Excerpt from New Composition and Rhetoric for Schools 4. From the design of Part I it results naturally that some topics are treated twice in the book. The authors feel that in the practical study of an art this repetition i not only desirable, but even essential, in order that the young writer may be taught to consider again and again, under new aspects, the few old and rather obvious rhetorical truths. The application of these truths in new circumstances is the important matter. The aim of the authors in this particular has been to prepare a book for teaching, not a systematic treatise.
