Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Second Book of Composition: For High Schools
He who can explain himself may command what he will. This statement of Professor George Herbert Palmer's, intended to assert the value of any power of effective speech, might well serve as a motto for this chapter. The impor tance of this power to explain, to make Clear to another exactly what is in one's mind, is universally felt. You all know how worth while it is, both in school and out of school. Such ability is not ordinarily a gift, but a reward. It belongs, at least in some degree, to everyone who will earn it.
