ll he produce? What are the chances that
he will not starve to death before he can produce anything? If
you give him tools, and "grub-stake" him, in mining lingo, or

got to be paid for their produce in some way. The man in

VII. Analysis

1. What is proved by this editorial?

2. The method of Model I consists of overwhelming the enemy with an
avalanche of examples. The method of Model II is to define the
words used by an opponent and, by analyzing the meaning of what

3. Note the framework: (Par. 1) "Four W's"; (Par. 2) Statement of
Positions of Opponent and Writer; (Par. 3) Exposition of
Writer's Position; (Par. 4) Refutation of Opponent's Idea;
(Par. 5) Conclusion.

VIII. Exercises

1. Define and discuss the etymology of "collision," "transported,"
"convert," "considerable," "reimburse," "dividend,"

"extract," "percentage," "average."

2. Subject for short expository speeches: "Socialism," "Shares,"
"Bonds," "Corporations," "Savings Banks," "Interest."

3. Write an answer to the model.

4. Write an editorial refuting some current fallacy or what you
deem such. Use the analytic method of the model.

5. Examine the editorials in some current paper to determine
whether they are expository or argumentative, constructive or
destructive, if their frameworks are as good as those of the
models, if their matter is as convincing, if their style is as
good, and if their total effect is better or worse.
