Use Short Words.

A man who acts as tutor and COM

dorSement on one of the bot's COM
positions: use short words-fol-
low the example of Horatto Seymour.
This III part of his address delivered
by him to students in 1873; Short
words, like love, hate or zeal, have a
clear ring which stirs our minds or our
hearts. They but tell of the joy or
grief, or rage or peace, Of life or
death. They are felt by I'LL, for their
terms mean the same thing to all men.
We, learn them in youth they are on
our lips through all our days, and we
utter them down to the close of life.
They are the apt terms with which we

words Of our tongue; they teach us how
the world was made. "God said, Let
