These comparisons have yielded up numerous scholastic opinions as to what facet of Shakespeare’s genius is responsible for the excellence of characters he produced. There are those opinions which hold that Shakespeare was merely a clever borrower, and epicurean, as it were, daintily picking and choosing from the dramatic viands ready to his hand. Other opinions, through granting that Shakespeare was a borrower in “the grand …

A brief review of the evolution of written communication will be of interest before considering the possibility of predicting writing success in advance of writing instruction. 1. Earliest Types of Writing. Records of time and number were ingeniously kept by such devices as notches in sticks or knots in cords.

However, a need of records for religious and government purposes, trade and general communication urges the further development of writing.

The “golden age” of the arts in England in the sixteenth century came about largely because of the combined efforts of poets and musicians. That Elizabethan England is renowned for her music and literature is no accident. Experiments in the new musical forms were being made on the continent, particularly in Italy. Here the first efforts were made to fuse music and the drama in purely secular ways.

A Study Of Word Usage In The Sixth Grades Of The Omaha Public Schools, Mary Lou Gallup
Student Work

One of the most significant developments in the American Educational System has been the extension of instructional services to Exceptional Children.

In no other aspect has this development meant so much as it has in rendering educational assistance to the children with speech defects. Educators have long realized the importance of speech in the conduction of everyday life, but until recent years speech therapy had shown little progress.
