A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The editors of this book realize that efficient teachinf of the art of discourse consists in establishing habits of orderly and effective speaking and writing. All instruction in this art must be bent continuously toward fostering these habits the product of patient practice. With this general principle in view the immediate aims of the present book may be indicated as follows: I. A necessary preliminary to orderly speaking and writing is a knowledge of what constitutes order. But this knowledge should be as compact and categorical as feasible; otherwise the time that should be given to practice and to habit-making will be consumed in studying page after page of talk about talking, and writing about writing. An attempt has been made, therefore, to give briefly such an account of the categories of expositor)- thought and thought relations as will enable the student completely to analyze a given section of exposition into its component parts and to show the interrelation of the parts. By understanding these relations the student acquires the desired knowledge of orderly construction, for always the understanding of the interrelation of the parts of a whole amounts to knowledge of construction. Not by learning general rules for order, but by analyzing and practicing the relations Jthat constitute order, is proficiency in orderly thought to be won. jT he editors believe that a severe and protracted drill in this sort of analysis is much needed by students at the present time. Our students do not know how to get anothers thought exactly, how to restate it exactly, how to think with exactness themselves. Poor OJ thought, intuitive and blundering thought, impressionistic assertion, c: vague conclusions from vaguer premises these belong to the habits -of thought of our students. They belong, also, to the habits of jpresent-day thought in general.
