When we know of what we are going to write, we should con- sider carefully the choice of words. Put thoughts in writing then re-read several times making such changes in placing and ranking both matter and words, so that our composition will be clear and emphatic. By listen- ing to the best speakers and reading the works of the best authors we will make their thoughts and expressions our own, thereby obtaining a large vocabulary and a varied style of writing. For just as in an instru- ment, so in style, there must be a harmony and consent of parts. If these suggestions are adhered to, with practice one will become a good writer.
