The School Speaker and Reader (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The School Speaker and Reader

The reaction against oral reading in our schools was wholesome. Time thus spent had come to be sheer waste. If getting words out of a book into the mind, and out of the mind into the air, is reading, then, the rudiments once mastered, the less of it the better. To cut down the time allotted to such formalities, and give it to nature study or history or algebra or French, was so much clear gain.
