Excerpt from Model English the Qualities of Style, Vol. 2 The third stage, described by the word style, is the sub ject of Model English, Book II. Invention is the chief topic of Book I, better known under its former title, Imitation and Analysis. Arrangement is adequately treated in both books. The two books embody a complete and practical presenta tion of the art of composition for secondary schools. Model English, as its name implies, teaches composition, in the way every art must be taught, by the following of master-models. Definitions are given in the form of direc tions, and technical terms are kept subordinate. Defini tions and terms have their legitimate use, but to commit them to memory does not make writers or Speakers. (see appendix, Directions for Teachers.) The Speaker or writer is made by speaking and writing, and though each one should furnish his own thoughts, he need not, and for the most part cannot, devise new words or new forms of sentences and paragraphs. For these he must go to the best authors, avoiding individual mannerisms and adopting what is stand ard in English.
