Practical English Composition II

By Edwin L Miller

The object of this book is to teach high-school boys and girls how to write plain newspaper English. Next to letter-writing, this is at once the

simplest and the most practical form of composition. The pupil who does pre?minently well the work outlined in this volume may become a proof-reader, a reporter, an editor, or even a journalist. In other words, the student of this book is working on a practical bread-and-butter proposition. He must remember, however, that the lessons it contains are elementary. They are only a beginning. And even this beginning can be made only by the most strenuous and persistent exertions. English is not an easy subject. It is the hardest subject in the curriculum. To succeed in English three things are required: (1) Work; (2) Work; (3) WORK.
