Excerpt from Writing of Today: Models of Journalistic Prose
The generous welcome given to the first two issues of 'writing of Today' has prompted the preparation of a third edition with such improvements as have been suggested by our own and others' experience in using the book for teaching purposes. We wish again to express our gratitude to those who have found time, amid the heavy responsibilities of teaching English composition, to send us not only words of approval and encouragement, but criticisms whereby the book has been made more effective for the purpose for which it was de signed. Some sections have been entirely recast, and none has been left with out alteration. Considerable changes were necessitated by the publication of new and more timely material from which selections could be made. We wish to renew our thanks to the authors and publishers whose generosity has made it possible to combine variety of topic and treatment with a high standard of literary excellence.
