Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Practice in the Teaching of Composition
In preparing these chapters, my hope has been to offer suggestions which might be immediately useful to every teacher of composition. There are many admirable studies of the arts of Speaking and writing; many useful texts in composition for the children, but few books which deal with the teacher's problems in presenting the subject. As it becomes daily more obvious that boys and girls are to be taught to speak and write not indirectly by the study of grammar but directly by the practice of composition, it 'is increasingly important that solutions for some of these problems be found. If the'principles enunci ated and the suggestions made here point out the way to any teacher, they will have justified themselves.
I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Women Teachers' Club of the City of Edmonton for whom these lectures were originally prepared and in whose interest the book was begun, and also to Mr. G. F. Mcnally without whose encouragement and advice it would never have been finished.'
