Excerpt from book: PITCH. 35 Section VI.?Modulation. Modulation is the act of varying the voice in reading and speaking. Among its more important divisions are Pitch, Force, Quality, and Kate. Pitch. 1. Pitch refers to the Tcey-noCe, of the voice?its general degree of elevation or depression, in reading and speaking. We mark three general distinctions of PitcJi: High, Moderate, and Low. 2. The High Pitch is that which is heard in calling to a person at a distance. It is used in expressing elevated and joyous feelings; as, Go ring the bells, and fire the guns, And fling the starry banners out; Shout Freedom till your lisping ones Give back their cradle shout. 3. The Moderate Pitch is that which is heard in common conversation. It is used in expressing ordinary thought and moderate emotion; as, The morning itself, few people, inhabitants of cities, know any thing about. Among all our good people, not one in a thousand sees the sun rise once in a year. They know nothing of the morning. -Tticir idea of it is, that it is that part of the day that comes along after a cup of coffee and a beef-steak, or a piece of toast. 4. The Low Pitch is that which is heard when the voice falls below the common speaking key. It is used in expressing emotions of reverence, awe, and sublimity; as, 'Tis midnight's holy hour, and silence now Is brooding, like a gentle spirit, o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark on the winds The bells' deep tones are swelling;?'tis the knell Of the departed year. Exercise On Pitch. Select a sentence, and deliver it on as low a key as possible; then repeat it, gradually elevating the pitch, until the top of the voice shall have been reached; when the exercise may be reversed. So valuable is this exercise, that it should be repeated ...

"I'M GOING TO."- PART I. Once upon a time, there was a little boy, whose name was Johnny. "Johnny," said his mamma, one day, "will you bring me an armful of wood?" "Yes," said Johnny, "I'm going to"; but just then he heard Carlo, the dog, barking at a chipmunk over in the meadow, so he ran off as fast as he could go. Now this was not the first time that Johnny had said to his mamma, "Yes, I'm going to." He never thought of that wood again until about dinner-time, when he began to feel hungry. When he got back, he found that dinner was over, and papa and mamma had gone to ride. He found a piece of bread and butter, and sat down on a Large rock, with his back against the stump of a tree, to eat it. When it was all gone, Johnny began to think what he should do next. He closed his eyes as people are apt to do when they think. Presently he heard a score of voices about him. One was saying, "Wait a bit"; another, "Pretty soon"; another, "In a minute"; another, "By and by"; and still another, louder than the rest, kept screaming as loud as it could, "Going to, going to, going to," till Johnny thought they were crazy. "Who in the world are you?" said he, in great surprise, "and what are you making such a noise about?" "We are telling our names," said they; "didn't you ask us to tell our names?" "No," said Johnny, "I didn't." "O what a story!" cried they all in a breath. "Let's shake him for it," said one. "No, let us carry him to the king," said another. So they began to spin about him like so many spiders; for each one of them carried a long web, and when that gets wound around a boy or a girl, it is a very difficult thing to get rid of. In a few minutes they had him all wound up-hands and feet, nose and eyes, all tied up tight. Then they took him among them, and flew away with him, miles and miles, over the hills, and up to a big cave in the mountain. There he heard ever so many more voices, and it was noisier than ever. "Where am I?" he said, as soon as he could speak. "O you're safe at home," answered Wait-a-bit, for he seemed to be the spokesman; "and they have been expecting you for some time." "This isn't my home," said Johnny, feeling very miserable and beginning to cry. "O yes, it is," said a chorus of voices. "This is just where such folks as you belong. There are many of your fellows here, and you won't be lonesome a bit." They had begun to unwind the web from his eyes now, so he opened them and looked about him. O what a wretched place it was! Against the sides of the cave, stood long rows of boys and girls, with very sorry faces, all of them saying over as fast as they could speak, "Going to, going to!" "Wait a bit, wait a bit!" "Pretty soon, pretty soon!" "In a minute, in a minute!" studying the names just as hard as if they were lessons. There were Delays, and Tardys, and Put-offs, with ever so many more; and in a corner by themselves, and looking more unhappy than all the rest, were the poor little fellows whose names were "Too late." Directions for Reading.-Pupils should read loud enough for all the class to hear them....
