ADVANCED ELOCUTIONARY BOOKS

ADVANCED READINGS AND RECITATIONS By AUSTIN B. FLETCHER A.M. LL.B. late professor of oratory Brown University and Boston University School of Law This book has been already adopted in a large number of universities, colleges, post-graduate schools of law and theology, seminaries, etc. $1.50

“Professor Fletcher’s noteworthy compilation has been made with rare rhetorical judgment, and evinces a sympathy for the best forms of literature, adapted to attract readers and speakers, and mould their literary taste.”—Professor J. W. CHURCHILL, Andover Theological Seminary.

THE BOOK OF ELOQUENCE A collection of extracts in prose and verse from the most famous orators and poets By CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER $1.50

“What can be said that is more eloquent praise than that Charles Dudley Warner has carefully selected three hundred and sixty-four specimens of the choicest things from the world’s literature? If there is any subject untouched, we fail to discover it. It is a compendium of the world’s eloquence. It is useless to tell who is in here, for everybody is; and it is clear that Mr. Warner has made his extracts with great care. It has the most eloquence ever packed into twice as many pages.”

VOCAL AND ACTION LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND EXPRESSION New edition By E. N. KIRBY instructor in elocution in Harvard University $1.25

“This is a treatise, at once scientific and practical, on the theory and art of elocution. It treats of the structure of the vocal organs, of vocal culture and expression, of action-language, gesticulation, the use of the body and hands in oratory, etc. There is also a well-arranged collection of extracts for elocution. The work is well adapted for use as a text-book on elocution, and for study by professional students.”—Indianapolis Journal.

FIVE-MINUTE READINGS Selected and adapted by WALTER K. FOBES 50 cents

FIVE-MINUTE DECLAMATIONS Selected and adapted by WALTER K. FOBES teacher of elocution and public reader 50 cents

FIVE-MINUTE RECITATIONS By WALTER K. FOBES 50 cents

Pupils in public schools, on declamation days, are limited to five minutes each for the delivery of “pieces.” There is a great complaint of the scarcity of material for such a purpose, while the injudicious pruning of eloquent extracts has often marred the desired effects. To obviate these difficulties new “Five-Minute” books have been prepared by a competent teacher.

“We have never before seen packed in so small a compass so much that may be considered really representative of the higher class of oratory.”—Boston Transcript.

ELOCUTION SIMPLIFIED With an appendix on Lisping, Stammering and other Impediments of Speech By WALTER K. FOBES graduate of the “Boston School of Oratory” Cloth 50 cents. Paper 30 cents

“The whole art of elocution is succinctly set forth in this small volume, which might be judiciously included among the text-books of schools.”—New Orleans Picayune.

EVERY-DAY BUSINESS, PRACTICAL NOTES ON ITS DETAILS

Arranged for Young People by M. S. EMERY
Price, cloth, 50 cents

An accurate knowledge of how to attend to the every-day affairs of a business life is, indeed, a most valuable possession. The requirements of modern business life are manifold and exacting, demanding technical information, and, besides, quite a degree of what may justly be termed “cultivation.” This valuable and indispensable book covers a wide range of information of much importance, and is designed as a text-book for schools, and for ready reference for young people and those who need such instruction as it contains. It treats in an attractive and clear manner subjects which bear on every-day callings, like “Letter-writing,” by which so large a percentage of business is conducted; “Bills, Receipts, and Accounts;” “Post-Office Business,” with instructions regarding late advantages and scope of accommodation; “Telegrams,” “Express Business,” “United States Money,” “Savings Banks,” “National Banks,” “Bank Checks,” “Notes and Drafts,” “Mortgages,” “Investment and Speculation,” “Taxes,” “Fire Insurance,” and “Life Insurance.” These are topics conveying a general idea of the worth of the book—topics about which business men must know, and covering that which they who would be business men must learn. Keeping relatively abreast of modern methods, the educators of our day see the necessity of imparting business knowledge, as well as that which is purely scientific, historical, or literary in its nature; hence, the adaptability of “Every-Day Business” to the necessities of American schools and our progressive ways of life.

AN HOUR WITH DELSARTE

A STUDY OF EXPRESSION, by Anna Morgan, of the Chicago Conservatory. Illustrated by Rosa Mueller Sprague and Marian Reynolds, with full-page figure il­lus­tra­tions, 4to, cloth, $2.00.

“This beautiful quarto volume presents the ideas of Delsarte in words which all may understand. It is explicit and comprehensible. No one can read this book or study its twenty-two graceful and graphic il­lus­tra­tions without perceiving the possibility of adding strength and expression to gestures and movements, as well as simplicity and ease. Mr. Turveydrop went through life with universal approval, simply by his admirable ‘deportment.’ Every young person may profitably take a hint from his success, and this book will be found invaluable as an instructor.”—Woman’s Journal, Boston.

“‘Flexibility and grace’ are the watchwords of this great teacher, and it must be conceded that the charming young ladies who serve as models throughout the book have their share of these two desiderata of expression; this book gives an altogether charming insight into Delsarte’s system, and no young lady who desires to acquire ease of manner and grace of carriage could do better than to read it carefully. The style is quite in keeping with the subject, light, graceful, and entertaining.”—American Stationer.

METHODS AND AIDS IN TEACHING GEOGRAPHY

By CHARLES F. KING A.M. Head-master of the Dearborn School Boston Price $1.60 net

“This is a work independent of any geography, and may be used by teachers equally well with any of the authorized text-books. The numerous il­lus­tra­tions in this volume are of a practical nature, being generally diagrams, charts, and simple devices, such as a teacher may easily draw upon a blackboard to illustrate the teaching of geography, and the book will be received as an excellent addition to the aids which modern instructors desire in their work.”

CHIPS FROM A TEACHER’S WORKSHOP

By L. R. KLEMM Ph.D. late Superintendent of Public Schools Hamilton Ohio Cloth $1.20 net

“This work is among the first we have ever seen that puts the young teacher on the right track and keeps him there through all the departments of his work. It is throughout based upon common sense. It teaches principles, but the principles are always presented concretely in a form to be understood. This is really the teacher’s vade mecum. If it could be put into the hands of every instructor in our public schools, it would work a revolution in our methods of education and in the results achieved.”—School Journal.

Dr. Klemm has now in preparation, nearly ready for publication, his second volume, entitled “Chips from Educational Workshops in Europe.”

FIRST STEPS WITH AMERICAN AND BRITISH AUTHORS

By ALBERT F. BLAISDELL A.M. author of “Study in the English Classics” “Our Bodies and How we Live” “How to Keep Well” “Child’s Book of Health” Cloth 75 cents net

It is to study what great authors have written, and not what some one has written about them. Every thing is made subordinate to this great aim. In the first few chapters, the method of studying a given subject is fully explained and illustrated.”—True Education.

HOW SHALL MY CHILD BE TAUGHT?

Practical Pedagogy or the Science of Teaching Illustrated By LOUISA PARSONS HOPKINS Supervisor in Boston Public Schools Cloth $1.20 net

“The Boston Herald” says: “Mrs. Louisa Parsons Hopkins has made a careful study of the science of teaching, and her book will be of the greatest service to those who are engaged in the tasks of primary teaching. She is less didactic than experimental in her methods; but the points which she makes are those that lead to success, because they have been proved in the schoolroom, and have the authority of the great schoolmasters of modern times.”
