Excerpt from Simplified Elocution: A Comprehensive System of Vocal and Physical Gymnastics The human family is expressly designed for action, both mental and physical, and is so constructed that to develope and continue the natural powers a certain amount of exercise is absolutely necessary. Every muscle in the body should be thoroughly trained and brought into subjugation to the will, so as to enable the speaker to perform any and every motion with as much ease and skill as he produces the different tones of the voice.
