Is a teacher to declaim
to provide a model for his audience, and will not
more profit be derived from the reading of Cicero or
Demosthenes? Is a pupil to be publicly corrected
if he makes a mistake in declaiming, and will it not
be more useful, and more agreeable too, to correct
some actual speech? For everyone has a preference
for hearing the faults of others censured rather than
his own. I might say more on the subject.
