Synopsis

Excerpt from Effective English

Effective English is a complete textbook in composition and rhetoric. The authors 'have produced a volume more practical and more attractive than others in this field.

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.
