READING ALOUD A LOST ART
The ait of loading aloud is being fiuuot-
Lten which may be Just as well at this tl iy
and age. vv nen mere weie many persons
who could not lead, and It was therefoie
necessary for those who could to lead aloud,
ths ait ptospered. People became adept
at leading nfoud. But now that eveiy one
can teiil for himself, and does lead for
himself, we have fotgotten how to lead
aloud; there Isn't one man hi a hundred
who can read an ordinary newspaper article
aloud so ms fellows will understand or ap
pi eclate It.
A public speaker makes a big mistake
when he undertakes to read anything of
length to,nn audience. He may be ever so
interesting when he Is talking, but the mo
ment he pulls a paper out of his pocket and
begins reading his audience falls to follow
him. He grows tltesome at once. And the
speech tlut has to be read well, it Isn't a
speech at all ; it is as dull and prosy, as
sleep-prqdueliig as the aernion that has to
be read. Columbus Dispatch.
