Analytic Elocution: An Analysis Of The Powers Of The Voice, For The Purpose Of Expression In Speaking
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from The High School Speaker: A Collection of Declamations, Poetic Pieces and Dialogues, for the Use of Boys in Intermediate Schools and Academies Nothing tame will be accepted by a boy of this age. It is a great mistake to set him to commit any thing that has not genius and fire in it. This discourages him, and disgusts him with the exercise at the outset.

Edit Profileclergyman educator inventor author
Education
In 1830, Zachos was brought to America by Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe. He attended preparatory school at Amherst, Massachussets, and in 1836 entered Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, where he was graduated B. A. with honors in June 1840 and delivered the Greek oration for his class. From 1842 to 1845 he studied at the Medical School of Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, but did not take a degree.
Career
Zachos was associate principal (1851-1854) of the Cooper Female Seminary, at Dayton, Ohio, one of the editors (1852-1853) of the Ohio Journal of Education, and principal (1854-1857) of the Grammar School of Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio. In this latter position, which also involved the teaching of literature, he was associated with Horace Mann. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Zachos joined the Union army as assistant surgeon, enlisting under Gen. Rufus Saxton, and was stationed at Parris Island, Port Royal, South Carolina, being practically governor of the island. He had studied theology privately for some time, and when the war ended he was ordained pastor of the Unitarian church in West Newton, Massachussets. In 1866-1867 he was pastor of the Unitarian church at Meadville, Pennsylvania, and professor of rhetoric at the Meadville Theological School. From 1871 until his death he made his home in New York City. There he taught literature and oratory at Cooper Union, which he also served as curator. Especially interested in spoken English, Zachos produced several textbooks in elocution and oratory, including The New American Speaker (1851), Analytic Elocution (1861), A New System of Phonic Reading without Changing the Orthography (1863), The Phonic Primer and Reader (1864), and The Phonic Text (1865). In 1876, he patented a machine for printing a legible English text at a high reporting speed, having the types fixed in eighteen shuttle bars of which two or more might be placed in position simultaneously, the impression being given by a common plunger. He patented improvements on this device in 1883 and 1886. In 1876 Zachos published A Sketch of the Life and Opinions of Mr. Peter Cooper, which is still an important source, and in the following year edited The Political and Financial Opinions of Peter Cooper, with an Autobiography of his Early Life. Under the name "Cadmus, " he wrote Our Financial Revolution: An Address to the Merchants and Professional Men of the Country, without Respect to Parties (1878), and The Fiscal Problem of All Civilized Nations (1881). With a series of tests drawn up by an organization in Boston to determine the question experimentally, Zachos demonstrated that negroes were capable of benefiting by instruction. In the early sixties this was more than an academic question, and Zachos' stand is a tribute to his courage. He died at his home in New York City and was buried in Boston; three of his children survived him.

With firm faith in democracy and education, Zachos ardently believed that the privileges of both should be extended to all, regardless of color, race, or creed.
Connections
On July 26, 1849, Zachos married Harriet Tomkins Canfield, by whom he had six children.
