To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To-day, more than ever in the history of the world, we need to cultivate expression because every invention of modem times adds another sepulchre in the graveyard of speech. Steam and lightning have so annihilated distance that expression is almost disregarded and action takes its place. The ocean grayhound, the mile a minute railway train, the telegraph, the tele- phone, and lastly "the silent drama," popu- larly known as "the movies," all conspire to slay and bury the spoken word.
That the ma...jority of young people to-day pos- sess so poor and meager a vocabulary, that they so easily slump to the language of slang, is due to the fact that they themselves have not gen- erally used the words and phrases of the great prose and poetic writers. They are not really on familiar speaking terms with what they 102 LITEBATUEE AND SPEECH read. The printed word is often like the dead pressed flower, a mere mortuary possessing but little of the color and almost none of the per- fume of the living plant.
