concluded - tat these effects were necessa

any given weight, to the velocity of the

little less than the initial velocity.. When .
it was known that the rifled shots from,

Iskeleton. by the 'hints: 'ln ortlloCpy: it
may signify, in addition to its more geiter:
at meaning, the'proper,connection, in ut

Forinstante,fn the ; words,, ap- . pe-iile, siur-
erlior„, correct articulation directs us to
.pronfirince every syllable distinctly, ih- ,
stead of fusing the' second into tic first,
Land pronouncing the words as if written,
laptite, portior., Thus we see that icorrect 1
1 articulation . regulates the. enunciation of
syllables, and also letters, and directs us
I how to correctly pronounce them. ' -
h Says,a writer by ore nadte of - :Austin;
"In just articulation,N'the wordsiare not
hurried'over, nor. nielted together; they
are-
. neither abridged nor. prolonged;
they are not swallowed, nor are theyshot
from the mouth; neither are theyltrailed,
and then-suffered to. drop unfinished; but
they are delivered from thelips as' beauti

Every teacher; before attempting to
, impart instruction to their pupils upon the
art of good reading,'. should fully; tinder- I
stand that no person, without a clear and
correct articulation, can give proper effect ,
to language in itadelivkly. Svrifineas in
speech, which dropi some syllables and
utters °tints too faintly, is the ninst com
mon cause of 'imperfect articulation, It
must not, however, be understood that a
proper rapidity of .utterance is ineonsist- I
ent with distinctness. The oppoSite ex. , '
tfeme is a habit of undue precision; and of
fectation in enunciating, which is 411ite as . ;
offensive as the baste which confoutids.l
