece is recognized as power by
every one with whom She comes in contact.
Her work in st. Louis before her marriage is
still felt.
Students that do not enter school at
the opening of the next term and get the
benefit OF Mrs. Preece's instruction will
deeply regret it when they find what
they have missed. Apply for a seatnow
