DESIGN OF THE SCHOOL

"Mend your speech a little, lest it may mar your fortunes."

-- SHAKESPEARE -- KING LEAR.

The primary object of our school is to teach Expression as an art or personal culture whether the aim of the student is public speaking, platform reading, teacher of the art, Lyceum or Chautauqua work, or merely grace and ease in private conversation.

The work in the courses being both educative and practical, it not only cultivates the intellectual and physical faculties, but the charm of personality which is so necessary in the successful man or woman in every vocation in life. Our training develops the mind and the body as well as the voice.

Our school produces teachers of Expression, Physical Culture, Literature, thoroughly competent to take positions in the best schools and colleges.

The result of this design, which includes all the most advanced educative ideas, is the success of twenty-two years of fruitful progress.
