[phamicom-devel] System of arrangement of the vowel-elements

Ll be similarly modified. Special attention must be given to this also;
but if children invariably sing with pure tone, it must be very easy to
direct them into good vocal habits in speaking and reading. It is no
more necessary for children
to recite in that horrible, rasping tone sometimes heard,
than it is to sing with harsh
tone; and if the same principles are
applied to the speaking-voice as are herein given for the management of
the singing-voice, in so far as they may be applicable, this harshness
and coarseness may be
avoided. It is the pushed, forced tone in speech

or song that is disagreeable. If teachers will consign to well-merited
oblivion those two phrases, "speak up" and "sing out," and will,
instead, secure purity

and easy production of tone, with _distinctness of articulation_, they
will do wisely. Let us not hesitate to teach our pupils to know and to
feel that which is beautiful, and good, and true, that our schools
may promote the growth of good taste, and stand for the highest morality
and the best culture. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Errors and
