Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical English Composition It is the purpose of this book to accomplish four things for the student: (1) to give him continually increasing power in original composition; (2) to train him in habits of accuracy in mechanical form (spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.); (3) to develop his interest in good literature; and (4) to stimulate his interest in the affairs of the world in which he lives. From the beginning of the book to the end, students are required to do creative work and are trained to select, arrange, and express ideas so as to make the best use of what they know. The method of teaching is inductive. Models are used in such a way as to encourage and to develop original thought and expression. No blind imitation of models is possible if the method of the book is followed. This requires persistent effort along definitely indicated lines. Beginning with very simple work, the exercises gradually increase in difficulty in both subject matter and technical requirement. The assignments for student practice are varied and very extensive, ranging from the practical to the theoretical, from matters of everyday experience to matters of imagination and fancy. The subjects assigned have been taken almost entirely from lists made out by students when asked to hand in subjects in which they were interested and on which they would like to write. Necessarily, these subjects touch all phases of the lives of young people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition: A Manual of Theory and Practice IT is not too much to say that, for a very long time, the soundness of the theory which assumes that the long and laborious study of the dead languages of Greece and old Rome, must needs result in a know ledge of the living tongue of England, has been taken for granted. But, surely, actual experience has taught us, on the contrary, that, to acquire a work ing knowledge of a language by any method, other than the simple plan of studying the language itself, is (in fact) a thing impossible. The educational authorities of France and Germany have already arrived at this conclusion; and their school curriculum provides carefully graduated methods of instruction, ranging from the elements of the national tongue, to a complete system of the theory and practice of composition therein; methods which (as every teacher knows) do indisputably achieve their end: that of enabling the pupil to speak and to write his own language with facility, correctness, even with elegance. And, in so far as I have been able to adapt certain points in these methods to a different genius and tradition, I have been glad to borrow them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition The present text-book is intended as a guide to pupils in the first two years' work in English in the high school. The creed of its authors may be summed up in a few words: (1) A text-book in com position should be short, simple, clear; (2) it should set forth the principles of writing mainly in non technical language, i. E., in such language as the pupils Will recognize as being in their own sphere of interests and ideas; (3) it should lay stress upon the matter to be dealt With before the form, and upon the results to be obtained rather than the method; (4) it should give abundant suggestions as to material suitable for treatment by the pupils. In the view of the authors, the book contains material enough for the instruction in composition over a period of two years, Where such instruction is given once or twice a week. For no exercise in writ ing, of any type, is likely to attain its end if given but once. The pupil needs to try the work, to have his efforts judged by the teacher, and then to try again With the help derived from the teacher's criticisms. Even if his first attempt should be fairly successful, he should do more work of the same kind. For writ ing is an art, and, like all arts, requires frequent and thoughtful practice. With this procedure in view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter, Form and Style: A Manual of Practice in the Writing of English Composition But I may be allowed to emphasize here the principle which has guided me - namely, that in all forms of composition it is with the mass that one should begin at first, gradually paying more attention to the details of form and style. I have felt that many methods of teaching were doomed to failure because they took the component parts of a subject first, each part separately, so that the pupil could not see the wood for the trees. Whereas it would appear more human and humane to get first the creative act, and then shape the thing created.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Course in English Composition Reading up beforehand is by no means advised in every case. And yet there seems to be little warrant for the objections to this practice sometimes advanced of late. The early work of nearly every great writer shows clearly that he began by' conscious, if not deliber ate, imitation. Still, it will be apparent from even a hasty glance into this book that style is not considered the all-important thing it is the subject-matter of models and references that has in most cases led to their selection, even translations being admitted. After all else is done, one thing remains for the teacher the criticism of the pupil's work.' There fore, mechanical faults and minor individual vices of style are not discussed herein. They are as numerous and as diverse as are the individual writers. Often, too, they are not matters of absolute right or wrong. Many adventitious considerations, which cannot be foreseen here, must go to settle the question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Without entering into a detail of the defects of the systems before the public, it is sufficient to remark that they presuppose more mature thought, and a closer acquaintance with language than the pupil has acquired at the proper time to commence the study of this art. The work here presented is designed as a sequel to the author's New System of English Grammar, which forms a gradual introduction to the first principles of composition.

Stevenson, who gained in this way his own ﬂuent and individual style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of English Composition Sir Philip Sidney says of the lawyer that "our wickedness maketh him necessary, and necessity maketh him honorable." Something of the kind, I suppose most teachers would agree, might be said of textbooks of composition. Whether or not necessity makes them honorable, our deficiencies make them necessary. The best teacher of composition I have known did not use a text-book; and if we could all teach like Dean Briggs, we might wisely make a bonfire of the books. As matters stand, however, they are generally regarded as a necessary evil. On another point, I believe, a majority of teachers would agree. Experience has shown, if it has shown anything, that the amount of rhetorical theory which most students can assimilate and put into practice is small. The average college freshman finds it extremely difficult to grasp even the simplest abstract idea; the most that we can reasonably hope is that he may be induced to lay firm hold upon a few basic principles. To multiply abstractions and distinctions is to confuse him hopelessly. If the study of rhetorical theory in the freshman course were an end in itself, we might still, for the sake of the best students, be justified in presenting it elaborately and in detail. But it is not an end in itself; it is admittedly ancillary to correct and clear writing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of English Composition Of making text-books on English Composition there is no end. The author of the work here offered consulted more than fifty, and might doubtless have consulted as many more. Yet he presents no apology for adding to the list. Some are too complicated to be helpful; others too dogmatic to be trustworthy; still others are highly valuable only as works of reference. Most are addressed either to the elementary student, to the proficient, or to the teacher. Diligent search throughout fourteen years' experience in teaching college freshmen classes has brought to the present author's notice not one book which meets the requirements of the students whom year after year he has faced. They ought not, perhaps, to need review of elementary details, but they do need it. They ought, perhaps, to be able to appreciate the finer matters of style, but they are not. This book seeks to give, in small compass, the information and direction which the average boy or girl of seventeen or eighteen, who has had the average training in composition in the grades and the high schools, needs to supplement and enliven his or her ability to write clear English. It is written as much to interest as to insist, as much to stimulate as to command. It gives few rules, and those simple; many suggestions, and those, it is hoped, clear. If it contains one sentence that needs explanation by a teacher, the author has so far failed of his intention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition as a Social Problem English composition has been one of the least interesting subjects taught in the schools. The ordinary student has found the task of linguis tic expression a dull exercise. Largely because he was provided with no initial enthusiasm for composing, speaking and writing in the class room have been formal matters unrelated to his personal need to express or communicate his feelings and ideas. The pupil has been forced to observe the rules and niceties of the English language without ever being aware in any vital way of their uses to him. The result is that ex pression through language has been the most formal and artificial of all the school studies. In spite of years of training, our students fail to become easy, clear, and forceful writers. We are told that the Americans who can speak and write with efi'ective ﬂuency have learned the art outside of classrooms.
