Standard Selections for Declamation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. N o attempt has been made to interpret the selections. It is firmly believed that this should be done in the class-room, by a lesson in appreciation, which will precede the formal declamation. The teacher should also make sure that the background of the selection is possessed by all the pupils. Most of the selections are of such length that they should be divided among a number of pupils. It will be found that this tends to increase the interest, and at the same time the unity is not destroyed.
