Clarence Stratton

Clarence Stratton was a writer and educator whose books focused on public speaking and dramatic expression. A 1920 edition of Public Speaking identifies him as "Director of English in High School, Cleveland," suggesting that much of his writing grew out of direct teaching experience.

His books include Public Speaking and Theatron, and they show a strong interest in speech as both an everyday skill and a performance art. Instead of treating speaking as something only gifted people could do, he presented it as a discipline that could be studied, practiced, and improved.

Reliable biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I could confirm. Even so, the surviving record of his publications points to an author who helped shape practical instruction in English, speech, and dramatics during the early 20th century.
