to hlda tha truth In Ita atmpllolty.
' 'V-i "I think It la high time tht we
should have the use of our own voices
without prolonged atudy or hard work.

' the tone of Intelligence, and It has
to coma by way of tha physical form.
' We have but one voice. The body Is
the aervant of the mind when It la
not. It la of no tiae. I used to try
. to produce vole while holding my mind
on various muscles, dealing on tha er
fects aa though they were causes. This
'was not lawful, consequently I waa an

. "While working my way back to
lawful' course, I discovered that In or-
der to have free phyalcal action, I
must absolutely fife my mind from my
- body: that I must rot try to make

In her own way.
J ."Tha world Is beginning to wake up
to : tba unlimited power of the mind.
, Wa seek for tha voice life not death.
Deception must not take the place of
. the real. Voice training la to voice
straining what life Is to death.
"Many teachers say, begin with ma
' chan leal training of tha muscles for
breathing, and volca development, and
... then give the mind a ehanoe for ex

.."No. It Is tha mental adjustment first
It Is what and where to think, outside
tha body, la every walk of Ufa. In
throwing a stone at a mark tha mind
must hold and hit tha mark first . In
. walking a tight rope, tha mind must be
riveted on . the what and tha - where,

path to safety depends upon tha quick

red hot jump. Quick concentration of

point is to hold tha right object of
thought before the mind. This la the

; world Is thought foroe. On this basis
education becomes vital. It Is not one-

, "The vocal organs , are the natural
: servants of the concepts of the mind.
They respond to the mind, by an In
herent law of their own. There la no
law that governs the human voice, ex

"The earnest student will discover
that nature'a laws are as fixed In re
gard to voice culture aa they are In re
gard to chemistry. Perfect tona means
perfect poise. It has a center of bal
ance. Thla center, I term the tone cen

. centered, there can neither be repose
nor growth. At the center of the tone,
as at the center of the earth, there la
perfect repose; not flip repose of In
ertia, but of free activity. As the nu
cleus of a Beed Is the ftermlnal point
so the center of the tone, is the ideal
point from which all true voice de
velopment must start. This gives unity
