Reaching Other Minds

1928. A primer for freshman English. In the author's words: Freshman English will be less difficult for the student if he recognizes that college courses are to be different from high school courses; if he realizes that class work aims to coach him in writing; if he understands that there are some things about writing that can be learned by those who will focus their attention on method. Contents: What Writing is For; Flavor in Writing; Thoughts That Will Grasp Another's Mind; Producing Thought; Organizing Thoughts for Communication; How the Mind Receives Through Writing; and Language That Takes Hold.
