advantages of a good delivery are admitted by all. If the subject of Elocu- 
tion Tvere thoroughly understood and properly taught, every graduate vrould 
speak so that an audience not only might, but must give attention. 'No 
eacher is qualified for his work, who cannot command the attention and 
control the actions of the pupils, by his tones of voice. No teacher is quali- 
fied for his work, who cannot read a selection in a pleasing and impressive 
manner, and give his reasons for so reading. The elocutionary analysis of 
thought, and the principles of expression, should be as familiar to the mind 
of the teacher, as the analysis of problems and the principles of Arithmetic. 
It is confidently claimed that students mastering the course in this depart- 
ment, will not only be qualified to teach children to call words without 
impairing the natural purity and beauty of the tone— to instruct youth to read 
appropriately and impressively, but to fill ably the chair of Elocution in any 
institution. This course, extending through four years, embraces daily 
exercise— (1) in breathing, designed to strengthen and develop the chest; 
(2) in phonics, to correct defective articulation ; (3) vocal culture, to develop 
and strengthen the tones ; (4) the practical illustration of each element of 
delivery, and its application to the various forms of thought and emotion ; 
(5) grouping, in all its forms and variety; (6) gesture, and the applications 
of its principles ; (7) style of utterance ; (8) public speaking. 
The following diagram presents in one view the principles as practiced, 
and the styles of utterance— the logical deductions from the principles :

Ehetoric is taught, not merely as a science, but as an art. Deference is sne- 
cially had to practical results. It is the aim to so conduct every recitation, 
^ written or oral, that ease, elegance and fluency of expression may be acquired. ^
