Almost without looking, we know that the red-penciled scrawl is another plea to us to clarify our writing. “Why all this fuss?” we ask. The teacher must knowr what we mean when we say “melancholy is when you’re sad” or “Hamlet, obsessed to almost madness by the terribly frightful appearance of the ghost of his murdered father, continues to cleverly kill Claudius.” Then we begin to think. The teacher must know, after all. Perhaps we should pay more attention to her comments and suggestions. Per- haps we should use our dictionaries and grammar books. We try, and are delighted with the results—a better mark, a pleased comment, and a stare of amazement from the teacher. We may not realize it now, but our new prowess in English has given us much more than a good grade or a 'bigger allowance from our happy parents. It has given us the ability to express our own ideas clearly and to grasp the ideas and beliefs of others with new understanding. 26

Through Practice, Speech, And Drama Urged on by love, fear, and irritation, Miss Casey’s rapid learners analyze A Portrait of the Artist and To the Lighthouse. An- guished moans and shrieks of joy denote “Hopelessly Mediocre” or Effective” writing. 27
