Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical English Composition, Vol. 1
This book may be used during the eighth, ninth, or tenth year of school. It is the first in a series of four, each of which has been planned to cover one stage in the composition work of the secondary school course. These volumes are all designed to furnish material adapted as exactly as possible to the capacity of the pupils. The exercises which they contain have been devised with the idea of reproducing the methods of self-instruction which have been employed by success ful writers from Homer to Kipling. Most of them have been subjected to the test of actual classroom use on a large scale. They may be used independently or as supplementary to a more formal textbook. Each volume contains rather more work than an ordinary class can do in one hundred recitations.
