EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:-In your article of Friday on Elocution, 1 would suggest that you have neglected to make mention of a very important element in the making of a good speaker. I refer to that practical work which is of such great value in attaining all of the essentials of a finished orator; for there are but few professions in which there is so great advantage in early experience as in the law, to which your article chiefly refers...
