Book excerpt: Excerpt from White's Practical Grammar and Composition White's Practical Grammar and Composition is the result of many years of close observation and hard study by the author. Grammar is the science of the sentence. No other subject requires a more concise and general treatment. Grammar reveals the processes by which thought is expressed, and when properly presented is calculated to lead pupils into a knowledge of their own powers of mind. Every word, phrase and clause in a sentence should be thoroughly understood, and this knowledge can be obtained only by frequent drills in analysis and parsing. In the study of the sentence, analysis should always be considered a leading product, and for this reason the author has prepared a very plain, practical and common sense system of diagrams. The model diagrams are accompanied by frequent drills in analysis and parsing, which, together with supplemental exercises in composition waiting, are sufficient to elucidate the correct application of the words used. Educators realize that a serious impediment to the study of grammar is the introduction into the schools of the country of books which do not present the subject in a plain, practical manner; nor do they contain a complete, natural arrangement of the fundamental principles of the subject. To supply this urgent need this book has been prepared. Parents of limited education who realize their inability to assist their children in the preparation of grammar lessons, will find this work a "present help in time of need," at least to the extent of the questions and answers, which form a part of each lesson. It is, in fact, a self-instructor and insures an easy, interesting and thorough preparation of the lessons.
