Excerpt from Writing for Print: A Handbook in Journalistic Composition, With Suggestions on the Organization and Conduct of the High School Newspaper AN appreciation of good literature is seldom developed among young people by that minute analysis of those who apply the laboratory method to the study of literary masterpieces. Often the fact that a book has been read under a forced draft has produced a positive distaste for an author, and this has persisted long after graduation. Then, too, some of the books thus prescribed for compulsory reading have been selected by those who, forgetting what young people are like, have presumed too much upon the assimilative capacity of youth. It is here that writing for publication, for an actual audi ence, steps in to help the instructor in English composition. Young folk who were going into the factory or the home, and therefore have cared little for ordinary themes, realize for the first time the practical value of being able to use words and sentences correctly in reporting life around them. Clearness and force mean something more than rhetorical terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
