sometimes make technical drill to meet individual cases, a
necessary supplement to the persistent practice in earnest
revelation of thought. But in ordinary cases the speaker's
endeavor to impress his hearers with the parts which make up his
discourse will result, in due time, in accurate, distinct
articulation. With continued practice this perfection of speech
will become habitual. Spirit moulds form; this law cannot be
overemphasized. In this new stage of the pupil's development, as
always, the desired result proceeds as an effect from an inner
psychological cause; it is a natural and spontaneous outgrowth,
rather than a dull and lifeless form.

refreshing influence.
