Excerpt from How to Write Secondary Lessons in the English Language: Illustrated With Over Engravings

IF the child were in the habit of formulating in good Eng lish his ideas as he gains them, the words representing the ideas would become a part of his available vocabulary. He would then find no difficulty in expressing himself, as he would have an appropriate nomenclature for each idea in his possession. Many words are understood when seen because of their connection, but are not available for speech because they have not been added to the vocabulary by use. These words are the exact measure of what one falls short of being a ready talker.

If the child were trained to express his knowledge, to gether with his thoughts thereon and his conclusions there from, while he is acquiring the knowledge and while it is becoming a part of himself, he would necessarily, though unconsciously, perhaps, assimilate the style of him who pre sents the subjects investigated, as well as the nomenclature belonging to them. His ability to express his thoughts would thereby be kept parallel with his taste, and talking or writ ing on these subjects would not be difficult for him.
