story. If y will revise your paragraph three times. you will have a paragraph three timm as good as the first one. Do not use the first word that comes to your mind. Search for the best. better to write one composition four times than four competitions once. ‘Iibe great thing is to believe in the importance of words and to use none without the care of the good workman. It is the last suit: ence that is ‘ 16mm“ w-
