My gratitude to publishers who have generously permitted the reprinting ofcopyrighted selections, I would here publicly express. To Little, Brown &Company I am indebted for the use of the extract called "Eloquence," whichis taken from a discourse by Daniel Webster; to Small, Maynard & Companyfor the poem "A Conservative," taken from a volume by Mrs. Gilman,entitled "In This Our World;" to the Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Company forthe poems by Mr. Burton; and to Longmans, Green & Company for the extractsfrom the works of John Ruskin. The selections from Sill and Emerson areused by permission of, and by special arrangement with, Houghton, Mifflin& Company, publishers of their works.

The quotations under the headings "Exercises for Elemental VocalExpression" and "Exercises for Transition," with a few exceptions, aretaken from "The Sixth Reader," by the late Lewis B. Monroe, and are herereprinted through the courtesy of the American Book Company.
