Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tarbell's Lessons in Language This book has been prepared for the use of pupils of the higher grammar grades. It contains a treatment of two main subjects: Grammar, or the science of the sentence; and the elements of Composition, or the art of writing. In the part which treats of Grammar are included analysis and punctuation; in that which treats of Composition are included the conventional forms of epistolary, social, business, add parliamentary writing; and practice in the art of writing, for which abundant material is supplied by exercises in the selection and arrangement of words, in description, narration, reproduction, paraphrase, and essay-writing. These subjects are arranged, as in the firs book, in the order in which the pupil can best study them, and not in the deductive order in which an adult might find most pleasure. To spend some years upon composition, often called language study, and then other years upon technical grammar, ignoring their connection and mutual helpfulness, does not produce the best culture nor prove an economical use of time. It is only when week by week of his school life the pupil is learning and applying, having constantly in hand something to study and something to write, that his mental needs are best met, and his progress best secured. That the pupil should pass from the easy to the difficult has been considered of greater importance than that cognate subtopics should be considered in connection.
