Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday English Composition The object of this book is to improve the speech and the writing of the pupils, to develop their ability to think clearly, and to give them standards of appreciation and criticism. Constant stress laid on habits of thinking and on organization of material tends to make the pupils resourceful and self-reliant. The subject matter is limited to essentials - common matters of everyday speaking and writing. To a large extent the presentation is inductive, and an effort has been made both to vitalize and to humanize the work. Part One emphasizes good form and the manipulation of sentences and simple paragraphs. Part Two applies these tools of language to the most common forms of composition, stressing not only sentences and paragraphs but also matters of construction that apply particularly to the form of composition under consideration. The following are the important features of the book: 1. The assignments are varied in character, including talks, letters, themes, exercises, criticisms, games, dramatizations, and long themes. They are largely selected from the pupils' world and from vocational and community interests, and are adapted to the ability of the pupils. 2. The illustrative matter includes selections from both old and modem classics, and from magazines and newspapers as well as from the work of pupils. These selections also are closely related to the interests of the pupils. 3. Oral composition receives as much attention as written composition. The exercises in organization of ideas, choice of words, manner of speaking, and personal poise furnish valuable training for the pupils.
