    Dear Miss David:

    I was pleased to receive your letter and to learn about your desire to receive my opinion about the study of English in high school.

    No matter what sort of life a person is going to lead, it is, I believe, of great value to him to be able to express his thoughts clearly, either in writing or orally. It is the purpose of studying English that the student should learn to do this.

    I hope that in your study of English you are given practice in public speaking, as well as in writing. My wife is an excellent public speaker. Only last week she gave a talk about the peace movement in the United States at a meeting attended by about 200 people, and she made a great impression on the members of the audience. I also spoke at that meeting, which was held in the Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo, Norway.

    My wife mentioned to me afterward that when she was a girl, in high school, she won a contest in public speaking that was participated in by students from other high schools in the State of Oregon. I think that she may be an excellent speaker now just because of the training that she received in high school.

    With best wishes to you, I am

    Sincerely yours,

    [Linus Pauling]
