Before the churchman left

Theory And Art Of

Words, " says one, referring
to articulation should "be de.

tiful coins newly issued from the
mint, deeply and accurately i'm,
pressed, perfectly finished, neat
ly struck by the proper organs
distinct, in due succession, and
Of due weight"
Grace in eloquence, in the
pulpit, at the bar, cannot be sep
arated from grace, in private
life, in the social circle, in the
family. 1t can not be superinduc-
ed upon all the other. acquisitions
Of youth. Begin, therefore the
work of forming the orator with
the child, not merely by teaching
him TO declaim, but what is Of
more consequence by. ''observ-
ing" and correcting" his daily
manners, motions, and attitudes.
In schools for children, it ought
to be a leading object to teach the
Art Of Reading,
fought to occupy "threefold
more time" than it does. The
teachers of our schools should
labor to improve themselves.
They should feel that to them, for
a time, an committed the future
