Elocutionary training is essential. Daily drill in deep breathing, articulation, pronunciation, voice culture, gesture, and expression, are prerequisites to polished speech. Experienced public speakers of the best type know the necessity for daily practise. The mental training of the public speaker, so often neglected, should be regular and thorough.
He could not have been anything else he had jet buttons on his evening clothes. There was the young woman she had elocutionary talents, it turned out afterward, and had graduated with honors from a school of expression who assisted in getting up the ship's concert and then took part in it, both of those acts being mistakes on her part, as it proved.
"The little man's fable," exclaims my father, swinging his lantern which he has taken again from Jean. A deep silence ensues, and the poor child, whose debut in the elocutionary art it is, suddenly loses countenance. He casts down his eyes, blushes and takes refuge in the arms of his mother, who, stooping down, whispers, "Come, darling, 'A lamb was quenching'; you know the wolf and the lamb."
Attacks of sore throat due to improper methods of breathing and of using the voice should be treated by judicious elocutionary exercises and a system of vocal gymnastics, under the direction of proper teachers. Persons subject to throat disease should take special care to wear suitable underclothing, adapted to the changes of the seasons.

Mackay displays himself the master of a style marked by all the characteristics of the best rhetoric. He has a keen sense of rhythm and of general balance; his verse is excellently sonorous, and would lend itself admirably to elocutionary art.... Its main merit is its "long resounding march and energy divine." Mr. Mackay is full of enthusiasm, and for the right things.
Monty Scruggs, the incipient lawyer, who was proud of his elocutionary talents, had vociferated at the woods they were passing, "Rienzi's Address to the Romans," "The Last Sigh of the Moor," "Absalom," "The Battle of Waterloo," and similar staples of Friday afternoon recitations.
The justice of this criticism will be acknowledged by those many persons whom Mr. Bright's great elocutionary skill has occasionally deluded into imagining that the very commonplace verse which the famous orator has been often known to quote with admiration is poetry of a high order.
The first Wednesday after our party, I was absent from the elocutionary exercise; but the second came round, and I took my place as usual beside Helen. "This will be Mr. Somers's first and last appearance on our stage," she whispered; "some whim prompts him to come to-day." He delighted Dr. Price by translating from the Agamemnon of Æschylus.
