Synopsis
Excerpt from Public Speaking Principles and Practice
Much that might have been kept for the Preface, and thereby safely hidden from students, has been set down in the Introduction and in other parts of this book. There remains only what I wish to say to my own tribe, - the teachers of public speaking.
This volume is an outgrowth of a booklet published in 1911, entitled Notes on Public Speaking. My purposes in publishing that hasty and incomplete work were two: to try out the material on my own classes, and to draw opinions from other teachers. I have been more successful in regard to the first purpose than in regard to the second; yet the responses from teachers to whom I sent the Notes were of a character to aid me materially in preparing this more ambitious work, and in gaining courage to believe the necessary effort worth while.
The scope of the book is indicated by its title; or would be were it not for the fact that the term public speaking is now being stretched to cover all oral expression. At any rate, I treat here of practical public speaking, and consider within the scope of this book whatever pertains to preparing and delivering one's own speech. Whatever in this text pertains to interpretation is introduced chiefly for its bearing upon the training of practical public speakers; and I have taken a broad view of what does bear upon such training.
The field is too large for complete treatment in one volume of convenient size.
