A Plea for English

Dudley, David A.

Journal of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors, 21, 1, 3-6, Jul 76

The author links the decline in writing with a movement in college English departments which pronounce it "immoral" to correct a student's writing habits and a similar movement in the high schools. He pleads for re-emphasis on exactness in reading and on good writing. (Author)
