Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Normal Reader
Elocution is the expression Of thought by word and action. In order to become a good reader three things are necessary: A good voice, A correct pronunciation, A eoroible expression. To Obtain a forcible voice is not difficult. Some say My voice is too feeble; I can never become a speaker. Should they lie in the shade one year without exercise or sunshine, they would have feeble muscles. Practice will give any one a voice of sufficient force to be heard clearly in any hall in the land. Go to work at once and acquire a good voice. Put the voice to its severest test. In balmy weather, go out in the groves and practice on a high key. Then on a low key. DO not be alarmed should you get hoarse the first time. Try again. If a person has not been accustomed to walking, the first few hours' walk will greatly fatigue him. But let him practice walking each day and he will become accustomed to it. Occasionally the race-horse is put to his severest test. So the voice must occasionally be tested. This will give the voice flexibility and ease.
The greater part of practice should be on a conversational key, but occasional practice in shouting tones will develop the voice rapidly. Many speakers find their voices harsh and uncontrollable at the beginning of an address, but at the close the voice is in fine condition. Much annoyance may be avoided by practicing on different pitches Of the voice for a half hour. The practice may be severe. Begin lightly and increase to shouting tones. The last part of the practice should also be moderate. This should be done one or two hours before the time for delivering the address.

Excerpt from The Normal Reader
In teaching elocution the author has felt the need of a book different from what he could secure. Many good books on theory are to be found. Choice selections are abundant. But to secure a book that contained proper exercises for drills, and also a variety of popular selections, is impossible. In order to select fifteen or twenty selections for a reading class, or an elocutionary contest, many books would have to be used. To meet this want this volume has been prepared.
In Part I. the author has given what he considers the best way to teach beginners how to read. Part II. gives a full discussion of Dictionary work. Part III. contains hints and suggestions to teachers of Beading. Part IV. is a full discussion of the elements of Elocution. Part V. contains the most popular selections now in use. Among them the entire programme of most of the popular elocutionists and readers can be found. The author has collected all grades and sentiments of recitations - Humorous, Dramatic, Oratorical, and Didactic.
The author desires to make grateful acknowledgments for the assistance he has received. Prof. V. A. Pinkley prepared all of Part IV., and is entirely responsible for the same. This part is a condensed elocution, and it will certainly do much to elevate the art of elocution. Prof. Warren McBroom, of Crawfordsville, Ind., prepared the chapter on Elementary Sounds. The article, How to Teach Reading, was prepared by S. E. Thomas, President of Kentucky University, Paducah, Ky.
That this book may aid teachers in their work is the sincere hope of the author.
