Excerpt from The Franklin Intermediate Reader: For the Use of Public and Private Schools The following exercises in articulation are designed for pupils as a daily discipline, during the entire time in which this Vol ume is used. Every reading-lesson should be preceded by an exercise in articulation, even though a short one. The sounds and words should be accurately and forcibly uttered, and especial attention should be given to such sounds as are liable to be perverted or suppressed. The importance of a thorough training in this department especially commends it to the attention of teachers.
