Early Synthesis, A nalysis, re-invigorated Synthesis these are the steps, occurring in this order, on which the successful prosecution of any art depends. The Art of Expression forms no exception to the rule. While early Synthesis generally receives, in the home and in the school, an adequate attention, it frequently happens that the second step, of A nalysis, is either not attended to at all, or receives only a casual and unsystematic notice via the literature lesson. In such events, the synthetic progress of the student, while gradually improving, no doubt, as jears and reading advance, can never reach the high level it might attain were a definite course of analytic study undertaken, accompanied by abundant exercise of re-casting and re-rendering character. Such a course would bring many benefits. It would widely extend the scholars mere knowledge of the many devices, legitimate and practicable, which are employed in the written presentation of thought. It would quicken his sense of the beauty and the power of words as the instruments by which we both inform and move. It would sharpen his appreciation of the structural modifications through which clearness and emphasis and rhythm may be imparted to sentences. And the application of all this knowledge to his future efforts in composition would become an instructed, a confident, application, resulting no less in security of style than in the pleasure that comes to every craftsman who wields an instrument he understands.
