Excerpt from How to Talk, or Primary Lessons in the English Language

The value of right formation as compared with reformation is nowhere more noticeable than in acquiring accurate and ready use of one's own language.

The systematic work of training children to speak correctly and to exercise care in the arrangement of their thoughts should be begun earlier than is now done in most courses of English. This belief has grown with close observation and careful experiment during twenty years of school supervision; it has been strengthened by criticisms of the literary and secular press on the results Obtained by the pres ent system, as well as by criticisms and suggestions of the educational press on the same subject; and it has been confirmed by the testimony of many superintendents of schools and teachers of English.
