Elocution

Elocution, the art of public speaking, was stressed in the curriculum. Speech delivery and gestures were emphasized in elocution lessons. Memorizing a short poem and delivering it would be an example of an elocution lesson.
Sayings
A penny saved is a penny earned.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Tongue Twisters
Two tired turkeys trotting to the trolley.

Verses
Remember Grant.
Remember Lee.
But to heck with them
Just remember me.

I love you bip.
I love you bop.
I love you better
Than a pig loves slop.
