marketable commodity, the following
suggestions are offered to amateurs and
beginners, who would ike TO follow the
new and natural method, for the great
point that this school makes is that in
telligenee is the best OF all guides:
"Nyith regard to the voice, speak
neither too loud nor too low, nor
too quickly nor too strongly. The key
which you adopt must be governed ac-
cording to circumstances; for instance, the
size OF the room and audience. Once de
ter,nined, it must never be changed, al
though it may be necessary to raise or
lower the voice at different passages
JuGicious use must be made of punctua-
| ton. Pauses of different lengths-like
rests in nuslc-are determined by comma
semicolon, colon and period The great
difficulty Is proper emphasis. The kernel
OF the art of reading lies here
Emphasis is Of two kinds; emphasis OF
sense, that determines the meaning, and
emphasis of feeling, controlled by emo
ton. The intelligence depends n the
| former; the sentiment and beauty of the
| Interpretation on the latter. Show ami
nation and interest in what you are do
asin. This makes one ridiculous and un-
| dignified, and neither circle of friends
nor audience can be suddenly raised
| to that unnatural delight. Follow nature
and avoid all exaggerations.'
| Anstey, in his amusing book, "Mr.
| Punchs Young Reciter" says: "On the
| platform everything is exaggerated, or 1t
will be mperceiyed; your audience ex-
| pect animation--eye in the most trivial
| situations. Endeavor then to impart the
| utmost fexibility to your facial muscles;
| practice eleyating each eyebrow inde-
| pendently of each other; roll your eyes
until they work with perfe ct ease In
their sockets, and train your lips to ac-
| quire elasticity OF gutta-percha. For the
| nose naughty expression of the nos

But the one Who isfIconstantly making
movements of his hands and arms SIM
ply to get them going is doing some
thing that detraets from his thought
Cultivation of the speaking voice is
just as necessary as cultivation of the
singing voice, therefore many technical
studies are necessary for the develop
ment Of the readers instrument. The
art Of breathing must be considered as
basis OF tone production, and then fol-
low the special exercises for carrying
power and pure quality. The hygiene OF
the vocal organs is study by itself that
is also insisted upon exactly as important

IN many respects the teaching of the new
elocutionissirDilart to the methodsin modern
music.
The vast ma ajority of people do not
read aloud intelligently, even if they
read inteilgihly. They have no ex-
preston, no feeling, and do not use their
voices properly. Consequently few per-
sons can read to circle of friends suf-
fieicntly well to give pleasure. Their
ear has had no critical training, their
emotions never sympatbize with the text
and their voice is dull and Inonotonous
As good elucution has the advantage of
being an elegant accomplishment and u
