(London).
Dr. l.. Alonzo Butterheld, who was born
in Wilmington, Vermont. was educated at
Wesleyan academy and Boston univer-
sity. He has devoted many years to
teaching elocution and oratory in theo-
logical schools normal schools and col
leges. and is considered to be one Of the
foremost authorities on modern methods
Of teaching these branches.
In the early part Of his professional
career he was a very expressive and en-
tertaining dramatic reader, but his tastes
and natural talents soon led him to de-
vote his time more especially to teaching.
While at Boston university, he became
associated with Alexander Graham Bell
in the department OF oratory. Prof. Bell
quickly recognized Prof. Butterfield $
genius and unusual ability and made him
an assistant. When Prof. Bell began to
devote his time more exclusively to the
invention OF the telephone. the greater
part OF the teaching in Boston university
fell upon Prof. Butterhed's shoulders
When Alexander Graham Bell and his
| father. Alexander Melville Bell. estab-
| lished the Boston school OF Vocal Physl-
| ology, it was for the purpose of technical
work. and to develop Visible Speech In
all its various applications. but more es-
| peciaHy in teaching the deaf and dumb to
| speak and in overcoming such defects OF
speech as suffering. stammering etc.
Prof. Butteried was given an invitation
| to become associate principal Of this
school with the idea that his assOcia-
| ton with Prof. Bell would give him an
opportunity to develop his own system
| Of voice culture on purely scientific
basis. he eventually took the princpalshir
and became a specialist In the profession
Such great demands were made upon
| his time to lecture before colleges and
| associations in different parts OF the
country that ne would have been unable
| to carry out his work 80 successfully had
| 1t not been for the assistance of Mrs
| Rutterfeld who has worked untiringly
and enthusiastically to assist in develop
ing and applying the IDEAS worked out
! by her husband
lie was enabled by his improved anc
scientific basis OF teaching to accomplish
in a short time that which heretofore hat
