Excerpt from Essentials of Public Speaking: For Secondary Schools
But skill ih speaking is still more valuable as a means of persuasion. The time will never come when people will not flock to hear men plead causes of vital interest. There will always be a demand for those who can speak well, for business interests require men who can present cases well in the courts. The effective jury lawyer will secure a much larger share of the business of the courts than the man of equal learning and high character who is not effective as a speaker. Leaders in committees, conventions, and other deliberative assemblies are almost invariably effective speakers, for it is a well-known fact that most of the important business of life is shaped by pithy, energetic, short speeches.
The testimony of the great orators is overwhelming in sup port of faithful and vigorous practice in the art of public speaking. Gladstone declares that time and money spent in training the voice and body is an investment that pays a larger interest than any other and Spurgeon says, I believe that every one Should train his voice and body, first, for the health it affords; second, for its educating effects' third, for the advantage it gives over others for usefulness. And Wendell Phillips, in defense of such training, a very important factor in his own education, declares that it is useless to waste words on any man ignorant of the vast power of agree able and eloquent speech in a republic.

Excerpt from Essentials of Public Speaking: For Secondary Schools
The growth of interest in public speaking in the secondary schools throughout the United States during the past decade has been phenomenal. The principal high schools and academies are not only supporting vigorous debating societies and oratorical associations, but are engaging in friendly contests in debate and oratory with their rivals. This has led to a demand for systematic instruction in the fundamentals of good reading and good speaking, and leading secondary schools, recognizing this demand, are establishing courses to that end.
The aim of the authors of this volume is to meet this need, to present sufficient instruction for practical purposes, and not to overburden the student with too extended discussions of the philosophy of expression. It has been the endeavor to discuss simply and to the point the essential elements of good delivery, to give short illustrations for applying the principles, and then to provide whole selections for practice. We have tried so to simplify instruction that the average teacher who has been chosen to do this work, whether he has had extended technical instruction or not, shall be able to acquire sufficient skill from the discussions contained in these pages to become of material service to young students of public speaking.
We have followed mainly our plan published in 1893 in the Practical Elocution, and we trust that this never and simpler treatment, designed for younger students, will add interest to the study of the elements of effective delivery, and inspire confidence in those who would acquire proficiency in the art of persuasive speaking.
