The suggestions are no experiment. The principles have been demonstrated again and again, not only at the School of Expression, but through all the ages.

Many who have never attended the School of Expression have expressed a desire for the results which they have seen accomplished in the students of the School. This League has been organized and these books written to carry some simple exercises into the home and to the bedside of everyone, to bring the work and the spirit of the School to all.

Every method of training, in fact, every educational institution must be tested by direct application to everyday life. I have often said that the School of Expression is a state of mind rather than a place. This has been taken as a joke, but it was serious.

The endowment of the School of Expression which has been contributed by Sir Henry Irving and Prof. Alexander Melville Bell and others, is small. Our humble rooms, much as we love them, are inadequate. Anyone who looks at these as the institution makes a great mistake.

The greatest endowment of the School of Expression can never be localized; few can realize it. It is the loyalty, the fidelity to principles of those it has trained. The great work in life that these are doing, its methods, its exercises, and the use of these in all parts of the world, the help it has given and is giving is, in reality, its endow

ment.

These books have been written and presented to the School,-not merely to the Trustees, or to the Executive Committee, nor even to the graduates, but to all who have in any way shared in

what the School of Expression embodies. While these books have been written to increase the endowment, to erect a more adequate home,—a higher purpose is to increase the number of its friends, to widen the interest in its function in education and to allow all to share in the beneficial effects of its methods of training.

Last year someone went through the records to find out how many had been taught during one year and where they came from. It was found that three hundred and fifteen had been taught and these came from forty-three states and six provinces of Canada, and from two foreign countries. Perhaps no institution of its size reaches such a widely extended territory. The influence of the School is not small. It is a richly endowed institution if we take endowment in the true sense of the interest awakened in its work.

The aims of these books may be intimated as, first, an endeavor to reach all those who have been trained and inspire them to go forward, to continue faithful to their principles and their own work of self-development; to bring all these into a greater unity of endeavor; to make themselves feel a part of the little institution; to give them something that they can do, not only for the good of the institution, but of themselves and of the world; to reach those who know something of its work and give them the privilege of sharing in the benefits of the institution; and, last of all, to secure permanency, a more adequate home, and a larger endowment for this school which is considered the head-quarters for the advancement of an important department of education.

We have before us as a kind of objective motto -"$100,000 from 100,000 people." But we do

not ask this as a gift. We propose to give everyone who joins our League more than the worth of their money.

The price of the books, for example, is lower than is usually charged for such books. It is to be hoped that by the number sold we may add something from the net returns to the endowment fund. Some of us hold before us, also, a picture of a row of pennies one step apart extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico as a kind of mark for the little school which some regard as too small to write its name.

You, Reader, are invited to share in our endeavors. The money is not the main thing. We are endeavoring to improve voices, grace and ease of the body, flexibility of the mind, dramatic insight into the motives of one's fellow-men, and the stimulation of all those powers concerned in the sympathetic participation in the life of all the members of our race which bring greater satisfaction and success. Keep, therefore, the money part in the background, and endeavor to begin efforts to realize your own higher ideals and to awaken others at the same time to recognize the necessity of organization, of higher unity, of an objective embodiment of our ideals in a building, an endowed institution that will stand for a peculiar and unique work which has come to us and is for the good of mankind.

If you wish to join the Morning League send the names of at least ten persons who need the work, or who will enjoy being members of such a band, or who are interested in any way in our endeavors. Write me for information, and, if you wish, send the price of one or more of the books. Address
