The part of a word to which the hyphen is attached should be an integral part; that is, an entire syllable, and not merely certain letters composing only a part of a syllable.
Quotation Marks.—Quotation marks (“ ”) are used to distinguish a word, phrase, clause, sentence, or passage taken word for word, from any source outside that of the writing into which it is inserted.
A quotation within a quotation is marked off only by a single inverted comma before and after it. But a quotation within the second quotation requires double marks.
A passage quoted, not word for word, but only in substance, is often distinguished by but one quotation mark before and after it.
Capital Letters.—In examinations containing papers the rating of which is determined in part by correctness in the use of capital letters the average candidate is usually at a disadvantage. The following rules, if committed to memory, will enable the candidate to avoid errors which, if made, might cause him to fail in the examination.
The first word of every sentence should begin with a capital letter.
The days of the week, the months of the year, and holidays.
The names of places and countries; as, England, Yonkers, Belmont Park, etc.
The names of States, Mountains, Rivers and Lakes.
All words used to signify the Deity; as, He, Him, His, Thou, Thee, Thine, etc.
