Author Description

Excerpt from The Correction of Papers Let us begin with the medium of utterance.

Hence the need of having the student read many of his exercises aloud, so that he may acquire the habit of uttering premeditated truth, may receive correction by word of mouth, and may reform a number of his thoughts and phrases with the living voice.
