THE BASIS

Professor Corson's volume will bear rereading many times, for it is the expression of a philosophy of education; as to literature, rich out of all proportion to its written page.

THE OUTLOOK

The lesson that Professor Corson desires to teach is one which needs to be taught almost universally in this country.

THE NATION

It contains in a small compass much that deserves the attention of those who are teaching literature as well as the general reader.

The Voice and Spiritual Education

BY

Professor HIRAM CORSON

Cornell University

18mo     Cloth     75 cents

THE PRESS

He holds simply that one can't read well unless he appreciates well, and that a proper use of one's voice in reading aloud is an outward and audible sign of inward and spiritual grace. He writes earnestly and with the eloquent simplicity of a man who has something to say and has considered well how he shall say it.

THE BEACON

Educationalists who are progressive in their ideas should not fail to familiarize themselves with his suggestions; and in every family where culture is an aim this book ought to be a veritable source of inspiration.

THE BOOKMAN

We believe that if this little book were thoroughly studied the result would contribute to more good reading than we are accustomed to hear.

THE CRITIC

It is a little book with much sensible matter in it, which we most emphatically commend to the attention of all teachers of literature and elocution.
