Chalk Talk Made Easy

Chalk talk is nothing more nor less than the quick manipulation, or execution, of crayon sketches, pictures, or diagrams which illustrate to the observer the points which the speaker wishes to convey. The main secret in chalk talk lies in the fact that the audience sees the picture grow by every line, and their curiosity is aroused and they are constantly held in expectation till the final result. Many persons have held back from using the chalk and crayon because they have not known that the principles are within their very grasp, and principally for that reason the author desires to inspire each and every person who is interested, to develop this art. This book is not purposely intended for any particular vocation or class of people; but there seems to be a great need of it among Sunday-school teachers and workers with young people, as chalk talk affords many opportunities of impressing the youth with lessons of truth. - Introduction.
