Excerpt from Third Book of Rational System of English Grammar: Designed to Enable One to Understand and Use the Prepositions With Perfect Accuracy; Including English Style, Simplified by the Author
Much importance should be attached to the teacher's skill in his own language. The instructor who is without a critical acquaintance with the English language, 18 without that knowledge which every child should acquire at school. It Is hoped that the time will soon come, when no one will be encouraged as a teacher of youth, who does not even in his daily conversation, speak the English language with propriety. Every teacher should articulate distinctly, and pronounce according to the sanctioned standard of orthoepy. He should select his words by the rules of rhetoric, and form them into sentences by the laws of grammar. As the teacher of youth sets examples in speech, which his pupils will generally follow, how important it becomes to encourage those persons only, who use the language with grammatical precision, and rhetorical purity.
