Excerpt from Spectator, 1907
The importance of this subject in the High School course can not be over estimated. It is the subject which opens up every other avenue to an education, and which, if neglected, will handicap pro gress along any other line.
The English course covers two lines of work; the mechanical side and the literary side. By mechanical is meant the ability to write clear, concise and elegant English; to understand the method of composition from a grammatical standpoint. This is included under what is usually termed Composition and Rhetoric. The lit crary side of the course means the interpretation of the best litera ture, the creation ofa love for classics, the ability to tell a good novel from a pernicious one, and a thorough knowledge of the rise and development of the English language.
In order to do the work indicated daily recitations throughout the four years are required. In general the strictly literary work covers the following: The reading and interpreting of at least twenty classics; the outside reading of a dozen of the world's best novels; a panoramic view of the world's literature, showing the greatest literary men of Norway, Russia, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Asia; a thorough knowledge of American and English literatures as set forth in good manuals; a brief course in philology; a survey of Biblical literature, and an intensive study of the origin, growth and development of the Eng lish language.
The Composition and Rhetoric work is based on Lockwood and Emerson's Rhetoric and covers the first two years. Weekly compositions are required and an original story each semester.
