Book Description
Excerpt from Effective English It is generally recognized that English is the most practical study in the schools, since it is constantly in use in every walk of life. The present volume goes further than other books in shaping the study of com position and rhetoric so that they will be an asset to the pupil on leaving school. This utilitarian aim is revealed throughout. The best literary models are used, but the work is essentially practical. Training in newspaper writing finds a place. There is a chapter on English to Sell. Letter writing, punctuation, and grammar are subjects which receive much attention. Oral English has the important place it de serves. The authors are not afraid of the term Business English, but recognize it as existing and as having a right to exist.
