IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

* * * * *

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

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

LELAND POWERS.
