Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extempore Speaking, for School and College These words may well be heeded by every teacher of. Public speaking. How often do we find that the school or college graduate who has won prizes with memorized orations is handicapped in the actual contests of after life, when he finds that memorized speeches will not always avail him. On the other hand, his classmate who failed to win prizes with set speeches, but who has learned to think on his feet, carries causes and wins verdicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extempore Speaking, for School and College This book, the result of practical experience in the class room, has been prepared to supply a treatise on extempore speaking, primarily for school and college students. The general principles of the science and art of extempore speech were fully treated by Quintilian and others in ancient times, and are also set forth in such modern books as Bautain's "Art of Extempore Speaking," Pittenger's "Extempore Speech," Buckley's "Extemporaneous Oratory," Thomas Wentworth Higginson's "Hints on Writing and Speech-Making," and Brander Matthews' "Notes on Speech-Making." While these authors have been freely consulted in the preparation of this book, their treatises are not adaptable for use as text-books. The present volume aims to present the subject in a manner adapted to the needs of both teachers and students, by reclassifying principles and methods, making the methods as specific in treatment as possible, and by adding, at the end of each chapter and in the Appendix, suggestions and topics for class exercises. A large number of modern speeches have also been incorporated, in order that there might be no lack of illustrative material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School and College Speaker This book is designed for the use of classes in Public Speaking in colleges and secondary schools. It seeks to give instruction in the essentials of Elocution, and to furnish declamations adapted to school and college boys and girls. In compiling these declamations I have sought those which furnish exercise in the various elements of expression and at the same time appeal to students, - those which present a vivid picture, tell an interesting tale, deal with a concrete situation, or advocate principles and policies fervently and eloquently. Many of these selections are new; they deal with live subjects; a large number of them have never before been printed as declamations. Nearly all of them, however, have been tested in prize-speaking contests and classroom work in Bowdoin College. To encourage the wide reading that is essential to intelligent and appreciative speaking, I have given in nearly all cases definite references to the whole speech, oration, poem, or story from which the selection is taken. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to many of the authors of these declamations for valuable suggestions, and to the publishers mentioned in the prefatory notes for generous permission to use copyrighted selections.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Extempore Speaking The above represents a noble and inspiring conception of the speaker; to say anything further on that phase of the subject would, I am afraid, be in the nature of an anti - Climax. But such a point of View is not calculated to minister to the requirements of the great body of students, teachers, lawyers, doctors, businessmen, and Simia lar everyday people who will never have occasion to scale the heights of eloquence, but who often need to express their ideas clearly, forcefully, and attractively to their fellowmen. It is to such that the following pages are addressed. The material used represents, in the main, a condensation and arrangement of the notes and criticisms which the writer has found most helpful to classes during ten years devoted chieﬂy to helping men - students, business and professional men - to develop their ability to Speak effectively. One of the convictions which this experience has instilled is that in teaching public speaking it is easy to play a part in making over-instruction the bane of modern education, as Professor A. M.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Speaking: For Normal and Academy Students A textbook on the 'art of expression, to be useful to Normal or Academy students, must be simple and practical. Their need is not to absorb an ambitious system, but to learn how to grasp a writer's full meaning and then to express it to the audience exactly, vividly, and forcibly, in a manner natural and easy to themselves, and pleasing to the listeners. In selecting a textbook the teacher must usually choose either a book of selections which outlines no course, and suggests no method, or a book that sets forth a system which one can scarcely use unless he has studied under the personal direction of its author. The writer believes that a textbook on Public Speak ing ought to be as usable as a textbook on Arithmetic. The subject-matter should be so arranged that the student can be assigned definite work, and know how he is to study each lesson. This book attempts to supply that need, and is intended to be intelligible and suggestive to teachers that are not professional elocutionists. For more advanced study the student is referred to Principles of Vocal Expression by Chamberlain and Clark. I should count it great success to do for the pupil in Normal School and Academy what my friend and teacher, Dr. Chamberlain, has done for the College Student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading and Speaking: Familiar Talks to Young Men Who Would Speak Well in Public; Designed as a Text-Book for Colleges and Higher Schools, and Also for General Use This collection of suggestions to would be speakers consists of most informal talks on matters of importance to all young men; for we are a nation of speech makers. Wendell Phillips used to say that as soon as the Yankee baby could sit up in his cradle he called the nursery to order, and proceeded to address the house. There are some rules in the book, but they are those which my experience has taught me ought to be known by every Speaker; and as there are not so many as to be burden some, I trust that they may be learned by every young man who has this book. I have put upon these pages suggestions not usually found in print. Some of them may seem trivial; but I have been making them to students in the class-room over and over again. Why not print them? I do not Claim any originality, or to say what has not been said in one way or another by many teachers. In deed, there is no new road to successful public speaking. But I have tried to group together, in small compass and convenient form, suggestions, rules, hints, encouragements, warnings, examples, illustrations, all having bearing on the noble art of oratory, and all likely to be helpful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Speaking: As Taught in Yale College The topics discussed in the present volume; have all met with the cordial approbation and sympathy of the students, and notwithstanding the i'ailure of success in respect to the others, the instructor has had the satisfaction of knowing, that though occupying a situation of no official rank or authority, and yet one in which from the very nature of the subject taught, the modest and difiident must be brought forward and protected, and those whose example or conduct obstructs their own and others' improvement must be checked, and if necessary sternly rebuked, he has never to his knowledge made a personal ene my or caused the governing faculty any trouble. It has been by the manifestations of kind respect on the part of the stu dents, that he has been encouraged in carrying into action the principle that faithful are the wounds of a friend. Young men feel that among those whose example does not entice them to immorality, they can have no worse enemy than he who de frauds them of that part which it is his duty to afi'ord - them, of the highest of earthly blessings, education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oral English and Public Speaking Oratory is that branch of public speaking wherein persuasion is effected through an appeal to the emo tions of the hearers. Extempore Speaking, or oral composition, is that kind of public speaking wherein the speaker forms the language for the expression of his thought at the moment of its delivery. In extempore speaking the thought is outlined in advance, while impromptu speaking means no special advanced preparation either of language or of thought. Argumentation is the process of trying to prove a given proposition as true or false. Argumentation may be oral or written. Debate is oral argumentation under conditions such that an opponent is present and waiting to reply. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Public Speaking, Vol. 1 The art of public speaking is one thing - eloquence is another. Often one hears successful examples of the former far removed from the latter. The mere ability to speak ﬂuently is not uncommon, but far more important than the mere ﬂow of language is the power of putting forward convincingly the views and Opinions which the speaker desires to impart. When to that ability is added the gift of polished and ﬂuent diction, the added attraction of real eloquence, then one has the orator, although there are singularly few in the present age who can truthfully lay claim to that distinction. By the very nature of things real eloquence must be a diminishing quantity, and the dominating factor driving to that end is the growing cult of unemotionalism broadening wide Spread down through the Universities and Public Schools to the great middle-class. To-day the appeal is to the intellect, to the reason of one's audience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
