Excerpt from Paragraph-Writing: A Rhetoric for Colleges
If there is a measure of truth in what has here been urged, it would appear that for certain periods in the stu dent's development the paragraph, as an example of struc tural unity, offers peculiar advantages. The nature of these advantages has already been suggested. They are, in brief, as follows: The paragraph, being in its method practically identical with the essay, exemplifies identical principles of structure. It exemplifies these principles in small and convenient compass so that they are easily appreciable by the beginner. Further, while the writing of the paragraph exercises the student in the same elements of structure which would be brought to his attention were he drilled in the writing of essays, he can write more paragraphs than he can write essays in the same length of time; hence the character of the work may be made for him more varied.

Excerpt from Paragraph-Writing: A Rhetoric for Colleges
The idea which underlies this work and which has given to it its distinctive place and character was thus set forth in the preface to the first edition: -
Learning to write well in one's own language means in large part learning to give unity and coherence to one's ideas. It means learning to construct units of discourse which have order and symmetry and coherence of parts. It means learning theoretically how such units are made, and practically how to put them together; and further, if they turn out badly the first time, how to take them apart and put them together again in another and better order. The making and re-making of such units is in general terms the task of all who produce written discourse.
The task of the teacher of those who produce written discourse, it follows, is in great part setting students to construct such units, explaining the principles upon which the units are made, arousing a sense that they are units and not mere heaps or nebulous masses, and (hoc opus, hie labor est) correcting departures from unity, order, and coherence when such departures occur.
Work of this kind on the part of writer or of teacher presupposes a unit of discourse. Of these units there are three, - the sentence, the paragraph, and the essay or whole composition. Which of these three is best adapted, psychologically and pedagogically, to the end proposed? The sentence may be rejected at the outset as at once too simple and too fragmentary.
