A book of practical and tried advice written
by an experienced practising teacher. Mr.
Billows has had the opportunity of seeing
the work of a great many teachers and for
some years has also been engaged in the
training of teachers. Although the findings
of the linguist and the psychologist are
taken into account in this book, nothing
is based on theoretical considerations alone.
The author believes that language only grips
and leads the mind when it is being used
significantly, and that action must therefore
come before expression.
