Excerpt from The Fundamentals of Speech: A Behavioristic Study of the Underlying Principles of Speaking and Reading, a Text Book of Delivery
The excuse for a new text on this old subject is the growing democratization of instruction in speech. The academic worth of the subject is now unquestioned, with the result that new courses in speech-training are multiplying, from primary grade to university graduate school. This is as it should be; for in a democratic country too much attention cannot be paid to instruction in speech. No democracy could possibly exist without a maximum of effectiveness in public and private discussion among its citizens. To meet this democratic need for educating the masses in effective speech methods a new text finds justification in proportion as it emphasizes the need for carrying speech instruction to all kinds and conditions of men. This book, then, is offered as a statement of fundamentals that lead into any of the paths the subject may take: conversation, common reading, interpretation, impersonation, public speaking, dramatics, and the speaking we call oratory. Democratization of speech-training is its prime object. To accomplish this object it aims to incorporate whatever methods have heretofore found favor by virtue of the good results they have produced.
With this end in view it aims to offer speech-training for the whole man: body, voice, and mental mechanism.
