Buck hasn't any love for us since we fur

READING ALOUD,
A Branch of Education That Is yery
Much Neglected.

A Branch of Education That Is Very
Much Neglected.
Too little attention is paid NOWADAYS to
the superior advantages to be gained from
correct reading aloud In the schools this
highly necessary branch of education is too
often considered so simple as not to require
any attention, and the practice of reading
aloud in the home circle has gradually given
way to what is considered moro elegant
recreations, but the truth is that it is an ac-
complishment far more indispen sable than
almost any other, for 1t Is known method
OF avertlng consumption or entertaining
ones friends, and OF showing the true quail
ity Of the mind. 1t is one of those exercises
which combine mental and muscular effort.
and hence has double advantage,
To read aloud well one should not only
understand the subject, but should hear his
own voice, and feel within him that every
syllable is distinctly enunciated. Every
public speaker ought to know whether he
is distinctly heard by the farthest auditor
In the room; if he does not it is because he
does not understand the proper use of the
voice. Reading aloud helps to develop the
lungs just as singing does. The effect is to
induce the drawing of long breaths oftener
and deeper than it Is done in reading with
out enunciating. These deep Limitations
never fail 10 develop the capacity of the
lungs In direct proportion 10 their practice
