Description:Excerpt from Teacher's Reference Book: For Marshall's Business English Language affords the means as well as the evidence of intelligence. Whoever acquires the knowledge and use of a new word, acquires, also, the idea for which that word stands, and adds that much to his mental capital. The mind, like the body, grows by what it feeds upon, and it gains in strength by the clear thinking that finds expression in correct and exact language. Long ago Lord Bacon gave expression to these basal truths in his famous observation: Reading make a full man, conversation a ready man, and writing an exact man. No other educational requirement has so much to do with ones personal success, as the ability to speak and write ones mother tongue effectively. Throughout our country, and in all departments of business and professional life, there is a pressing call for men and women who have been trained to the ready use of good English. No commercial house wants a traveling representative who cannot present his business intelligently and correctly. A man who cannot write or dictate a letter expressed in clear language and in correct form, will rarely be entrusted with the management of a business enterprise. Ones intelligence is estimated by the way he uses language, just as his social position will be inferred by the kind of clothes he wears. The man who dresses like a tramp will be taken for a tramp, and the person who speaks inaccurately and ungrammatically, or writes a letter containing errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc., will be taken for an ignoramus and, usually, with entire justice. These thoughts are offered in the hope that they may impress the student with the great practical importance of the work outlined in the following course in language-training. The standards of commercial English are each year growing higher, and familiarity with its requirements is of paramount importance to those who are looking forward to a business career. Lesson 1. Some Important Essentials. 2. An acceptably written English sentence. 3. To use a common phrase, the sentence must must be correct in the following particulars: sound right. 4. The words must be spelled according 5. The sentence must be grammatical, and to standard usage, and capital letters must be free from slang or other impurities of speech, properly used. Most people know enough to observe, fairly. The necessary punctuation-marks must well, the foregoing requirements, but comparatively few have acquired the habit of doing so. Such words must be chosen as will and painstaking practice, express the thought accurately and clearly following rules.
