Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military English, Official Correspondence, Orders, Messages, and Reports for Use in Courses Allied to Instruction in Military Science and Tactics, 1918 IN View of the fact that English Composition has been recognized as one of the courses of training essential to the soldiers and officers of 5the United States Military Forces, it becomes the duty of English teachers to modify their instruction so as to conform to the recommendation made by the War Department Committee on Education in the Special Descriptive Circular on English (c. B. 6 - Sept. Q4). The authors have sought to prepare a brief book to meet the second of the requirements named in the War Department circular drill in correspondence and report writing and their adaptation to the needs of the military organization. The most direct purpose which the book will serve is to teach the soldier student, or prospective officer, how to write the correspondence, orders, messages, and reports which will be required of him, and which he will be called upon to understand even if he does not write them. The book gives instructions, models, and exercises which cover those parts of paperwork which require composition. Throughout the chapters emphasis is laid on the essential features of military ilanguage, on clearness, brevity, and precision. The last chapter contains many famous orders which illustrate those qualities of a leader's style which make for the upbuilding of morale.
