DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Modern American Speaker: For School and College Students, Lawyers, Preachers, Teachers and All Interested in the Art of Public Speaking The selections in this volume have been collected during the past seven years while the compiler has been engaged in instructing college students along the lines of public speaking. Despite the deep-seated and perhaps well-founded prejudice among educators against so-called "elocution," it is generally conceded that some sort of training in public speech should be afforded students in the higher institutions of learning, as a preparation for professional life and the duties of citizenship. In the earlier stages of the training of the young speaker, practice in giving expression to another's thought has its value, if directed along right lines. It should be thought adapted for presentation to a present audience, and hence on a subject of present interest. This need has furnished the controlling principle in making the selections herein, culled from a large mass of material. Some "old favorites" are included for purposes of ready reference and class drill; but the selections are for the most part from the productions of writers and speakers of the present generation, and on subjects of present interest and importance. A very large portion of the selections have never before been published in any "Speaker." Some partisan speeches are included, but an effort has been made to give each side an approximately equal representation. While it would be impossible to include in a single volume selections from all the prominent American speakers of to-day, still it is believed that the selections herein are fairly representative, and will furnish suggestive examples in the study of present day oratory. When used for declaiming, most of the selections will not require more than five minutes in delivery; and by the omission of a paragraph or two, when required, they can all be brought within such time limit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith piercing wit and perceptive analysis, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Kathleen Parker explores how men, maleness, and fatherhood have been under siege in American culture for decades. She argues that the feminist movement veered off course from its original aim of helping women achieve equality and ended up making enemies of men. The pendulum has swung from the reasonable middle to a place where men have been ridiculed in the public square and the importance of fatherhood has been diminished—all to the detriment of women and children, who ultimately suffer most. Exploring our burgeoning culture of permissiveness and the impact of anti-male attitudes on families and relationships, Kathleen Parker tackles some of the more taboo subjects in today’s sexual politics and culture wars that will have America talking about saving the males.
