There is no royal road to learning.
but you can make the way to a better
understanding OF our own language
much easier. The person who does
not need to increase his or her vo-

many are those who have found by

standing OF words is a heavy handicap
in business and social life.
To ignore this opportunity to have
at your elbow the education you necu,
