BOSTON EDUCATOR IS PLEASED WITH TOWN'S RECEPTION School of Expression and Dra matic Art Attracting Much Interest DR. LACOCK, PRESIDENT, IS GENUINE ARTICLE Strong Faculty Here With the School ? To Be Here Four Weeks From cultured Boston which is known in song and story "As the land of the bean and cod i Where the Cabots speak only to | the Lowells And the Lowells speak only to | God" comc a group of enthusiasts to con duct a summer term of their school in our midst. It is the "Boston School of Ex pression and Dramatic Art," and in talking with the distinguished presi dent he spoke of the royal and cor dial reception accorded himself and other members of .his faculty. Con tinuing he said, "Your people are wonderful. The moment w'e stepped off the train a welcome hand was ex tended to us by a hithertp unknown friend. We have received nothing but a round of.cordiality arid friendly interest and good will. You good people deserve to succeed. The whole environment of the place is itiost up lifting. I have been in hundreds of cities an dtowns, but I have never before seen such wonderfully paved. ( streets. Every one is so nice to usi, that I wish we were going to stay | four months in stead of four weeks." Dr. Lacock was a most intimate j t friend of the late Dr. Curry and was'tt for a time president of his school, ij whose principles of voice, vocal ex-j; pression, and harmonic training, the 4 Boston School of Expression and Dramatic Art follow. jl "Public speaking has come tp be [ such a universal thing today," said Dr. Lacock, "that there is no excuse for either a man or a woman to in flict an audience with poor diction, unbecoming stage appearance, or un- jv intelligible speech: arid this can be t learned in the better schools of ex- L pression, and learned well and ef- L l??ly. In other words, expression ? gives JffSsiUrvey of the fundamental ; principles^of . harmonious co-ordina- i? tion of the mirtd, body and voice. ( ; "Diction is essential to good 1 Bpeech and requires thorough vocal j j training. The World War brought , j out a lot of good and hidden talent. '1 V'This started an almost national | campaign for speakers and by that 1 1 mean a campaign to corral the best > speakers who could be found. Many ! a man and women discovered that , . with a little training he or she could develop into a really fine speaker and j 1 it is astonishing to know how many ;! have become students of expression j c since; then, realizing that an appear- ?; 5 ance on the platform needs ?oaching j1 and groomirig if a good impression | is to be made. Clear, enunciation, resonance, flexibility extempore and | impromptu address, in other wordg, i> "thinking on one's feet,' all these j requisites make up the effective and,c pleasing speaker." ! Cultured Group | ' Dr. Lacock is one of the mostj. widely and favorably known lectur- j ers in the country, his lectures on !, Washington, Lincoln, and Lee and Roosevelt illustrated by stercopticon I - slides being especially popular in j colleges, schools and clubs. His!( "Song Lectures" have attracted na- 1 j tion-wide attention and- one of hisj, critics has said: "Dr. Lacock is one of the lectur- (1 ers who started the country singing, ? for his illustrated lecture on patriot- ] , ic songs is one of the most novel methods of keeping the old-melody fires extant. . Pictures of songs, with the words at the bottom, are thrown upon the screen, and they just seem to sing themselves with the eye_ as well as the voice ? everyone joins in." : As an authority on parliamentary [ law, parliamentary practice and meth- [ ods of teaching, Prof. Lacock is well knewn. Ho is a graduate of Wash- 1 ington and Jefferson College and of Harvard University and he possesses ; a wide vision of all fields of expres sion and dramatic art. Associated with Dr. Lacock in his work are Prof. Harlan^ F. Grant, a graduate of the school and dramatic director. He is also a graduate of the ?Repertory Theater School, having had ."""""vfessional stage experience. _ Frances Howard, Cedartown, Ga., likewise a graduate of the school, T>nd during the past year head of the expression and dramatic department of the high school, at Saundersville, Ga., gives instruction in vocal ex- 1 pression and harmonic training.

Big Week to Be Deciding i Factor. Time Is Growing Short. "Second Payment" Con- j cession to Count Big With Wide Awake Candidates In Big ! Prize Race. Campaign Nearing Close. j -?\ukusi 4111. August 18th. Those arc the two l>if? dates in the nig Salesmanship Club in which the Chevrolet "Sport" Sedan and the Ford Tudor Sedan are included in :he $2500 prize list. On the first named date the Extra Voo Offer for $30 clubs expire. The other date is the end of the Drive. References to the calendar ivill show, that both will be here very shortly. The Club members who expect to > awn the classy new autombiles know , it too. That is why they arc show- j in^ speed and hustle as never before. ; Every effort is now being centered , on the big offer which ends Saturday , night, as everyone realizes the ur- 1 pency of getting votes now to fur- j ther enhance their winning possibili tes at the end of the club. Their one big chance to drive home a victory in the big Salesmanship Cluli ? is the last club offer of the race and after next Saturday it will be a thing of the past. 'lhe fact that this is the last op portunity club members will have to secure extra votes for $30 clubs, has *tirred up a whirlwind *f action hereto unrecorded. Club members are giving a vigorous account of themselves with the result that the vote scores are going upward more, rapidly than at any time since th prize race began. The special offer is this: IIO.OOO EXTRA VOTES will be credited on each and every club of $:?o worth of subscriptions turned in by members this week. This offer is very brief and only two more days are allowed in which to get such great v*>te val ue for the subscription0. All sub scriptions apply on- the big offer, and more than one club can be secured and turned in by a member. In fact the more clubs on.- s.'v.ir i> ter hi- or her rham ? f ?li,;v ?g <-r. tlv very Ivs t automobiles be t nwi-s.

There has I been a remarkable Speeding up dur- I ing the past week and the majority ' of. the members are just now "hit- j ting their stride" and from now on | the elub will go forth with great en- ! thusiasm. "Second Payraenti" "Second payments" are proving a very alluring key to high standings. J and all members who have secured i short term subscriptions should make | it a point to induce these subscrib- i ers to make another payment and I thus extend their subscriptions for I a lunger period. Here's the Way It Works A person who has given a twelve i months', subscription and then gives a member another payment, thereby ! extending their subscriptions for j longer times, gives this member a' big lift as the member will recaive I the additional votes and thereby se- I curing as many votes upon the addi- i tional payment as they would have ] secured originally. Take a $2.00 twelve months' sub scription. for instance, upon which the member has already received 2,000 votes. Giving the member an other $2.00 subscription extends the subscription's time to 2-1 months and stives the club numbers ,'$,000 differ ence in vote and Carrie's the r xtr-i votes undev which the first, sulxci tion eair.e in.

It is readily x-'ju that a member who is alert to the siluMion ait, I really means bus iness* will canvass every one of thbsc who bivve given subscriptions pre viously and get another payment, thereby securing a far gr.ater ? i. .. .ni ..f vote- f">r the "? ?oi > become effective about the lii-.-t of September.
