This book Is most eloquent testimony
against our whole prison system; 1t shows
how very little is accomplished. and how
widely the born criminal differs from the

Our whole system Is radically wrong.

criminal to be an ordinary human being

The Art of Eloquence

Every American youth if lie desires,
for any purpose, to get influence over
his countrymen in an honorable way,
will like to become a good public
speaker. That power is essential to
success at the bar. or in the pulpit,
and almost INDISPENSABLE to success
in public life The rare men who have
succeeded without it are the men who
value it most.
The eye and the voice are the only
man soul can enter into and subdue
another When every other faculty
of an orator is acquired ii sometimes
almost seems as if voice We're nine
tenths and everything else but one
tenth of the consummate orator. here
are exceptions, Of which Charles
James Fox, the most famous debater
that ever lived, is the most renowned.
But it is impossible TO overrate the
Importance of the orators purpose of
that natchless instrument, the human
voice In managing the voice, the
best tone and manner for public speak
ing are commonly those which the
speaker falls into naturally when en-
