TR AIGHT TALKS
WITH BOYS AND MEN
A GOOD VOICE
BY DIR. MADISON c.

Open your mouth and articulate dis
tinctly.
To speak we'll you must have good
teeth The money spent with a good
dentist always brings big dividends.
Be cheerful. If you are a croaker.
you will have a croaking voice.
Be sure of your pronunciation.
Though the English Language contains
something like 10000 words. yet even
few of the best writers ever use more
than 5000 words, although Shakspere
used 10000 Few men today need a
vocabulary of more than 1000 words.
You can master the necessary 1000.
Buy n Dictionary.
Buv a good dictionary. Your pro-
nnuciation jars the nerves and CRATES
the ear. Many a lawyer has lost his
case through Ignorance OF language.
Many a preacher has lost his influence
by INSTRUMENTATION.
Correct speech often proclaims a
mans character. Errors proclaim low
intellectually
Good language suggests good breed
ing and careful training.
Chesterfield acquired his polished
style by making note of every fine ex-
preston he met with in his reading.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-02-05

THE voice has a commercial value.
That value can be increased or
lessened according to the pains
taken to acquire graceful speech
When Cicero consulted the oracle at
Delphos, concerning what course of
studies he should pursue. the answer
was: Follow nature" But few of us
are natural by nature. and even natural
defects may be overcome.
Demosthenes was a sufferer, yet by
persistent practice he conquered his
misfortune and became the most force
fui speaker of his age
Curran, the most eloquent and loren
sic speaker of his day and the orna-
ment of the Irish bar, was. az the be-
ginning Of his career, styled by his col
leagues, Suffering Jack"
Read Aloud.
To have a good voice you must keen
your body healthy and strong. the
muscles well developed. the nerves
nourished. the mind clear and filled
with noble thoughts
You can be your own teacher and

Many persons are now making con-

few who do know, I will confide to you
that up to few weeks ago what presi-
