Excerpt from Enlarged Practice-Book in English Composition The reception given the earlier editions seems fully to justify the unusual emphasis placed upon drill in the correct use of words and the framing of sentences. These are days of care less, lawless speech; we must return to dictionary and grammar. Only through persistent drill in spelling, punctuation, and the building of sentences that are grammatically and rhetorically good can we hope to train our young people to speak and write with correctness and skill.
